Unit coordinators can now transfer the final marks and grades of a unit from Moodle (Learning Management System) to Callista (Student Management System).

In Semester 1 2015, the university conducted a successful pilot of a new integrated process to transfer the final marks and grades of a unit from Moodle to Callista.

The system is now available for wider use and unit coordinators are invited to use this interface for grades transfer.

The new process was piloted with around 40 units as an alternative to the usual spreadsheet method of uploading marks to Callista between January and June this year. This pilot was a success and over 5,000 student marks were transferred using this process.

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

If you are a unit coordinator of a unit running in Semester 2, 2015 and would like to use this system to transfer your grades from Moodle to Callista, 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. This system can be used for units where the student grades are any of HD,D,C,P,N, SA, SX, NA and DNS.

If you had participated in the pilot of the system earlier this year then you are more than welcome to continue to use the system for other units you are coordinating. All you will need to do is to contact us and we will give you access to the system again.

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