- Anonymous marking: see below for a definition and explanation.
- Bulk-download: downloading the contents of a submission inbox for marking outside Turnitin.
- Combinations of blind/open, full/sampled second marking: refer to the UCL Marking Policy Currently draft*.
- External examining: refer to the UCL Marking Policy.
- Grademark: Turnitin's own marking environment.
- Intermediary: somebody without marking responsibilities, perhaps in an administrative or technical role.
- Markings: all notes, specific and general comments, and numeric marks made by markers.
- Moderating: refer to the UCL Marking Policy.
- Moodle Assignment: Moodle offers a separate online assessment environment. Its marking and feedback possibilities currently differ from Turnitin's. Only Turnitin offers an Originality Report, and Turnitin's suite of online annotation tools is slightly more developed.
- Paper ID: a numeric identifier unique to each paper, generated Turnitin, but currently irrelevant outside Turnitin.
- Post Date: point at which marks and feedback are released to students (at this point student anonymity is lifted, and bulk download of student submissions by staff becomes available).
- Proxy identifier: see below for a definition and explanation.
- Submission filename: the name of the file(s) submitted; this becomes important in cases where students' work is downloaded for marking outside Turnitin.
- Submission title: the title students type into Turnitin when submitting their work. This displays in the Turnitin inbox and can be used to allocate submissions to subject specialist markers.
- submit.ac.uk: allows access (where there are existing permissions) to a Turnitin submission inbox independently of Moodle; affords downloading of Grademarked work and - though only after the Post Date - original unmarked work.
- Window of opportunity: a phrase used in this guidance to refer to a period just after Grademarking (if used) is complete and just before the Post Date de-anonymises students. During this window the still-anonymous, Grademarked submissions, complete with markings, can be downloaded from submit.ac.uk for distribution to other markers outside Turnitin after the Post Date. The window of opportunity is negotiated by course leaders, markers and intermediaries.
...
ELE recommend that the Post Date is the same as a the date on which students have been told to expect feedback. If anonymous marking needs to happen after that, the original unmarked submissions can be downloaded by an intermediary, re-anonymised and sent to the marker. Students can be apprised that their mark is provisional, and Moodle's Turnitin Integration allows marks to be changed after the Post Date.
