<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues, <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We would like to draw your attention to two new support articles that have been written in response to recent queries from staff users of Myplace. These relate to blind marking and group settings for the
<a href="http://support.myplace.strath.ac.uk/updates/2013/06/20/myplace-online-assignments-have-changed-at-the-university-of-strathclyde-for-2013-2014/">
new, single online assignment type on Myplace in use for 2013-2014</a>. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">1. Blind Marking: Administrative Tools<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The new ‘Moodle’ assignment type introduced in Myplace this academic year uses true blind marking whereby students have a completely anonymous participant ID rather than registration number to identify assignments. Staff feedback has highlighted
that there are scenarios where particular student registration numbers need to be identified, e.g. in order to grant extensions or apply disability adjustments without revealing ALL student identities which is irreversible. Myplace development has therefore
been done in consultation with the University’s Assessment and Feedback Working Group to allow this, please see the following support article for details:

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please note that we will seek further feedback on this later in the year in order to refine development.

<p class="MsoNormal">2. Group Settings for Online Assignments<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">There is now one online assignment type that caters for individual assignments and group assignments. Please see the following support article for details of the
