Some students felt that the use\u00a0 of Turnitin separates students who try to write and reference correctly and those who do not.<\/p>\n<p>Simon noted that students still had problems interpreting originality reports. He noted that Oxford Brookes have created some good videos which may be of use \u2013 noted that these are currently being updated at <a href=\"https:\/\/mw.brookes.ac.uk\/display\/ce6\/Turnitin+help\">https:\/\/mw.brookes.ac.uk\/display\/ce6\/Turnitin+help<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that most student information comes from the tutors rather than any central guidance. This shows the importance of tutors having correct and up to date knowledge of the tools.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Case Study 2 &#8211; <\/strong><strong>Implementing Grademark &#8211; Lessons from Cardiff University &#8211; Nathan Roberts and Judy Cousins<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cardiff have about 50,000 papers submitted per year<\/p>\n<p>Grademark is being used to address NSS scores at Cardiff (Assessment Matters project)<\/p>\n<p>The project has shown \u00a0how a technologist and an academic working together can achieve more than either alone.<\/p>\n<p>They had to provide many training sessions for the assessors on Grademark \u2013 these worked best when the actual assessment was due. If the training was done too early then information was not retained. It was noted that the technologist role was crucial at this point.<\/p>\n<p>Each school developed their own rubrics within Grademark \u2013 these were checked through the quality committees.<\/p>\n<p>It was found that students liked Grademark &#8211; finding it equitable and clear<\/p>\n<p>Cardiff had technical problems with Internet Explorer \/ Grademark \u2013 they advised staff to use firefox !!<\/p>\n<p>Students liked the annotation facility &#8211; \u00a0however they did not like comments such as good\/bad without further feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Assessors were all very positive about grademark \u2013 it was noted that this could save up to 30% in time with better feedback. Some technical problems slowed this down E.g. NHS assessor had problems access the Grademark tool.<\/p>\n<p>The team noted that modertation and second marking is a problem &#8211; they do not have a solution yet. It was also noted that assessors wanted a spell check facility.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the reservations listed above it was stressed that Grademark generally works well and was valued by staff and students.<\/p>\n<p>Rob Howe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The day was split into two main parts \u2013 an update on the roadmap and two case studies from Turnitin users:<\/p>\n<p>Roadmap<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>December 2011 \u2013 Blackboard Direct to be released.
