Electronic
Submission, Marking and Feedback – Update
Two
Colleagues,
This is the second
communication from the e-Submission project team; please see www.derby.ac.uk/esubmission
for more information.
How’s
the project going?
The project is going
well and is on schedule, the board have confirmed that phase one
will involve implementation to level four modules in AY11/12 and
that all other levels will follow in Phase Two in AY12/13.
What
Staff Development is available?
The staff development
is mandatory for all
academic staff, so please book now to ensure the slot that best
suits your needs. Dates for this are available on the project
website at the following link Staff
Development. You can access staff development face
to face or via online webinars. After the formal mandatory staff
development there are online audiovisual and printable resources to
offer continuing support. If you would like to arrange a session for
a programme or subject team please contact the LEI Learning
Technology Advisers on learningtechs@derby.ac.uk
to arrange this.
If you are planning to
use the system early in the semester please contact the learning technology
team to arrange prioritised training in order for
you and your students to be ready to use the system. Members of the
user
group have suggested that all staff should use the
submission system for a small piece of formative work before the
main submission process, by doing this you will familiarise yourself
and students with the system.
What
should I put in my programme/module handbook?
Inform your level four
students they will be submitting their text based assignments
online, detailed advice and guidance can be found at Advice for
Handbooks, please feel free to use this as a
framework for tailoring to your programme or module.
When
can I set my submission deadlines?
Your students will be
able to submit from Monday to Thursday up to 21.00hrs. Students
cannot submit on Friday or later than 21.00hrs to allow any problems
that may arise to be dealt with promptly when staff are onsite to
provide necessary support or assistance to ensure work has been
submitted correctly. We do recommend as a team that you schedule
your assessments over a period of days towards the end of the
semester.
If
I print to mark will I still have to use Electronic
Feedback?
Yes, if you have
selected the print to mark option you will be able to make notes on
the scripts and it is your responsibility to return this work to the
student. However it is a
requirement to return the feedback electronically via Turnitin as
there will not be a traditional front sheet for your feedback or
grade. This in many ways is no different to current
practice and rather than writing a summary on the front sheet, you
will type it directly on to the electronic equivalent. The print to
mark option is available this year only to assist you in managing
your own transition to marking electronically on screen; we are
encouraging everyone to try electronic marking in some form as soon
as possible.
Programme
e-submission Champions
As we move into the
next phase we are looking for a champion in every programme. If you
would like to be involved speak to your line manager.
