As part of a wider Academic Simplification suite of projects, this webinar shares how it sought to improve academic administrative efficiencies and assessment data accuracy through the assessment grades. Their existing home-grown process for grades return presented a number of issues and, a decision was made to investigate the use of the Grades Journey Solution. This webinar will describe the project requirements and how the Grades Journey Solution has been adapted to meet some (but not all) of these since their Online Results Entry project went live in December 2015.
