Grade Centre - Batch Feedback Giving Feedback for an Assignment in a Module with a Large Number of Enrolled Students Can Be a Time Consuming Task Staff Grade Centre - Batch Feedback Giving feedback for an assignment in a module with a large number of enrolled students can be a time consuming task. Normally this has to be done on an individual basis via the Grade Centre, because of this we have created the Batch Feedback tool. Using the Batch Feedback tool you are able to download all of the submissions made by your students for a particular assignment, create a file containing individual templates for you to enter feedback and once you have edited the feedback files, upload it all back to Blackboard along with grades. Downloading submitted work In order to use the Batch Feedback tool you should have already created an assignment in Blackboard and your students should have submitted their work to it. Instructions on how to do this are available in the Creating an Assignment recipe sheet. 1. Enter the module that contains the assignment you want to upload feedback for. 2. Expand the Evaluation section of the Control Panel which is below the menu and click Grade Centre - Batch Feedback. 3. In section 1, from the Select Assignment drop down menu choose the assignment you want to upload feedback for. 4. In section 3, under the area titled Create a zip file containing submitted work, choose Download all student submissions for this assignment. You will then be presented with a link titled Download Assignments, right click on this link and choose Save Target As (or your browsers equivalent). 5. Choose a place on your computer to save this file, the Desktop or My Documents for example. 6. Open the file by double clicking on it, depending on the software installed on your computer and the operating system you use the following may vary. These instructions are for a computer running Microsoft Windows XP or above using the in-built software to handle compressed files. 7. Click the link titled Extract all files, the Compressed (zipped) Folders Extraction Wizard will open, click Next, click Next again and click Finish. If you’re running an operating system other than Microsoft Windows or you have other software installed to handle compressed files please contact your helpdesk for more information. 8. You will then be presented with a list of all the files submitted by your students for the assignment you chose, open these as you normally would. Feedback files 1. Return to the Batch Feedback tool by following the instructions above, remember to choose the assignment you want to give feedback for from the Select Assignment drop down menu. 2. In section 3 under the heading Create a zip file containing blank (Microsoft Office) documents choose Download a zip file containing one Word Document (.doc) file for each student userid. You will then be presented with a link titled Download zip file, right click on this link and choose Save Target As (or your browsers equivalent). 3. Follow steps 5-7 on the previous page to extract the feedback files from the compressed file you just downloaded. You will then be presented with a list of empty Microsoft Word documents, one for each student, named in the following format: userid_lastname_firstname.doc Last Reviewed: September 2012 Page 2 4. Open each file, add the feedback you want to give to the student and save the file using the same filename. 5. Once you’ve done this for each student, open the folder that contains all the feedback files and select them all by clicking on the Edit menu and choosing Select All. 6. Once all the files are selected, right click on any of them, a menu will appear, choose Send To and then Compressed (zipped) Folder. 7. This will create a zip file in the folder that has all of your feedback files. The name of it will be the name of one of the files in the folder with .zip suffixed. Uploading feedback and entering grades 1. Return to the Batch Feedback tool by following the instructions on the first page, remember to choose the assignment you want to give feedback for from the Select Assignment drop down menu. 2. Go to section 4 , Upload Feedback. Click Browse and choose the zip file created in step 6 above. 3. Click Submit. 4. You will be taken to the Verify Feedback and Enter Grades page. 5. Tick the checkbox to the left of the Student No column, this will select all the students in the list and tell Blackboard you’re leaving feedback for them all. 6. Enter the mark in the Score column next to each student. 7. When you’re finished you can optionally send an email to the selected students informing them that their feedback and grades are available for the assignment. 8. Tick the Send Email box and enter a message to be shown to the students. 9. Click Submit. Notes The instructions given here assume you are using Microsoft Windows XP or above with no additional software installed for handling zip files, WinZip, PowerArchiver, WinRAR etc. Older versions of PowerArchiver can display a File is Read Only error message when opening some zip files, please contact your school helpdesk for an updated version. Zip files created with the in-built Create Archive function on Apple Mac computers are currently not compatible with the Batch Feedback tool.

    Comunicado 23 ISSN 1415-2118 Abril, 2007 Técnico Campinas, SP Armazenagem e transporte de arquivos extensos André Luiz dos Santos Furtado Fernando Antônio de Pádua Paim Resumo O crescimento no volume de informações transportadas por um mesmo indivíduo ou por uma equipe é uma tendência mundial e a cada dia somos confrontados com mídias de maior capacidade de armazenamento de dados. O objetivo desse comunicado é explorar algumas possibilidades destinadas a permitir a divisão e o transporte de arquivos de grande volume. Neste comunicado, tutoriais para o Winrar, 7-zip, ALZip, programas destinados a compactação de arquivos, são apresentados. É descrita a utilização do Hjsplit, software livre, que permite a divisão de arquivos. Adicionalmente, são apresentados dois sites, o rapidshare e o mediafire, destinados ao compartilhamento e à hospedagem de arquivos. 1. Introdução O crescimento no volume de informações transportadas por um mesmo indivíduo ou por uma equipe é uma tendência mundial. No início da década de 90, mesmo nos países desenvolvidos, um computador com capacidade de armazenamento de 12 GB era inovador. As fitas magnéticas foram substituídas a partir do anos 50, quando a IBM lançou o primogenitor dos atuais discos rígidos, o RAMAC Computer, com a capacidade de 5 MB, pesando aproximadamente uma tonelada (ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO, 2006; PCWORLD, 2006) (Figs. 1 e 2). Figura 1 - Transporte do disco rígido do RAMAC Computer criado pela IBM em 1956, com a capacidade de 5 MB. 2 Figura 2 - Sala de operação do RAMAC Computer. Após três décadas, os primeiros computadores pessoais possuíam discos rígidos com capacidade significativamente superior ao RAMAC, algo em torno de 10 MB, consumiam menos energia, custavam menos e, obviamente, tinham uma massa que não alcançava 100 quilogramas.

  • Form Ever Follows Function”:* Using Technology to Improve Feedback on Student Writing in Law School
    “FORM EVER FOLLOWS FUNCTION”:* USING TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE FEEDBACK ON STUDENT WRITING IN LAW SCHOOL Daniel L. Barnett† I. INTRODUCTION Critiquing student papers is an important responsibility of many law professors, including those who teach first-year and advanced legal- writing courses and professors who teach courses that include writing assignments.1 Providing feedback on student writing is time consuming and intellectually challenging.2 In most situations, the professor must * The aesthetic credo that “form follows function” comes from the following quote by the American architect, Louis Sullivan: It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic, of all this physical and metaphysical, of all things human and all things super-human of all true manifestations of the head, of the heart, of the soul, that the life is recognizable in its expresion, that form ever follows function. This is the law. Louis Sullivan, The Tall Office Bilding Articitically Considered, in LIPPINCOTT’S MONTHLY MAGAZINE, Mar. 1896, at 403. † Associate Professor of Legal Reasoning, Research and Writing, Boston College Law School. I owe special thanks to the following people for their invaluable comments to drafts of this article: Professor Jane Kent Gionfriddo, Boston College Law School; Irene Good, Director of Academic Technology, Suffolk University Law School; and Jane Long, Esq. I also would like to express my gratitude for the suggestions and research assistance from my research assistants, Thomas Mazgelis and Meredith Marchant. In addition, I would like to gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Boston College Law School Fund which made it possible for me to complete this article.
