ASSIGNMENT SUBMISSION

Units are typically defined as having the following

Assignment mix:

• Report, Case Study, Essay

• Collaboration (e.g. Wiki)

• Reflection (e.g. Blog)

• Test / MCQ

• Portfolio

software (Turnitin) to aid the marking and feedback

processes. Currently students are not offered the

ability to review the Originality Report due to the

amount of training required to instruct them on how

to read the report correctly. from creation of the assessments themselves, along with

maintenance of quality processes and procedures, through to the

methods and practices for ease of submission, and onto marking,

feedback, resubmissions and successful completion. Key

aspirations combine preservation of quality educational standards,

security of paperwork and efficacy of functionality whilst aiming to

prevent additional workload falling on either tutors or students.

Assignment mix:

• 100% Coursework,

• 100% TCP (Time-Constrained Paper), or

• 50% Coursework / 50% TCP

Assignments are created based on the Intended

Learning Outcomes required for the Unit subject or

discipline, and can take the form of:

• Portfolio

Assignments that take the form of a report, essay, or

case study are submitted using either the VLE

assignment submission or Turnitin plagiarism

detection/deterrent tool(s).

Where we are able to, and according to the assignment

type , we use plagiarism detection & deterrent

to read the report correctly.

Based on a small pilot study that took place in early

2011, future developments of eAssessment and online

submission will involve careful consideration of the

possibilities added by technological advances in areas

of online submission, plagiarism detection and

deterrence, along with a clear indication to students of

benefits of usage.
