Session 14: Grade journey

Abstract

Session overview:

The Grade Journey project aims to automate the transfer of grades from Canvas into the Student Information System (SIS), is set to span several years in its implementation, and transform how two of the largest university systems operate and integrate with one another. Eliminating the need for manual grade entry will save time and significantly increase the accuracy of data for Boards of Examiners. It will also help to manage the digital learning experience of students who have had to take deferrals or have trailing credit. The success of Grade Journey is dependent on effective collaboration between a range of key players across LJMU including, academic colleagues, Faculty-based support staff, Academic Registry, IT Services and the Teaching & Learning Academy. It will see further integration of key university systems: SIS and Canvas.

Key learning points from this session:

This session will outline the key benefits associated with Grade Journey. There will be an explanation of work undertaken to date that has involved consultation with multiple stakeholders to evaluate requirements, the development of prototype solutions and a complete upgrade to the SIS and Canvas integration. The session will also identify next steps in this important development, with opportunities for staff to questions of members of the Grade Journey project team.
