Electronic
Submission, Marking and Feedback – Update
Three
Colleagues,
This is the third
communication from the e-Submission project team; please see www.derby.ac.uk/esubmission
for more detailed information.
How’s
the project going?
The project is on
schedule, Turnitin is now integrated into UDo Course Resources and
is available to use. The staff development is well underway. Over
200 members of staff have now undertaken the initial staff
development with a further 80 booked onto events.
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
information should I give at student
induction?
Inform your level four
students they will be submitting their text based assignments
online, detailed advice and guidance will be available on a
dedicated student web site shortly; module tutors will give clear
and detailed instructions at the appropriate time. Additional
information for handbooks 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 with the latest submission
time of 21.00hrs on the assignment deadline date (local time in
Derby). This means your students
can submit at anytime up to the 21.00hrs deadline, it just means
that if they experience problems they are not anxious or concerned
for extended periods of time before support is available. Students
cannot submit on Friday or later than 21.00hrs on the assignment
deadline date. We do recommend as a team that you schedule your
assessments over a period of days towards the end of the
semester.
IT
equipment?
As you start to mark
online you may benefit from using a larger monitor or an
additional second monitor. During the staff
development sessions the Learning Technology Advisers will discuss
this and help assess if you need additional IT
equipment.
Pilot
Groups
We are running pilot
groups to assess the use of a range of technologies and IT equipment
such as Audio Feedback via digital voice recorders or using mobile
devices. If you are interested in being involved in this process
please contact the Learning Technology
Advisers to
discuss.
