A module with more than one assessment.
Assessments in one module share a brief, a request document and anonymisation rules, so you set them up once.
19. A module with more than one assessment
A module groups its assessments, so what they share is set up once. It is a folder in the workspaces folder, and each assessment is a marking or a moderation of its own, in a folder inside it, with its own rubric, sample, downloads and record. A workspace made on its own is a module of one: nothing about it changes.
- Press New moderation (or New marking) and name it for the assessment, such as Report. Under Part of a module, choose A new module…, name the module, such as the module and year, and decide now whether to Share one pseudonym key across the module's assessments; you cannot change it later. With a shared key, a student is the same pseudonym in every assessment, which lets the module follow them throughout; it also means the AI could tell that work in different assessments is one student's, and one private file links the real people for the whole module. Leave it off unless you need it. The module is made with its first assessment, which opens.
- For each further assessment (for example Case study), press New moderation (or New marking) again and choose the module under Part of a module; or, on the module's page, Add an assessment. Home lists a module with its assessments under Modules; Open the module opens its page. The Moderation and Marking pages list a module's assessments of that kind under the module's name.
- The module's page opens on Assessments, with how far each has got; the rest is by name above it: Shared settings, Request document, Brief and Module marks. Under Request document, choose the request document and press Read the document, check what it found, and press Keep this cohort in the module. The module keeps each assessment's marks and weighting, and which rows are one student, but no name and no ID. The programme and module it gives become The module's context, which each assessment's request starts from; you can change them.
- Under Brief, import the brief once, whole. Each assessment starts with it: it is taken from the module when the assessment is opened, without importing it again (an assessment that already has a brief is left as it is). On Brief in the assessment, choose the part that applies to it: where one heading names the assessment, it is suggested, and you press one button to use it (tick the module-wide parts too, if they apply). Only the part you choose is anonymised, approved and sent. If you replace the module's brief, each assessment says it no longer has the current one, and you can take it again (which clears that assessment's section and approval); importing a different brief into an assessment is still possible.
- The anonymisation rules are the module's: a name or value you ask to be redacted in one assessment is redacted in every one, and each assessment then anonymises again. Only the sampled students' names and IDs are kept, in a key, as always.
- In each assessment, record its request as in step 5. Under From the module's request document, the step says what it uses from the module without reading the document again (this assessment's students' marks and weighting, the bands, the programme and module), and fills in the programme, module, cohort size and bands from it for you to check. The module keeps no name or ID, so the document is read again only to tick this assessment's sample: read the same document as the module's, which Feedbacker checks by its hash, and says if it is another.
- Module marks, on the module's page, lists every student the request names, with each assessment's marks (the original marker's, the internal moderator's and yours, in that order) and the module mark at each of those three levels. A module mark is each assessment's mark weighted by what it is worth in the request, and is worked out only for a student with a mark in every assessment at that level. So the first two are filled for everyone who submitted everything, and yours only for those you have marked in every assessment. These figures are for you to read; they are never marks given.
- Delete this module… deletes the module's folder and every assessment in it, with the same confirmations as one workspace: the exports are listed, you tick that you have kept what you need, and you type the module's name.
