2. Deployment of Assessment
Manager/Tracker across the
whole college
• Our journey in redeveloping Assessment
Manager as an E-portfolio and
assessment tracking system in Moodle
• Launching it across the college to be
inspection ready.
• The benefits for our students and staff
2

3. The Vision
• Learner/staff centred portal that
provides all data necessary to aid the
learning experience
• Improve the efficiency and effectiveness
of the information flow between
systems
• Ensure the learners and staff develop
the systems that work for them
3

4. The change
• A robust VLE was built with a vision on
how to integrate the e-systems
• Staff and students were consulted
• Moodle was unitized with one course
per qualification unit
• A staged roll-out plan was developed
• Staff could choose their assessment
criteria to suit assessment processes

7. Why it works
• Students and staff designed the system
• In house development means there is
instant response; student and staff
satisfaction is guaranteed and e-systems
are tailored to their needs
• Instant access to data is very motivational
for students and staff
• Senior Management supported the entire
process
• ICT, MIS, E-learning and curriculum work as
a team towards the same goal

8. Benefits to the Learner

needs and they have taken ownership of it and can

E-portfolios, course learning content, progress in their
functional skills, online submission and feedback of
assignments, and plagiarism tools

11. Assessment Manager Compared
• The only system that you can mark the
assignments and check off the tracking
in the same place (Moodle based)
• The only system that is free
• The only system where activities in the
VLE are directly linked to the portfolio
• The only system that can be tailored to
suit your needs (open source)
11

12. What’s left to do
• Add csv exports for portfolio tracking
pages
• Create reporting features to provide
over views of learners progress against
their entry quals and initial grade
• Reintroduce the EV features that have
been turned off in the programming
