Grade Centre
Are you making the most of Grade Centre?
Grade Centre can be used to efficiently record assessment results and calculate final grades. By eliminating or limiting the use of spreadsheets, you can also improve the management and security of your grades.
View Grade Centre by tutorial, seminar, and practical groups
Smart Views allow you to easily filter your Grade Centre to speed up the entry of marks and the checking of student submissions. This video shows you how to use Smart Views for your contact, tutorial, practical or seminar groups (YouTube, 2m 19s).
Consultations with an eLearning Adviser
The eLearning Systems and Support team offer eLearning Adviser Consultations to assist course teaching and administrative staff with implementing effective eLearning solutions. Our experienced advisers will guide you in utilising centrally supported eLearning tools.
How well do you know your cohort?
Course Insights, UQ's own course-level learning analytics dashboard, is available to all Course Coordinators via Learn.UQ. The Enrolment section provides demographic information to inform teaching strategies.
Course Coordinators can also access student headshots through my.UQ to familiarise themselves with student faces prior to classes.
UQ Systems - Digital Essentials module
The UQ Systems module (within the Digital Essentials series) introduces students to Learn.UQ, SI-net, email, BookIt, Echo360, Turnitin, PaperCut, StudentHub and ePortfolio. It is designed to be embedded into courses so students can find the information they need, when they need it.
