Felix Power (x3097) and Brian Osborne (x8576)
Session AimsConsider why we need a new
systemThe role of feedback in
assessment and how this can be supported by StudyNet
Consider briefly alternative methods of assessment that could be supported by an on-line system
Existing Assignment SystemDesigned for
◦Distance Learning modules (25% by 2015)
◦Small groupsNot scalableCould crash and take StudyNet
with it ...Only the OU have more online
hand-insData “trapped” in the module
websiteOnly supports very basic
traditional assessment paths
The new system ...Option to use available
2010/2011Becomes default in 2011/2012Turn on in Module configuration
Where would you like to mark?How can StudyNet assist you
with providing feedback and managing marking load?
New Assignments System Infrastructure
New InfrastructureMore powerSeparation of functions means
StudyNet should still run even if Assignment Servers crash
Allows us to have an off-line marking client
Marking SchemesDrop down box with choice of
marks from those in the scheme◦Standard Percentage Scheme
1 to 100◦Limited Percentage Scheme
48, 52, 55, etc◦Postgraduate Pass Fail
Pass or FailEnsures consistency between
markers
Feedback SchemesTwo on offerDesigned by the LTI

Feedback Schemes: Radio ButtonsRadio button choices are mapped
to paragraphs of textEdit suggested text to make
◦More personal◦Pick out examples from student’s
work◦More accurate and relevant
Example paragraph for Knowledge Excellent. Your work shows
comprehensive knowledge of the topic in the context of this assignment. You might want to think about relating this to other contexts to increase your grade further.

Show Graph
Monitoring Student Performance across modulesUnder development for release
this year or nextView how a particular student did
in a particular skill (e.g. Use of English, Use of Maths) across all their modules to highlight weaknesses
This could be used as evidence in student CVs. Strengths (e.g. Teamwork)
Offline Marking ClientDownload submissions for your
assignment onto a laptop/tablet pc when you are in office (may take some time)
Mark where ever you can use the laptop/tablet pc
Reconnect to network and synchronise
Download zip file for TurnitinEasy way to get all the
assignment submissions in one place
Not just for TurnitinCan choose All files or just
Turnitin compatible filesCan download files for a
particular marker
Student Submission to TurnitinStudents can get an individual
reportLecturers can choose in the
configuration if this option should be on and how they would submit – multiple / once
