In Semester 2, 2014 the university conducted a trial of a new automated process to transfer the final marks and grades of a unit from Moodle (Learning Management System) to Callista (Student Management System).

The new process was trialled on a small set of units as an alternative to the usual spreadsheet method of uploading marks to Callista. Following on from the success of this initial trial we are now running an expanded trial for more unit coordinators in Semester 1 this year.

There are numerous benefits in the new Grades Transfer Process including

• Seamless and secure transfer of student marks and grades from Moodle to Callista
• Elimination of the need to export component marks out of Moodle and manual compilation of final marks in one or more spreadsheet files, often resulting in data entry errors
• Simple management of student marks especially for large class sizes

We would like to invite unit coordinators to participate in an expanded trial. Numbers are limited so the sooner you register your interest, the higher the likelihood that we will be able to include your chosen unit(s).

If you are a unit coordinator of a unit running in Semester 1, 2015 and would like to register your interest in this trial please provide the code and title of your nominated unit(s) to gtp@murdoch.edu.au. You may nominate any number of your units as desired.

Thank you very much. We look forward to your participation.
