What Have We Done?

Feedback:

• Staff are most concerned about change to online marking

• Administrators embrace efficiency savings of online process

• Markers benefit from more time to mark

• Students very enthusiastic

• Assessment practices vary widely, ‘one size doesn’t fit all’

• Staff perception of lack of human interaction with students

I can see pros and cons. I think it would streamline hand-in, administrative processing and return of coursework, but it might be clunky in terms of providing feedback

Improved quality of feedback (both in terms of detail and promptness).

Speed of processing (administratively) coursework.

...can't be done without a computer...

Markers wanting administrators to print. I won’t use it!
