Editor's Notes
- A reasonable number of new features, small quite small, some rather more substantial
- Start with a small one. Simple private messaging within a course Not a new tool, but wasn’t available to us before moving to hosted due to server issues. Allows you to send and receive private messages to users within a course, and it has notification in the Updates area so you don’t have to go into messaging in the course to see if you have any.
- There is now an improved group tool that has allowed us to remove the old groups viewer, which was an extension not written by Bb, and the new features have replaced and improved that tool. CHANGE Manage tool availability for all groups on the All Groups page. Import and export groups and group memberships. Sort columns, perform bulk actions for deleting groups, and create Grade Centre smart views for one or more groups on the All Groups page. CHANGE Choose and manage membership for groups sets with an improved workflow. CHANGE Easily see which students are in which groups, including which students are not in any groups. Easily see and modify group memberships. Easily add multiple users to groups
- There have been a few changes around grades and the grade centre. CHANGE The Order by drop-down list allows students to change order by course, last activity, or due date. By default, items are ordered by course, which displays items in the order the instructor has arranged them in Grade Center. Students can narrow the listed items by selecting All, Graded, Upcoming, and Submitted. For example, Graded only shows rows that have been graded by the instructor. Feedback is included right in-line so that students don’t need to click anything to view it—it just shows up on the page. CHANGE A Score Attempts Using drop-down list has been added to the Test Options and Create Assignment pages. CHANGE Test Total Points Adjustment now allows you to modify the total and override the calculated total if you want to do so CHANGE Instructors can now make the uppermost value in a grading schema greater than 100%. For example, if a student earns 100% or more, an instructor may choose to assign A+ to those scores.
- There have been a few changes for tests. CHANGE In calculated formula questions, instructors can now select the number of decimals or significant figures for the correct answers generated by the system. CHANGE There is now a test access log that provides detailed information on student test attempt interaction. Accessed from the test attempt, it shows the start and submissison times for the test, and the timings for all the questions that the student has saved during the attempt CHANGE One last smaller change is now all questions are now retained in exported and imported tests, including questions that originate outside the exported test, such as Question Sets, Random Blocks, and Question Links. When the user exports a test and imports it back into a different course, all questions are now present irrespective of their origin.
- This is the really big enhancement - the new anonymous and delegated marking tool. Designed with in depth collaboration with UK institutions. It's split into two, so you can use one without the other as well as both together. The ability to set up this kind of assignment will be limited to a new role that is being created called ‘Module Administrator’. This is a role that has to be requested from the TEL Team, and is intended to be used by a limited number of people. CHANGE We’ll take a look at anonymous grading first CHANGE On the Create Assignment page, you can choose to hide student names when viewing and grading submissions. Students are alerted to the anonymous grading setting on the Upload Assignment page. However, in your assignment instructions, you can additionally ask students not to include any information that identifies them, such as adding their names to files they attach to assignments. In the Grading Options section, select the Enable Anonymous Grading check box and choose when you want to automatically remove students' anonymity: On specific date: Provide the date you want to disable anonymous grading. The system will automatically begin removing anonymity before the end of that date. After all submissions are graded: Provide a due date. After students submit attempts, the due date passes, and you have graded the attempts, student anonymity is disabled. You can manually disable anonymous grading at any time by clearing the Enable Anonymous Grading check box. You can turn anonymous grading on and off until a student submits an attempt. After the first submission, you can only turn it off. If you grade half of the attempts anonymously, then turn off the anonymous setting, the items graded with revealed names will not be tracked as "Graded Anonymously." CHANGE As the grade centre in anonymised (arrow), you can't click on a submisison against a students name, so you access the submisisons either: A. From the Grade Center: After the assignment due date has passed or all attempts have been submitted, access the assignment's column and click Grade Attempts. For columns where you enabled anonymous grading, all cells are grayed out so that you don't know who made submissions. B. From the Needs Grading page: Filter the items that need grading to show only the assignment you want to grade. In the User Attempt column, all identifying information is replaced with "Anonymous Student" and an attempt ID. From an assignment's contextual menu, click Grade All Users to begin grading. Both access options take you to the Grade Assignment page where you view submissions and grade inline as you normally do. As you navigate from student to student, usernames are replaced with "Anonymous Student" on the action bar CHANGE You can verify anonymous grading was enabled at the time you gave the grade. Even after anonymity is disabled, administrators and instructors can view the attempt on the inline grading screen or in the Grade Center history to see that the attempt was graded anonymously CHANGE On the Review Submission History page or in My Grades, students see a graded anonymously icon if their assignments were graded anonymously.
- Delegated marking You can assign specific users in your course to grade particular sets of student assignment submissions. The users who help you grade are called delegated graders and they provide provisional grades. Delegated graders follow the same grading steps that you do, however, the group of assignment attempts that they see are based on the options you choose. After all delegated graders provide grades and feedback, one or more instructors review the grading to determine a final grade or reconcile it. CHANGE In Grading Options in the assignment options, after you select the check box for Enable Delegated Grading, you can view a list of potential graders. Use the Show drop-down list to filter the list. A. Use the drop-down list next to each grader's name to assign submissions to grade: All Submissions Random Set: Grade a random set of the selected number of students. If multiple graders are assigned to grade a random set, students are distributed evenly before any student is included in multiple random sets. Groups: Grade all students who are part of the selected course groups. None B. All module administrators in a course can see what other graders assigned. If you want other roles to also view scores, feedback, and notes added by others, select the check box in the View Settings column. C. In the Reconcile Grades column, view who can determine the final grade and feedback for each student. All instructors can reconcile grades. You access the assignments as before. CHANGE Each module administrator has the ability to view what other graders provided for scores, feedback, and notes. Other graders do not see this information unless enabled. After you provide a grade, the Needs Reconciliation icon appears in the Grade Center cell. No score appears until the module administrator role reconciles the grade. CHANGE The module administrator role selects Reconcile Grades from the grade column's contextual menu. Other grader roles who have graded attempts see the Needs Reconciliation icon in the Grade Center, but do not have access to the Reconcile Grades page. CHANGE On the Reconcile Grades page, the module administrator role can view all the grades that all graders assigned and see who has grading to perform. For large classes, filter the list by status and grader. Scores that appear with a comment icon have feedback. On this page, you accept the grades set by another -OR- review grades assigned by multiple graders and set the final grades. A. Show Grader Progress: Click to view the progress of all graders, what the grader assigned for the average grade for the assignment, and the number of attempts. B. Show Detail View: Click the icon to view existing grades, feedback, and view a rubric if one has been associated. From this view, you can hide all the graders' feedback, add new feedback, and determine the final grade. C. Add Grader: Click the icon to open a pop-up window to add one or more graders for this student. D. Determine Final Grade: Use the drop-down lists to assign a final grade for each student. Or, use the Final Grade drop-down list in the column header to reconcile grades in bulk for highest, lowest, or average of the graders' CHANGE After you reconcile grades, the Needs Reconciliation icons are replaced with the scores you assigned. You can view the scores and feedback each grader assigned on the student's Grade Details page in the Grade History tab. Students see their reconciled scores and feedback in My Grades. When reconciling grades, instructors have the option to not show delegated graders' feedback to students and provide their own.
- Portfolio tool has been significantly improved. It can now actually create usable portfolios CHANGE The My Portfolios page is the launching point for viewing, creating, and reviewing portfolios. Access the My Portfolios page from the global navigation menu at the top right of the page. The My Portfolios page includes a search function to locate specific portfolios. You can search by username (the portfolio owner), title, description, and learning objectives. The resulting list includes information about the portfolio type, availability, and links to comments and portfolio settings. The search returns only the portfolios that you have permissions to view. CHANGE Building a portfolio is very straightforward. A portfolio consists of pages and sections. Use a page to provide structure to the portfolio. Each page must have at least one section. Use a section to provide structure to the page's content. The menu on the left shows all of the portfolio's pages and sections, which you can use to manage them. Use the drag-and-drop function to rearrange pages and sections in the menu. During authoring, use the menu to move among pages to edit them. CHANGE Portfolios can also be used as an assignment submission. When the assignment is set up, use the assignment type option to set this up. CHANGE The end result is a much more usable portfolio than was possible before. that can be shared with others, both at your institution and outside. Each time you share a portfolio with other users, you create a static snapshot of that portfolio at that point in time. What is shared is that static snapshot. If you make edits that you want to share, you need to share the portfolio again. CHANGE The Comments page includes columns displaying the date posted, the author who posted the comment, and the comment text. You view, add, and delete comments on this page. Only the author of a comment can delete it.

- Enterprise surveys collect feedback from specific groups of people. Survey recipients are selected based on their role in the system, their enrolment in courses, or their membership in a department. CHANGE Question types available in enterprise surveys include Likert scale, matrix, multiple choice, either/or, and open entry questions. You can add instructions, section breaks, and page breaks, as well as brand your survey with a customized header and footer. CHANGE After the recipients have responded to the survey, you can look at individual responses or analyse the results to view an aggregation of the responses. Analysing the results generates a report that can summarize each response period individually or show results parsed by the criteria you selected
- The TELHub is a new resource to bring together all the information, ideas, and resources to help you make the most of technology enhanced learning. The TEL Team have created this hub to both provide content and links to other quality resources from round the world. It will be constantly updated, to make it the most informative and useful resource for anyone looking to do more with their TEL activities.
