1. Assessment Board Operations Caroline Wedley Student Data Services

2. Overview – Assessment Board Operations Curriculum designed around a well established model of modular programmes, with some limited exceptions (eg some non-modular professional programmes) Student assessments all tracked centrally (“SITS”) Assessment Board paperwork generated from a single source to one standard

3. Assessment data management All recording of attempts, referrals, deferrals etc fully integrated. Assessment marks are recorded by component (eg examination, assignment etc) Marks provided by completion of centrally provided mark sheets, either as electronic spreadsheets or completed by hand. Administrators key data into central system.

4. Board operation /1 Central production of Module pre-board / board paperwork via central database facility Board conducted with ‘Visualiser’ (camera-driven OHP) or electronically displayed (Wm Morgan room) Following Module board, marks are amended as necessary and coded as “agreed” Progression and award calculations run centrally

5. Board operation /2 Progression/Award Board paperwork production by programme administrators to a standard format via central database facility Progression/Award Boards take place: either paper- based (with ‘Visualiser’) or electronic display Post-board - Progressions and Awards confirmation undertaken centrally Transcripts and result letters produced by programme administrators.

17. Recent Improvements Mark sheets directly generated from central record: assists in identifying remaining incorrect module registrations Annual improvements to paperwork presentation, recording of marks, procedures, staff skills etc Focus on rule-based electronic processing (eg updates of progressions and award calculation) Experimenting with ‘browser-based’ mark input for distributed mark input (remote administrators etc) Further access for students to on-line results
