Internal Moderation Webinar OCTOBER 2020
Aims of the session To clarify the aims of internal moderation To consider how to internally moderate To consider key questions for moderation of assignment briefs To consider key questions for moderation of learners work
The purposes of internal moderation To ensure the integrity and security of the teaching and learning process To ensure that learners are enabled by the assessment tasks set and their description To ensure that all learners are assessed fairly To ensure that the assessment process supports the learning process
How to internally moderate Through formal internal moderation events Informal checks with colleagues Within subject specialisms Beyond subject specialism e.g. Engineering and Drama
How to internally moderate (continued) Ensure there is a schedule of internal moderation events Ensure records are kept of which assignments are internally moderated All assignment briefs must be internally moderated before they are used Sample assessed work from all units Sample assessed work from all assessors
Moderation of assignment briefs
The tasks Will the tasks enable the learners to meet the Assessment Criteria? Are the tasks precisely described e.g. what type of writing is required, a report or an essay or is it clear what the presentation should achieve? Are the tasks too demanding or not demanding enough? Are there clear limits (e.g. word limits or time limits) to the tasks? Are the tasks appropriate for Level 3 e.g. encouraging analysis rather than description
The grade descriptors Have the appropriate components been chosen? Are the grade descriptors incremental? Is the language clear and non-ambiguous?
Across the course Is there an appropriate range of assessment methods? Is there an appropriate representation of diversity in the materials used?
Moderation of assessed work
Award of credit Have all the assessment criteria been met? Is the achievement against AC explicit or implicit? Has the appropriate grade been awarded according to the GD descriptors? Has each grade been considered individually?
Feedback Has the work been annotated to show achievement of AC? Is the language of feedback consistent with the grade awarded? Is the feedback specific to the learner s work? Is the feedback appropriately developmental?
Across the course Compare the grade profile for units for any discrepancies Compare the grades for the same GDs on different units Compare the grades awarded to an individual learner on different units
External moderation Is to support the security of the assessment process Reveal don t hide queries or difficult decisions
