Tabula 2020.6.1 released

We released Tabula 2020.6.1 on Friday 5th June 2020. In this version:

  • We introduced new functionality within the Marks Management component. You can now:
    • Make a missing marks adjustment when an assessment did not take place, for example due to industrial action or COVID-19.
    • Scale component marks to properly reflect the performance of a cohort against learning outcomes and grade descriptors. Thanks are due to Dave Wood (Maths) and Sam Coy (Computer Science) for their invaluable help with this.
    • Calculate and record module marks - Tabula can calculate module marks when component marks are present.
  • We widened the page to show more on screen. This should help when you view previews of exam grids, for example.
  • When you include mitigating circumstances on an exam grid:
    • Comments from the panel are now shown. These comments were already available within the assessment breakdown of any affected student.
    • Where a recommendation to the exam board applies to all of a student's modules for the mitigation period, these modules are now listed.
  • We completed some work in preparation for the upcoming graduation benchmark functionality.
