Moodle Blue Card for lecturers

By Anonymous
Here at Oxford Brookes, we have a Blue Card scheme enabling students with specific learning difficulties (SpLDs) to flag their work with a blue card, so the tutor will mark it with due consideration.

There are two ways of submitting a Moodle assignment that might be required to be assessed differently if a student has a specific learning difficulty: the Turnitin assignment, and the Moodle assignment.

Here's what the JavaScript blue card functionality will look like in Moodle to a lecturer.

Please note this is a proof of concept and is not yet available in live Moodle.

We run a Moodle query in the background to check whether the student is entitled to a blue card, and only display the blue card button to them if they are entitled to use it.

When the lecturer opens the submissions to a Moodle or Turnitin assignment, the ones who have added a blue card will be highlighted.

  5. Use the scroll bar to scroll to the right and see the comment. Click on 'Comments' to view the comment(s):



  6. If the student has asked for their work to be assessed using the blue card scheme, it will look like this (highlighted blue, with a link to the marking guidelines for lecturers):

The pilot phase of the Brookes ID project was announced in the latest issue of Onstream , the staff magazine of Oxford Brookes University: Brookes ID (Individual Development) is an inclusive co-curricular framework which has been created with students and is a PESE (Programme to enhance the Student Experience) project. It recognises and rewards student engagement and commitment beyond their programme of study and is aligned to the Brookes Guiding Principles. As part of the Brookes ID initiative a new app has been launched which will run this semester as a pilot, leading up to the official launch of Brookes ID expected in September 2017.

It monitors the extra and co-curricular activities of students and rewards them with ‘achievements’. Initially the number of activiti...

Agile methodology in the wild

Agile methodologies like Scrum sound amazingly efficient when presented by people who have implemented them in a non-hostile environment. But conditions are not always perfect, and things can sometimes go wrong. One of the key features of agile project methodologies is that they have different types of meetings . Each different type of meeting has a very specific function. They can become tedious and unproductive if they deviate from the prescribed form and function. With that in mind, let's look at the different types of meeting, how they are meant to work, and what can go wrong.
