Introduction

This is the overview page for the phase 2 pilot of the Moodle/SITS mark transfer integration. This pilot will be testing the new Moodle Assessment Wizard (MAW) marks Transfer functionality that was developed following the phase 1 pilot. This wizard, will provide a more streamlined experience for end users, putting the core assessment component information at the centre of the tool, that can then be mapped to a selection of Moodle assessments. 

Pilot Phase 2 will be the last pilot phase before an initial MVP (Minimal Viable Product) release into UCL Moodle Production, which we hope will be deployed in late March 2024.

Objectives of Phase 2 Pilot

1. To test the new version of the Moodle/SITS marks transfer integration using the newly designed MVP of the Moodle Assessment Wizard
2. To collect feedback on the Wizard to:-
   1. Improve the interface and workflow for a general UCL wide release in late March 2023
   2. To collect feedback and prioritise next step improvements and developments post March launch

Duration of Pilot

The pilot will be active from available from the 8th of January 2023 until Monday the 26th of February

Limitations of Phase 2 Pilot

A Moodle-Portico Marks Transfer integration has been designed to improve the process for transferring marks from Moodle to Portico. This is now available on UCL Moodle. 

This page outlines when you can and cannot use marks transfer and how the tool will be developed next.

When can I use Mark Transfer? 

You can currently will be able to use Mark Push in Moodle Transfer if the following conditions are met:

1. You have used the are enrolled as a Category Administrator, Course Administrator, Course Leader, (Editing) Tutor or FLTL.
2. A Portico enrolment block has been used to create a mapping with a Module Delivery to your Moodle course.
3. Either of the following assessment scenarios is true:-
   1. Only one Moodle assessment activity is being linked to one assessment component in SITSPortico.
   2. Only one Moodle assessment activity is being linked to multiple assessment components in SITS.
   The Marks to be Pushed are part of a course with a mapping to a module delivery (where students are enrolled and assessment takes place)
   1. Portico.
4. An assessment component exists in SITS Portico to map against.
5. The Moodle assessment Marks marks are numerical 0-100. Please ensure they don't include the % symbol and are set to display as Default (Real) in the Grade Book.
6. The assessment component in SITS Portico is compatible with SITS Marking Schemesmarking schemes and SITS Assessment Typesassessment types.
7. For Exam Assessmentsexam assessments, the SITS Portico assessment component is the exam room code EXAMMDLE. 

What assessments and activities am I able to use

...

?

The following summative assessment activities are eligible for marks transfer:

• Moodle Assignment
• Moodle Quiz (please ensure the quiz mark is out of 100 in the Grade Book)
• Turnitin Assignment (NOT multipart)

New!

You can now also transfer marks for a:

• Grade item (This is for an item you have added manually to the Grade Book. Please ensure the Grade type is set to "value" and the maximum value is 100).
• Grade category (This means that if you have set up a Category in the Grade Book which has its own aggregated grade calculated from its Grade Items, you can also transfer this grade to one or more than one assessment component in Portico. As before, the Grade type needs to be set to "value" and the maximum value must be 100).

When can't I use Marks Transfer?

You can't use Mark Push Transfer in Moodle if:

• The administrator has not checked the Marks they wish to Push.
• You are not participating in the trial and do not have editing access on the relevant Moodle course(s).
• The Marks to be Pushed marks to be transferred are part of a course without a mapping to a module delivery (students are not enrolled and/or no assessments take place).
• An assessment component does not exist in SITS Portico to map against.
• The Marks are for a formative assessment activity.The Moodle activity type is a Workshop, LTI, Moodle Markbook or multi-part Turnitin assignment.
• You wish to Push Marks transfer marks from a scale e.g. A-F.
• You want to map one Moodle activity to multiple assessment components for different module deliveries.
You are administering Marks for more complex, non-standard subjects such as medicine
• .
• There are Marks marks already in SITSPortico (you can't cannot overwrite Marks marks in SITS Portico from Moodle).
• The assessment component in SITS Portico is not compatible with SITS Marking Schemes and SITS Assessment Types
• The exam room code is not EXAMMDLE in SITS Portico for exam assessments.The
• assessment is a re-assessment or is late (please see FAQs for how to update Portico directlyYou are administering SoRAs or ECs (this functionality is on our list for development).

What will Marks Transfer do in the future?

We will continue to improve the marks transfer integration by adding further marking scenarios and functionality.

Next priorities for development include:

• Special cases: SORAs and ECs
• Turnitin multipart assignments (if possible)
• Moodle Lessons
• External LTIs
• Plugins such as H5P
