IMPORTANT: This guide is currently being revised to cover the version of REVIEW implemented on Sunday the 26th of November 2017.

Information on the upgrade can be found on the upgrade summary page.

Guide for Subject Coordinators and Lecturers.

Note: Important information not found in this guide may be in the REVIEW FAQ.

What is REVIEW? *

REVIEW is a criteria-based online marking system. REVIEW allows teaching staff to easily assess student work against a set of pre-defined criteria, all of which are linked to Graduate Attributes (GAs) and Course Intended Learning Outcomes (CILOs). In the Business School a CILO is known as a Program Learning Goal (PLG).

Some of the main benefits of using REVIEW for teaching staff are:

• Paperless marking and return of feedback to students
• Coordinators can monitor the progress of marking and feedback across all tutorials in a subject
• Instant access to feedback from the moment the publish button is clicked (with or without marks)
• Automatic calculation of final marks/grades for a subject if all assessment tasks are marked in REVIEW (or marks are uploaded via spreadsheet)
• Export of marks and comments for all tasks with weighted total for the Subject
• Import of marks from quizzes and exams to link to Course Intended Learning Outcomes
• Individualised reports on a student’s progress over a degree for both students and staff

System requirements and access details *

REVIEW is a web-based application that runs on any of the UTS supported browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) on Windows and Mac OSX based computers. Full details on supported versions can be found on the UTSOnline Supported Operating Systems and Browsers page.

Thought not officially supported, REVIEW can also be used on Android tablets and smartphones by both staff and students (Chrome recommended). It can also be used on iPads (Safari recommended).

Staff and students can access REVIEW at https://uts.review-edu.com/uts

Staff and students should use their UTS Webmail username and password to access REVIEW.

 

Adding a link to REVIEW in a UTSOnline Subject *

Subject Coordinators should create a link to REVIEW in their UTSOnline subject. To add a link to REVIEW, complete the following 8 steps from within your Subject in UTSOnline:

Creating a link: Steps 1-6

1.Click on the plus button in the left menu for your subject

2.Select the Web Link option

3.Enter REVIEW in the name field

4.Enter the hyperlink to REVIEW in the URL field: https://uts.review-edu.com/uts

5.Check the Available to Users check box to allow students access to the link

6.Click Submit

NB: If the Submit button is greyed out make sure that the URL does not end in a slash.

Opening REVIEW in a new window: Steps 7 & 8 *

7.       In the subject menu, click on the downward pointing chevron

8.       Select the Set Link to Open in a New Window option

 

REVIEW will now open in a separate browser window or tab whenever this link is clicked.

 

Logging in/welcome screen overview *

After logging into REVIEW you will be presented with a list of subjects that you are teaching during that calendar year. Figure 6 shows a welcome screen for a staff member who is coordinating one subject in 2016. If the subjects you are coordinating are not listed please contact your faculty academic programs office

To work on a subject in the current year choose a subject from either list (A) or (B). To find a subject from a previous year and/or semester select the year (C) and Semester (D) options. This will update lists (A) and (B) and allow you to access subjects taught at that time.

To see a summary of the assessment tasks for a subject select the Details drop down (1). To check the contact information for your REVIEW account, select the Details button located next your name and Faculty (2).

Once a subject has been selected you will be provided with a range of tabs that allow you to manage the subject in REVIEW. These functions include:

1.       Home: Returns you to this screen

2.       Staff Roles: Used to add/remove staff from the current subject. Staff roles may also be changed within the subject (e.g. from Tutor to Subject Coordinator and vice versa)

3.       Task Setup: Used to create/modify Assessment Tasks. Assessment Criteria may also be created/modified/deleted

4.       Class Editor: Used to create Class groups (e.g. tutorials, labs) and Teams (used for group assessment work)

5.       Marking: Used to mark individual and team assessment tasks

6.       Publish: Used to Publish results to students and to “un-publish” previously Published marks. Also used to notify students that results are available
7.       Student Results: Used to check individual student results measured against Graduate Attributes. For individual task and overall subject results see 8.
8.       Reports: Used to access/export data on single task results, overall subject results, staff averages etc.

Allocating staff to subjects and assigning roles *

The Staff Roles tab allows a Subject Coordinator to add or remove staff from the subject. The Subject Coordinator may also change the role of a staff member in the subject (e.g. from Tutor to Subject Coordinator and vice versa).

Adding a staff member to a subject *

To add a staff member to a subject:

1. Type their name or staff number in the search box as shown below:

2. When the correct staff member’s name/staff ID is displayed click on their name to add them to the subject. The staff member will be automatically assigned to the Tutor role (see Figure 10 below). If more staff members need to be added repeat the process until all required staff members have been added.

3. Click  to complete adding the staff member to the subject

Note: Only staff members with a standard UTS Staff ID are able to use REVIEW. Staff members with temporary Staff IDs that begin with a lower case letter (e.g. m654321) are not currently able to use REVIEW.

Note: The faculty listed next to the user has no effect on the user’s ability to perform the selected role (i.e. Tutors can still mark work in a faculty different to that allocated to them on this screen).

Changing a staff member’s role in a subject *

To change a staff member’s role in a subject:

1. Select the check box next to the relevant staff member’s name:

2. Choose the appropriate Role from the drop down menu
3. Click  to complete changing the staff member’s role in the subject. A short message confirming that the staff member has been added will be displayed

 

Removing a staff member from a subject *

To remove a staff member from a subject:

1. Select the check box next to the relevant staff member’s name:

2. Click . A confirmation message confirming the staff member’s removal will be briefly displayed.

Creating assessment tasks and configuring assessment task options *

The following section provides information on how to configure assessment tasks. Information on Assurance of Learning (AOL) tasks is provided in a separate supplement. At UTS only the Business School currently uses AOL.

Assessment tasks are created from within the Task Setup tab shown in Figure 13 below:

Within the Task Setup tab Subject Coordinators may:

1. Create new assessment tasks
2. Clone assessment tasks from other subjects (provided you are a Subject Coordinator in both subjects)
3. Send notifications about the subject
4. View notifications that have previously been sent

 

Note: The presence of an asterisk (*) indicates a mandatory field.
To create a new assessment task click . The following options will be displayed:

1. Task Name*: The name of the task as displayed when marking and in the student’s published results. This should be the same as the name of the task displayed in the Subject Outline. If desired, add a prefix to the task name to indicate the order in which assignments are to be submitted (e.g. “A1 Essay Proposal”, “A2 Essay” etc.)

2. Weight*: The amount that the task contributes to the overall mark for the subject

3. Task Criterion*: The method used to weight criteria. Manual weighting requires

the subject coordinator to assign a weight to each criteria (e.g. 30+30+30+10=100) whereas Automatic weighting automatically weights all the criteria equally (e.g. 4×25 = 100)

4. Slider*: The slider used when grading student work for that task. The number and range of sliders is determined by your Faculty Administrator. The most commonly used slider is the standard or uni-proportional marking slider. This slider does not support the display of marks to students:

The exact (or proportional) marking slider is the only marking slider that supports the display of marks to students. However marks will only be displayed to students if the Show mark to student option is checked (see 8. Below)

5. Status*: ACTIVE or INACTIVE. ACTIVE tasks are visible to staff and students and can be marked, have their results published etc. INACTIVE tasks may be edited but are not visible to staff or students even when marking has commenced or marks have been published

6. AOL: AOL should only be ticked if a task is being used for Assurance of Learning in the UTS Business School

7. Combined: Failing the aggregated mark of combined tasks results in failing this subject

8. Show mark to student: Shows students a mark in addition to a grade. Turned off by default. Only works with the exact or proportional slider (see 4. above)

9. Anonymous marking: Displays a student ID instead of a name in the marking screen

10. Hurdle assessment: This should only be checked if passing the task is required to pass the subject. Students who fail a hurdle task will have a fail registered for their subject mark irrespective of the other marks gained in the subject

11. Hide from students: When selected this task will not be visible to students. WARNING: If left selected this option may prevent students from viewing published results

12. Self-assess by student: Allows a student to grade their own work using the same criteria as teaching staff. Recommended as this encourages students to reflect on the criteria used and think more critically about their own work

13. Due Date: The date on which students must submit their work for assessment. Has no effect on the display or release of results. For information only.

Creating assessment criteria *

Setting up an Assessment Criteria requires the Subject Coordinator to link a CILO or PLG to each Assessment Criteria. Fields marked with asterisk (*) are mandatory.

Creating criteria and linking criteria to CILOS *

To add Assessment Criteria to an Assessment Task:

1. Click on the Setup option in the criteria column as shown below:

2. Click to create a new criteria:

The Add Task Criterion screen will be displayed:

3. CILOs or PLGs for the relevant course/subject will have been pre-loaded by a Faculty or University administrator. Select a CILO from the Course Intended Learning Outcome drop down menu*:

4. Select an option from the Subject Learning Objective (SLO) list*. In most cases SLOs or PLOs are not required and will not have been entered into REVIEW by your Faculty Administrator (if required please contact your Faculty Administrator).

 

If no Subject Learning Objective is required choose No Subject Learning Objective from the drop-down list. REVIEW only requires an SLO/PLO for AOL.

 

If AOL is required, please follow the instructions outlined in the AOL supplement and skip to the Creating a criteria comment library section.

 

5. If No Subject Learning Objective has been selected then select the Non-AOL radio button as shown above. Note: The Task Criterion Vault is only used for AOL tasks.

 

6. Once CILO and SLO choices have been made the Task Criterion name field will appear. Enter the name of an Assessment Criteria in this field*
7. If desired, enter a Task Criterion Description
8. If manual weighting was selected during Assessment Task setup enter a value in the Weight* field. If automatic weighting was selected this field will not appear
9. Click* to finish creating the Assessment Criteria
10. If more Assessment Criteria are required click and repeat the steps listed above. If a rubric or criteria comments are required see the following two sections: Creating a rubric and/or Creating a criteria comment library

 

Adding Criteria comments *

Once a criterion has been created a set of Criteria comments may be added. In the current version criteria comments may only be added to the library before marking has commenced. A future version will allow criteria comments to be managed from within the marking screen.

To add a criteria comment:

1. Type or paste the comment into the Comment Library field
2. Click Add/Update in Library to add the comment to the list

 

Further documentation on this feature will be added when it has been relocated to the marking screen.

 

Creating a rubric *

To create a rubric for an Assessment Criteria click on the button from with an Assessment Criteria. The following fields will be displayed:

Enter a description for each grade in the related rubric field and click (1) to confirm the values. The descriptions will be displayed against the sliders on the staff marking screen, student self-assessment screen and student results screens.

Cloning an Assessment Task *

REVIEW allows a subject coordinator to copy an Assessment Tasks from one subject to another. Assessment Tasks may be copied from any semester or subject that the Subject Coordinator has access to. To clone an Assessment Task, click on the button in the Task Setup tab and follow steps listed below:

1. Enter part of the subject name or code in the search box, and then select the relevant subject to copy from. If the subject does not display when the correct keyword/number is entered then you do not have access to that subject. Please contact your Faculty Administrator to arrange access

2. A list of tasks available to be copied will be shown in the left hand column. To copy a subject select the relevant assessment task and click on the  button. To select more than one task to copy at a time hold down ether the Control key (on Windows) or Command key (on Mac) and click on all of the Assessment Tasks you wish to copy

3. Click on the button to complete copying the Assessment Task(s)

The task(s) will now appear in the list of Assessment Tasks for the subject they have been copied to. IMPORTANT: By default any copied Assessment task will have been marked as Inactive. The date and time the assessment task(s) were copied will have been added to the end of the name for that assessment task

4. To resolve these issues, edit the assessment task details to set the task to Active and change the task name if required

 

Using Classes and Teams *

REVIEW supports grouping students by both Class and Team.

Classes are used to sort students for marking, publishing results and reporting.

Teams are used for marking Team assessments. In Team assessments all students in the team receive the same grade and feedback by default (though results can be modified for individuals if required).

Both Class and Team allocation functions are located under the Class Editor tab.

The active function (i.e. Class allocation or Team allocation) is indicated by:

1. The text in the centre of the screen
2. Not being able to select that function (i.e. in Figure 24 the Introduction to Crime Writing option is greyed out).

Student Results *

The Student Results tab provides information on student progress against Course Intended Learning Outcomes and Graduate Attributes. Information on marks and grades can be found on the Reports Tab. The Student Results tab is currently under review. Information will be provided in a future version of this manual.

Reports (including marks/grades export) *

The Reports tab allows teaching staff to immediately view:

• How many students have had their work marked or marked and published
• The grade for each student per individual assessment task
• The final grade for each student in a subject (if available)

IMPORTANT: To see the overall results for a subject set the Task setting to -all (see Figure 69 below).

The most commonly produced reports are:

• Subject results – shows the total mark and grade for the subject, plus the mark and grade per student for each assessment task
• Task results – the mark and grade per student for an individual assessment task plus staff and student comments. Information on penalties applied (if any) is also included
• Staff average – the average total mark and grade per marker for an individual assessment task, plus the average mark and grade for each criterion

IMPORTANT: The final grade for a student is not calculated until all of their assessment tasks have been marked AND published. If a student does not submit a task they should be given a zero mark and the result published. If a marker has a large number of non-submissions this will have an effect on their average mark for that assessment task.

HINT: If a student does not have a final grade but grades show for each individual assessment task then please check that the result for each task has been published.

HINT: If you are using REVIEW to enter results that will never be Published to students (e.g. for a final exam) then use the “Hide from students option” during task setup. Selecting this option hides the results from students even when they have been published.

Staff may also produce reports on:

• Mark history – provides all marks (per criterion and total) for any student whose assessment task has been marked more than once
• Criteria marks – the marks and grades per criterion, plus the total mark and grade for a task
• Criteria comments – as per the criteria marks report, plus the comments on each criteria

HINT: The criteria marks report also contains information on whether students have viewed their results, how many times they have viewed their results and how long for.
