Type your page title here Type slide contents here in grey, 18pt Arial – try not to over-fill slide: bullet points with blue bullets always allow a line space between each point bullet points with blue bullets I can see pros and cons. I think it would streamline hand-in, administrative processing and return of coursework, but it might be clunky in terms of providing feedback Improved quality of feedback (both in terms of detail and promptness). Speed of processing (administratively) coursework....can't be done without a computer... Markers wanting administrators to print. I wont use it! Feedback: What Have We Done?
Challenges: Technical issues Change management Move to online marking Staff perceptions Communication –underestimated the support needed What Have We Done?
