Overview

Background

The schools of Art, Design and ESALA within ECA grade their student work against learning outcomes.  The only way to do this is within Learn using the rubric tool (for either Learn assignment boxes or Turnitin assignment boxes). However, Learn aggregates these scores to a single grade and it is this single grade which is returned to the relevant column in the Grade Centre.

Exam Boards require only the single level grade/mark for each assignment; but for the purpose of internal examination and moderation graders and others involved in assessment require both the single grade/mark per assignment as well as the rubric level grades/marks for each learning outcome that is assessed (typically 3 but can be up to 5).

Scope

The new APT exam board functionality in EUCLID needs to map to the outputs from Learn i.e. moved from Learn to APT with no additional, or very minimal, manipulation of data/additional administration. Only the single level grade/mark is required in APT but the rubric level information needs to be readily available to support assessment.

Objectives

To provide the platform for staff and students to review Learning Outcomes associated with a Learn assignment that utilises a rubric

Deliverables

To develop new building blocks within Learn to enable rubric-level learning outcomes to be:

- viewed by students

- viewed by tutors

- to provide an export function to enable course secretaries to output Rubric grades by either assignment or course into APT.

Benefits

Reducing risk error in the reporting of student grades and drastically reduce both academic and administrative duplication of effort. 

Being able to extract rubric-level grades within Learn would mean only one (golden) copy of data would be required.

To Significantly Improve the student experience in viewing assignment results by enabling meaningful presentation of grade information.

Success Criteria

Inplementation of the new Learn building blocks
