Challenges: Rollover and Reporting
• PDFs sent to straight academics• No record of module • No mechanism for tracking which scans still in use • Time consuming inventory of VLE to update records
Challenges: Compliance with CLA
• Proliferation of checks to be carried out• Demonstrating compliance• Clarity for staff over what is permitted
Challenges: Maintaining in-house system
• Reliant on support from one person • Different authentication screen• In need of more development e.g. request
