  11. Submission Issues 1. Wrong formatting of assignment 2. Wrong assignment submitted 3. File not attached 4. Paper submissions 5. No acknowledgement of receipt for submission 6. Late submissions

  12. Receipt for submission • No acknowledgement sent to student confirming receipt of assignment • Concern for many students

  13. Late submissions • The submission link in the assignment tab hidden from student view after the submission deadline • Special provision must be made for students who submit late • One possible solution is to include a second submission link in the assignment tab which is expressly for late submissions

  15. Grade Centre • Blackboard COURSE MANAGEMENT • Grade Centre • Drop down: • Needs Marking • Full Grade Centre • Assignments • Tests

  21. Issues with Second Marking • Choice of scripts • Identifying in Grade Centre which scripts have been second marked

  22. Moderation by the External Examiner • Access to BB as an external examiner • Training • Email from Module Leader : • 1. Notifying scripts ready for moderation, • 2. Identifying which scripts had been • second marked • Feedback from External on scripts and on-line process

  23. Release of Marks and Feedback Issues: 1. Unintended early release 2. Approval of any claims for extenuating circumstances by students submitting late. BB is not linked to Thesis 3. Admin staff do not have access to BB so they need to be given marks to upload to Thesis 4. Agree with External Examiner timing of adding any comments on Grade Centre 5. Delay in release

  24. Remember • This is one experience of several pilots that are being undertaken • Purpose is to identify and then resolve issues in readiness for general roll out.
