Being the middle (wo)man - Designing assessment workflows that make everyone happy... ish
- 1. Being the middle (wo)man Designing assessment workflows that make everyone happy… ish Durham Blackboard User Group, January 2013 Adel Gordon University of Northampton
- 2. Disclaimer I’m not a Workflows expert
- 3. Background • 2 x projects running in parallel – QNIG (QL & NILE Integration Group) – SaGE (Submitting and Grading Electronically) • New sites for 12/13 based on QA templates – As well as: • SaGE across whole Institution • New Blackboard theme • Change of tools (Bb blogs & wikis, Kaltura, EduBlogs…)
- 5. Where are we now… • First phase of SaGE up and running • Piloting rubrics (to build grades and give clear criteria) Next phase • Integrate Image source: http://channelnomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Integrate.jpg
- 6. Successes • Student submission • Basic level of online marking • Provisional grades & feedback delivered to students online • Initial procedures for second marking and external moderation (but…)
- 7. Challenges • Timescales • Training • Grading challenges – Letter Grades/Grading Schemas – Turnitin • Integration (naming conventions of submission areas) • Getting all the information we need!
- 8. Who is involved? Admins Academics Externals Quality LT Execs Students Systems
- 9. Lessons Learned • Too flexible? – Limit to one tool • Student experience – Limit to first year students • Letter grading – a step too far? • Paper processes • Second marking and external moderation

- QNIG Phase 1, 2 summers ago Phase 2, last summer New sites for 12/13 based on QA templates (data matching, more later) SaGE - Across institution from Sept 12
- Student Point – Turnitin, Assignment Tool, Blogs Wikis.. First marker Second marker
- Integrate – not systems, but processes Making best use of the processes we ’ ve put into place for their L&T benefits and pulling out data to satisfy admin. Minimising and sometimes eliminating duplication. Not an institution that goes down the customisation route. We don ’ t have the support in house to sustain and support customisations and therefore it could drastically affect our upgrade schedules.
- Timescales – pushed forward from top, resisted from tutors Letter grading – primary display can ’ t default to customised schemas Turnitin doesn ’ t accept letter grades Naming conventions – NILE admin… API for Turnitin to use flat files to create submission points? Training – get to everyone? Partner colleges, part time tutors, tutors that don ’ t want to Getting all the information we need – Admins, second marking (varying practice), external moderations (give examples of the forms – 6 different forms that I know of). Determining the processes and the varying practice and rationalising them to develop a central process.

- LTs tended organically move into the middle position – where officially a project team.
- Too flexible – limit to Turnitin Student experience - first years only Paper processes – need a very clear overview of all the paper processes Lobbying HeLF Heads of eLearning Forum – blackboard for UK specific processes, Make sure that everyone can see the benefits that they will get – SAO, not sure they were open and honest as they saw it as a threat.
