Workflow Processes
The system is designed to facilitate and track two workflow processes that are described in detail in
Chapter Six.
Assessment Setting Moderation Process
The Assessment Setting Moderation Process is required to ensure that the assessments that are set
for a module meet the same required level as a Lancaster University taught award. This process
takes place BEFORE a module is commenced.
Assessment Marking Moderation Process
The Assessment marking moderation process is required to ensure that the assessment marking
meets the required level to be equivalent to a Lancaster University taught award. This process takes
place AFTER an assessment has been completed.
Workflow Roles
The workflow processes use a number of pre-defined roles. These are briefly explained below and
are documented in further detail
Programme Primary Contact
The programme director has responsibility and visibility across all of the modules that may
be used within the programme.
Module Leader
The module leader role is the person that is responsible for the course content. This is
usually the person that will be teaching the module
Moderator
The moderator role is the person that is responsible for reviewing, validating the course and
assessment documentation.
External Examiner
In line with standard university policy if an assessment is either an examination or a
coursework assessment comprising of more than 30% total marks for a module they will
require moderation by an external examiner.
Other Contacts
This role is not used within the workflow processes however users who are added as Other
Contacts at Programme or Module level will gain access to the documents and information
for that Programme/Module.
