Enhanced discussion board
Are you planning to use a third-party online discussion board (not Blackboard) in your teaching/class? We are interested to know what tools you are using or plan to use, and what important features you would like in an online discussion board.
Accessibility
New resources are available to assist staff in making content more accessible to all students, including those with a disability. Many of our centrally-supported eLearning systems and tools already improve accessibility through their design and functionality.
eProfessionalism - Digital Essentials module
The eProfessionalism module (part of Digital Essentials) contributes to give students the knowledge and skills they need to succeed post-graduation. It is designed to be embedded into courses.
Withdrawn students reinstatement tool
We are seeking volunteers to test a new tool that makes it easier to temporarily reinstate withdrawn students for administrative purposes.

Identifying academic misconduct
Maintaining the integrity of assessment at UQ relies on staff involved in marking to identify and report suspect submissions. We have developed a 2-page guide of what to look for when you are marking to help identify misconduct, including contract cheating.
Six tips for the end of Semester
Review these tips to help your end-of-semester assessment processing go smoothly.
Check the history of mark changes
Grade Centre logs a record of all changes made to marks during the semester. At the end of the semester, use the View Grade History tool to produce a report showing all changes and comments, to confirm validity and check for errors.
Order your Semester 2 site(s) now
This can be done by either:
1. Using the Site Request Form located under the 'Staff' tab in Learn.UQ. This form also allows staff to request a copy of content from a previous semester.
or
2. Publishing the Electronic Course Profile (ECP) for a blank course template to be created automatically within 48 hours. For content to be copied, request a 'copy' also located under the Staff tab.
See the Course requests guide >>
