Assessment Decisions

Judge Evidence against criteria to make assessment decisions.  

There are three steps to View, Modify/Accept and Assess evidence:

1.  Firstly you need to view the Evidence

1.1  Click the "Candidates" tab then "Candidate Search"
1.2  Find the relevant Candidate using the search facility and click 'View Portfolio'
1.3  Select the "Evidence" tab on the right
1.4 From the list of Evidence select the presented items you want to assess (scroll down if necessary)

You will now be viewing the Evidence in your candidate’s portfolio for you to read.
To enlarge images or open attachments simply click on them.

1.5  To commence your assessment select the 'Assess' button at the bottom of the page.


Please Note: If the Candidate sends a piece of Evidence in the form of an attachment and you would like to refer to the Standards at the same time as assessing the Evidence, you will need to split your Windows. To do this, close all Windows except the downloaded document and the Ecordia application, then right click on the tray at the bottom of your screen and select 'Show windows side by side'. You will then be able to view the document and access Ecordia at the same time.

2.  Now you can Modify and Accept the coverage

You will now have the opportunity to Modify the coverage for the evidence:

2.1  Click the 'Link Evidence' button at the bottom of the page

A new screen will open, and you will see a tab for each active unit along the top

2.2 Go to each Unit you want the Evidence to link to and tick the relevant standards as required
2.3  Click 'Done' to go back to the Evidence page.

If the coverage reflects the Candidate’s competences go to the Prepare Feedback below.


3.  Record your Assessment Decision and Feedback

3.1  Click 'Prepare Assessment Feedback'
3.2 Record your Assessment Decision by selecting the relevant option from the drop-down menu

Please Note:  If you are unable to select an Assessment Decision from the drop-down menu, this would indicate that the Assessment Decisions
have not been linked to the course. Please contact your QAC or LSA for assistance.

3.3  If your decision is negative ("Action Required", "Fail" etc) enter a new Evidence Target Date
3.4 Enter your Assessment Feedback (see step 3.4i below)
3.5  Once you are happy with your feedback, click 'Save and Close'
3.6  Click 'Finish Assessment' 

A "Feedback Given" item will appear on your Candidate’s Front Page as an Item for their Attention
When your Candidate views the Evidence they will be able to read your Assessment Feedback.
If the Candidate accepts the decision, the Evidence status will reflect your assessment decision. 

Until your Candidate "Accepts" the assessment, you can modify the feedback by clicking 'Modify Assessment' and you will be returned to Modify and Accept the Coverage.

3.4i  If you prepared the evidence, but want the candidate to make changes, tick the 'Make candidate the holder after feedback is accepted:' which can be found on the prepare assessment feedback screen once a negative decision has been selected.




Please Note: Once you have assessed a piece of Evidence and provided Feedback, the progress on the Candidate's Portfolio will not increase/recalculate until the Candidate accepts your feedback. If their email address is in the system they will get an email to notify them of the new task.
