External Examiner Allocation

Second Marker Comments

Dashboard

Feeding the Dashboard• Can we take student achievement data in various categories as input to the Dashboard?•Would need standardisation• Gives less flexibility in creating Grids/Schemes

Feedback Schemes

• Feedback text generated from marker selections•Only one•Used by < 15% last year

Marking Grids

What is the difference?• “The marking grid justifies your mark but it is carefully worded comments that the students value for their development” (Feedback Workshop description)• Marking Grids: fixed text• Feedback Schemes: text generated = starting point

Marking Grids• Transparency / Trust• Hope to have an exemplar grid live for Sem B

Marking Grid – Marker’s View

• Very similar to a feedback scheme at this point

Marking Grid – Student’s View

Granularity – Do we include sub categories?

• Accurate capture of student achievement on Grid

• Could be technical issues (particularly OMC)• Harder to develop schemes• First column in example would

not work

Pros

Cons

How many Grids?• Relevant but controlled• School / Programme / Several per Programme (for different types of assessment)?•What would you like to see?

Core Transferable Skills• Captured by • Grids?• Feedback Schemes?
