Tabula release notes
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.
