Unit coordinator perspective
The unit coordinator saw the benefits of using assessment@yourfingertips as about "developing the team's understanding of what they were looking for". She thought the moderation process was much easier. Previously she had found assessment to be a very laborious process, especially the collation of marks from a range of tutors.
"Being able to look at the spread of marks, having that information all in one place, was hugely different for me."
Other positives the coordinator noted were that a good rubric actually reduces the number of comments that you need to write; no students questioned their marks; and students could be tracked over units. By analyzing the sub-marks, you could track, for example students "not using any literature". That could not have been done, easily, before. She also claimed that:
"The peer marking gives the students experience in assessing as well as using the technology, demonstrating how technology can help to do this more efficiently, which will be helpful for their future teaching."
Problems that surfaced for the coordinator included the fact that she still felt very dependent on the ICT researcher. Training was an issue for everyone because tutors also need to be trained to use the program. Support was needed to load the program onto the tutors' laptops and retrieve the data from them for the unit coordinator's computer. The coordinator had to be trained to embed the specific rubric into the tool. These tasks all take practice. Another challenge she noted was keeping track of which was the "latest version" of the assignment rubric, with so much refining being carried out.
