Section 1: What is basic hybrid teaching?

Like all universities, UCL is making decisions about how teaching will be structured for the second term of the 2021/22 academic year. As with term 1, it seems likely that whilst many students will be on campus, others will not be able to physically attend due to travel or health restrictions. UCL staff may therefore be teaching in some programmes with a mix of physically present and remote students in the same teaching event. This post aims to guide teachers and departments through how they might make this a satisfactory experience for their students, and manageable for themselves.

You may have heard of the term ‘hybrid teaching’, although consensus on an exact definition is harder to find. Generally it refers to having both a local and a remote audience for the same class, but this can range hugely in sophistication from lavish custom-built classrooms to small additions of new technology into existing spaces. UCL already has a hybrid lecture theatre but of course we teach in hundreds of spaces across campus, so need a broad approach.

At UCL we are aiming to support students who need to be remote for a period of time, with the expectation that they will be able to come to campus in the future. We are calling this approach ‘basic hybrid’. This will not provide a seamless experience for local and remote audiences to learn, interact, work in groups and so on. But it should be sufficient for remote students to keep in touch with classes and remain connected with their teaching.

For each teaching event, we should consider whether online, face-to-face, or basic hybrid offers the best approach. And perhaps engage our students to understand what works best for them; there are certainly some who yearn for face-to-face teaching to resume, but also others for whom learning online has worked very well. There may be teaching events that work well in basic hybrid, others that are best being fully online, and others where teaching separate face-to-face and online groups is the best option.

We are making additions across the teaching estate to support basic hybrid teaching, and providing opportunities for UCL staff to become familiar with what is available and works best for you. There are two main approaches to running live sessions for both local and remote audiences:

• Use ‘Lecturecast Live’ in Lecturecast-enabled spaces to stream the teaching event as well as record it. Remote students will see and hear the class. You can also use the built in active learning tools for questions, or Mentimeter for live polls and questions.
• Use Zoom or Teams during the live teaching session to connect to a remote audience as well as your local audience. You can still record the event using Lecturecast where available or use the built in recording features of Zoom or Teams.

Which you choose will be a matter of your own familiarity and preference, but the location of the remote students may also be a factor as we are aware that Zoom has more substantial global infrastructure than the other platforms, especially for participants in China.

There will of course be variations to this, and Digital Education is working closely with Faculty Learning Technology Leads who are the best first point of contact for advice.

Section 2: Lecturecast Live

About 200 lecture theatres and larger classrooms have UCL’s Lecturecast lecture capture system installed. These spaces allow recordings to be scheduled in advance using the Lecturecast Scheduler.

This system is being upgraded to support live streaming (with about 10-30 second delay) of classes, in addition to recording them. This is set up through the Lecturecast Scheduler as normal, but also clicking the ‘Enable live streaming’ checkbox, as shown below.

We know that recording classes with Lecturecast is very popular with students, although more suited to lectures than class discussion or interaction. The live streaming option has rarely previously been used at UCL, but in our internal tests we found the remote experience to be more isolating than a Zoom or Teams call and would recommend combining it with some other way for remote students to ask questions or be engaged in discussion.

---

Section 3: Additions to our teaching spaces

Many of our teaching spaces already include a range of technology, with a standard teaching station at the front of classrooms and lecture theatres. We are adding equipment to these in various ways depending on the size and existing facilities of the spaces:

• Larger spaces with capacities greater than 30 generally already have Lecturecast installed. Here we are adding equipment to connect the managed PC, or your own laptop, to the existing in-room Lecturecast camera and audio equipment
• Spaces which have capacities between 10-30 are usually too small to have Lecturecast, In these we are adding a Logitech Brio webcam to the managed PC to act as a camera and microphone for teaching sessions using Zoom or Teams. However Lecturecast remains unavailable in these spaces.
• For very small spaces, or where other departmental rooms are being used, we are providing departments with webcams and speaker/microphone units so that they can ‘bring your own hybrid’ to wherever teaching is taking place.

We are also adding ‘Lecturecast Live’, so that where Lecturecast is installed, teaching events can be streamed live as well as recorded. This has previously been used with a few departments, but live streaming will now be able to be set up using the Lecturecast Scheduler.

More details on each are given below.

Section 4: Teaching Spaces with Lecturecast

We have about 200 spaces that include Lecturecast, UCL’s lecture capture system. These are being upgraded to allow the existing camera and audio to be used within a Teams or Zoom video call with remote students. We recommend you use the managed PC in the room where possible to provide a stable wired network connection.

For the managed PC in the room, we have produced video guides for using Teams and Zoom.

Video guide to using Zoom from the managed PC (this video has captions):

You can also connect your own laptop in the in-room audio and video system using a new labelled blue ‘hybrid teaching’ USB 3 Type A cable that is being provided.

Video guide to connecting your laptop in a Lecturecast-enabled space (this video has captions)

In summary, for most teaching events in Lecturecast-enabled rooms, the outline instructions are:

• Log in to the managed PC, or connect your own laptop display output e.g. HDMI. We strongly recommend using the manage PC due to its wired internet connection and pre-checked compatibility with the new technical additions
• If using your own laptop, connect the blue ‘hybrid teaching’ cable to a USB 3 socket on your laptop
• Start Zoom or Teams, and choose the correct camera, speaker and microphone as per the instructions below
• Start your video call, and share content such as slides or your desktop as you would do normally
• Use the volume control on the console to change the volume level in the room

The devices you need to use are:

• Camera: UVC USB3.0 CAPTURE DEVICE (managed PC) or eEver USB 3.0 Capture (your own laptop)
• Microphone: UAC USB 3.0 CAPTURE DEVICE
• Speakers: ExtronScalerD or HDMI

---

Section 5: Teaching spaces without Lecturecast

We are installing a Logitech Brio webcam in around 180 teaching spaces which do not have Lecturecast. These webcams will be mounted on or near the monitor. This is an excellent quality webcam with good dual microphones and built in echo cancellation. The camera will normally be attached to the top of the monitor.

This webcam allows Zoom/Teams calls to be made from the managed PC in the teaching space for the purposes of bringing in remote students to see and hear the lecturer, and see any content they are sharing within the call. Lecturecast is not available in these spaces, but calls can be recorded using Zoom and will automatically ingest into the host’s Lecturecast personal library, provided that the host is an existing Lecturecast user with an account already created. If they do not have an existing Lecturecast account, the recording will be stored as a Zoom recording and can be linked to or downloaded from Zoom.

We’ve made a video guide on using the webcam from these spaces (this video has captions):

A summary of this process:

• Log in to the networked PC
• Start Zoom or Teams, and choose the correct camera, speaker and microphone as per the instructions below
• Start your video call, and share content such as slides or your desktop as you would do normally
• Use the volume control on the console to change the volume level in the room

The devices you need to use are:

• Camera: Logitech Brio (normally this will be the only option)
• Microphone: Logitech Brio (normally this will be the only option)
• Speakers: Realtek (normally this will be the only option)

Note that there is no facility to connect your own laptop to the Logitech Brio webcam in these spaces, and we ask that you do not disconnect the camera from the managed PC. If you do need to use your own laptop, we are providing equipment to departments to enabled this, detailed in the next section.

---

Section 6: Bring your own hybrid

Some teaching spaces will not be receiving additional equipment. This will usually be for one of three reasons:

• They are very small spaces, typically for 10 students or fewer, and normally used for parallel/break-out/tutorial style sessions rather than larger teaching events.
• They are departmentally managed spaces where the equipment is not managed by ISD.
• They are other ‘ad-hoc’ spaces, such as staff offices, in which teaching activities (e.g. supporting research students) might take place, but are not designated as teaching spaces.

For teaching spaces which don’t have existing technology, we are suggesting a ‘bring your own hybrid’ approach to using portable technology to produce a workable experience for local and remote students.

ISD will supply each department with two Jabra Speak 510 units which are combined speakers and microphones which provide good audio in smaller spaces. We will also provide two Logitech Brio webcams. Both of these connect via USB Type Asockets to a desktop or laptop. The Brio ideally would use a USB 3 connection, although a USB 23 connection will work for non-4k video. The Jabra Speak 510 uses USB 2. Together, these would provide an acceptable level of video, audio and content sharing for a remote audience. For a small group, these can facilitate a natural discussion, and we have been using the Jabra units especially for meetings across multiple sites. For larger groups, they can enable to the teacher to be seen and heard by a remote audience, but won’t be sensitive enough to pick up audio across a room

Once connected, the devices you need to use in Zoom or Teams are:

• Camera: Logitech Brio
• Microphone: Jabra Speak 510
• Speakers: Jabra Speak 510

If you have larger groups, there are other Jabra units available; as a rule of thumb, the larger the unit, the larger the audience it can accommodate. You can view the full Jabra Speak range; note that all of the units except the Speak 810 are powered by USB or internal batteries; the Speak 810 requires mains power when in use.

We are also testing the Meeting Owl Pro, a more sophisticated video device that identifies who is speaking, and alters the camera view to focus on them. It also provides an ‘all-room view’ to give context, and includes a built in speaker and microphone. There’s a demo from the manufacturer that shows how it works, although our testing so far has been a little disappointing, with the video rather slow to identify the speaker, and the audio quality not as clear as we had hoped.

Section 7: What’s it like to do basic hybrid teaching, or basic hybrid learning?

First, let’s be clear. Hybrid teaching where a local and remote audience interact is difficult and tiring, especially if you are doing this on your own. Mor et al (2021) notes that:

“However, many of the [institutional] newcomers [to hybrid teaching] appear to be disillusioned, realising that if not implemented properly, synchronous hybrid learning is “the worst of both worlds” – synergising the limitations of both online and onsite teaching; On one hand, the teacher is constrained in utilising collaborative and active learning approaches that utilise the affordances of physical (or virtual) interaction. On the other, the need to be present simultaneously in the classroom and in a virtual environment creates a challenging cognitive load for the teacher.”

We are supporting basic hybrid teaching technologies as part of our ongoing COVID-19 response, not with the expectation that it will form a new pedagogy or delivery mode at UCL. It will have limitations, and not all the teaching methods currently in use at UCL will translate well to this basic hybrid format. We recognise the load this puts on teachers in thinking through how best to support their students, and themselves, when basic hybrid teaching is being used.

Managing simultaneous local and remote audiences

It is never a bad idea at UCL to invoke the thoughts of Jeremy Bentham (or indeed, his brother Samuel), and the Panopticon inspection principle provides an analogy. Michel Foucault described the fate of a prisoner in the panopticon, “he is seen, but he does not see; he is an object of information, never a subject in communication.” It’s similar to how our local and remote audiences might feel during teaching sessions, being able to see the teacher and view the content, but not really able to engage with their peers on the other side of the divide. Of course, teachers are not prison guards, but this separation of audiences may feel antithetical to the inclusive, lively way that they traditionally teach in a room, or even fully online.

An assistant, or co-pilot, can be very helpful for fielding questions from the remote audience, particularly if there is a lively – but not so relevant – chat, where the important questions and comments fly by. By joining in with the remote audience, they can support their questions and discussions, reducing the cognitive load on the primary teacher and act as the bridge between them and the local group.

Structuring classes

Structuring time is important: time for content, time for questions, and time for discussion. Incorporating both audiences into your teaching by explicitly giving time for both audiences to digest and discuss is likely to mean you cover less content in a single session. And the sessions will take slightly longer to set up using the in-room technology, even though that should be just a few minutes. But please respect the UCL hour (classes being 5 past to 5 to the hour, to allow for changeover and setup for the next group). The Centre for Teaching and Learning at The University of Oxford have produced a useful guide for planning hybrid teaching.

Managing discussion

A lively class discussion is a wonderful thing to enjoy. Humans are very good at listening, and can zone-in on who they want to listen to and filter out background noises or distractions, even in a busy, noisy room. Microphones are not as good at dealing with multiple sources of noise, so when multiple people speak at the same time, the result is a cacophony. If you’ve ever watched a TV news programme or political debate where panellists speak over each, you will understand the problem. If you are having a group discussion, it’s important to regulate and orchestrate it so that only one person is speaking at once. A good discussion in basic hybrid is more like the experience of being at a well-chaired committee meeting, than sitting round having a chat.

Sharing content

Many of us have had the experience of sharing our desktop to show slides or do a demo, and then not being able to see the other remote participants. An alternative to sharing the whole screen is just to show one window, which is your application of choice. A little-known fact is that PowerPoint doesn’t have to use your whole screen; it can run a slide show in a single window. To do this, go to Slide Show -> Set up Slide Show -> choose the ‘Presented by an individual (window)’ option. Now the slideshow will be in a single window, and you can position this so that you can see the remote participants, and any hands raised at the same time. Makes things a bit more personable. Alternatively you might share slides in advance via Moodle, and allow remote participants to use them at their own pace.

Using the microphone

Lecture theatres are often not terribly good acoustic environments, with lots of hard surfaces, and noisy fans and ventilation systems. Most rooms have wearable microphones, and these will make a huge difference to the sound quality for the remote audience. It’s good practice to use the microphones when available, as they can be helpful for members of the local audience, but will be particularly useful for remote participants. Please remember to put the microphone back on charge after use. Where there are no wearable microphones but instead fixed microphones about the teacher, you may need to ask for quiet within the room when you are speaking.

Using a visualiser

Many teaching spaces have a built in visualiser, also known as a document camera. We have also issued many portable visualisers to staff who have been teaching remotely from home over the last year.

These can be used in your basic hybrid teaching, by swapping from the camera feed trained on the speaker to the visualiser feed instead. When using the in-room visualiser, this is a little fiddly, but is demonstrated in the video below (this video has captions):

When you are using the in-room visualiser, there is one significant fact to be aware of. You will need to use the control panel to show the visualiser on screen for the local audience. However, when you do this, you will no longer be able to hear the remote audience through the room system, although they of course can still hear you. So you might wish to ensure you have a co-pilot to field questions in the chat, or take regular breaks from using the visualiser to connect again with your remote audience.

Time zones and recording

If you have remote audiences based outside the UK, they may be in a variety of different time zones. Recording, either with Lecturecast or by recording in Zoom/Teams can make a huge difference for students overseas. You might also vary the time of teaching events so that at least some are in more social hours depending on students’ time zones. Even when using Zoom or Teams in space, you can still schedule a Lecturecast recording for those that cannot make the live session to catch up later, in fact having both is a good ‘belt and braces’ approach.

Keep it simple

Over the last 18 months we have changed our teaching practices like never before. This is a further change. At least when starting with basic hybrid teaching, we encourage colleagues to try to keep things as simple as possible and grow from there.

Section 8: Frequently asked questions about basic hybrid teaching

Does wearing a face covering or mask have an impact of audio quality?

Yes, a little, but less than you might think. Here’s a short test video that shows the impact of wearing a cloth face covering and a thicker FFP2/N95 face mask on sound quality.

For a more evidence-based view than my short test, see some of the readings in section 10.

Can I use an iPad as a whiteboard in a Zoom call?

Yes you can, and there are a number of good whiteboard apps available. The standard Apple Notes app is a starting point, but you can also use apps such as Microsoft Whiteboard, Notability and Explain Everything. You can also record video content using many of these apps, but we don’t need this here as we will just be using Zoom on the iPad to share the screen.

The starting point of doing this is to join the Zoom call twice, once from a computer handling the audio and video (e.g. the managed PC in a UCL teaching space) and secondly from the iPad. Once this is done, disconnect the audio from the iPad to avoid unpleasant audio feedback, share the screen, and then use whichever whiteboard app you like.

We’ve made a demo on this, below. This video has captions.

Do I need to record attendance for students ‘attending’ a session remotely?

It is possible to download attendance lists for Zoom and Teams, although this is not possible for Lecturecast Live events. You can find guidance on requirements and processes for recording attendance at the RegisterUCL site.

A major challenge faced  by our learners studying online last year was simply orienting themselves; understanding what tasks to undertake next in a module and how much time to spend on them.

As we move back into more blended delivery, students will have to navigate a rich mix of online and campus-based activities. Clear ‘signposting’ of resources and activities becomes ever more important to reduce stress and guide learners though often quite complex teaching sequences. Pre-Covid, directions could be given verbally during on-campus sessions, but over the last 18 months much of this signposting has had to be provided via Moodle. In this sense, a Moodle course becomes a ‘map’ of the student journey, displaying the structure of each module while also allowing access to its online material and activities. 

We know students who are learning partially or entirely online may feel isolated or ‘disconnected’ from the learning process. It is not unusual for them to be unsure whether they have all the information they need and are doing the right things at the right times. A consistent and ‘friendly’ Moodle course design, with clear labelling of links will students help find specific resources quickly and easily. Learners also appreciate simple instructional direction, describing where, when (and why) to look for resources and how to complete activities. Students can especially benefit from suggestions on how long to spend on each task in order to prioritise and avoid overload. These simple adjustments can reduce students’ confusion and anxiety, enabling them better to focus on learning. 

To make this simple redesign even easier, many departments have aligned with the UCL Connected Learning Baseline which establishes the minimum expectations, or baseline, for Connected Learning in Moodle in 2021/22. Its 10 brief sections address the practicalities of how to arrange and present a course so that it is easy to use, how to help students get the most out of it, how to manage communications, as well as a digestible overview of legal requirements, particularly accessibility. A general, baseline-aligned template (see image) was created by Digital Education which has been adapted by many departments. While there is no requirement to present the course in a specific way, your Faculty Learning Technology Lead (FLTL) will be able to advise if a local template is available. 

Whether a template is used or not – and given everyone’s time constraints – we suggest focusing initially on the first five sections of the Baseline, covering structure, orientation, communication, assessment and resources. These five sections make recommendations for making your course more ‘friendly’, useable, and navigable.  For example, we know that simple welcome videos that provide an overview of the module and/or sections within it are much appreciated by our students. 

Beyond these basics, a real positive outcome of the last 18 months is that staff and students have become much better at using Moodle to its full potential, including for example using quizzes to help engagement and of course including pre-recorded short lectures in Moodle as a springboard for seminars (on campus or online). If you are interested these and other approaches, there is a wealth of help available online  (linked from the Baseline page) and again, your Faculty Learning Technology Lead (FLTL) or Digital Education Advisor should be able to assist. 

I am a massive fan of RStudio.  Not just for R development and data analysis.  I use RStudio a lot in writing learning materials, recently for R, but also for Pyton and Stata using literate programming techniques and the learnr package (yes, you can include Stata code in markdown documents with a little work!)

There are a whole bunch of (no doubt wonderful) things in this Preview release that I haven’t yet bothered to look at, but somethings have got my immediate attention.

The visual markdown editor

I have mixed feelings about this. I know that visual editing – that is, something partway towards WYSIWYG, a la Word – is appreciated by lots of people, but I loathe it. I took up LaTeX a long time ago to get away from Microsoft Word (and, not to boast, I am a very proficient Word user). But, even I found that 90 per cent of the time, LaTeX was too complicated for what I needed. Hoorah for Markdown.

RStudio actually provided my first introduction to Markdown and I revelled in it from the beginning, especially combined with Pandoc: one source many ouputs! At last the world was beginning to understand.  Write in one simple lightweight format and get HTML, PDF, DOCX and other formats automatically.  And of course it put literate programming within easy reach of all R programmers and learners. With the learnr package writing R study materials is a breeze.

But, still some people don’t like plain text editing. Well, the 1.4 Preview shows off the new visual editor. It’s not a complete WYSYWIG offer like Word, but it does show you a live close to end-result preview and has menus to formatting, layout, tables, images, citations. If you really don’t like typing text this may be just what you are looking for to push you that last step into literate data analysis with R and RMarkdown.

Inserting citations with Zotero

Yes, zotero users can now use the source editor to insert citations with point and click – just like Word users. There is no need to first export the references to a BibTeX file first – RStudio handles that for you. Using BibTeX is another thing that people have sometimes mentioned when talking about the difficulty of writing in Rmarkdown.

New Python functionality

And then, oh joy, the new python functionality. I find that very few people are aware that it’s a breeze to combine Python and R code using Rmarkdown documents, although it may take some effort to understand all the set-up requirements for python chunks at first: it took me 15 minutes the first time I tried to run import numpy as np!

Now, this new release adds tools for configuring python, conda and virtual environments. For me the real advance though is somewhat simpler: now you can see python data objects in the RStudio environment pane and view python dataframes in the normal way.

Rainbows!

The last of the new features I know I will use is the introduction of ‘rainbow’ parentheses. Nothing to with Pride month apparently, just adding colour coded bracketing to help you balance your parentheses.

Time to give R (and Python) with RStudio another look

If the user interface has put you off moving to R and RStudio, then now is definitely a time to have another look. Especially for Stata users, complexity and ease of use really aren’t a reason to prefer Stata any more and the move to R coding really isn’t that difficult.

ABC learning design is UCL’s widely used ‘sprint’ method to help busy university and college teachers review and redesign their courses for blended modes.

Originally run as face-to-face workshops, in just 90 minutes teaching teams work together to create a visual ‘storyboard’ of activities representing the student journey. Assessment methods, programme-level themes and institutional policies can all be integrated easily. International ABC user groups soon emerged to share ideas, translations and localisations.

The Covid crisis impacted in two ways; one positive, one negative.

As even traditionally minded universities were forced to ‘pivot’ rapidly to online learning provision, the advantages of digital modes and the need for learning design suddenly became clearer. However traditional ABC on-campus workshops were impossible. The community responded swiftly by experimented with online approaches.

This academic year Clive Young and Nataša Perović, the UCL originators of ABC, created and trialled their own online version based on Google Jamboard and UCL’s Learning Designer tool.

In a popular webinar last week Clive and Nataša showed how this works and compared on-campus and online versions.

Background

As part of UCL’s continued COVID-19 response, centrally managed examinations for 2021 will be held online. Approximately 19,000 students will undertake over 1,000 exam papers resulting in about 48,000 submitted pieces of work. These exams are timetabled, and (for the very most part) students will submit a PDF document as their response. Students have been provided with their exam timetable and guidance on creating and submitting their documents. The exception to this is some ‘pilot’ examinations that are taking place using other methods on the AssessmentUCL platform, but unless you are within that pilot group, the methods described here will apply.

The move to online 24 hour assessments that replace traditional exams leads to a challenge for those that have to grade and mark the work. This blog post updates a similar post from last year with updated guidance, although the process is broadly the same.

Physical exams are being replaced with 24 hour online papers, scheduled through the exam timetabling system. Some papers will be available for students to complete for the full 24 hours, in other cases students ‘start the clock’ themselves to take a shorter timed exam within that 24 hour window.

We start from a place of two knowns:

• Students are submitting work as a PDF document to the AssessmentUCL platform during the 24 hour window; and
• Final grades need to be stored in Portico, our student records system.

But in between those two endpoints, there are many different workflows by which marking can take place. These are set out by the UCL’s Academic Manual but encompass a range of choices, particularly in how second marking is completed. One key difference between regular courseworks is that this is not about providing feedback to students, but instead about supporting the marking process, the communication between markers and the required record of the marking process. At the end of the marking process departments will need to ensure that scripts are stored securely but can be accessed by relevant staff as required, much in line with requirements for paper versions over previous years.

There is no requirement to use a particular platform or method for marking, so there is considerable flexibility for departments to use processes that work best for them. We are suggesting a menu of options which provide a basis for departments to build on if they so choose. We are also running regular training sessions which as listed at the foot of this document.

The menu options are:

• Markers review the scripts and mark or annotate them using AssessmentUCL’s annotation and markup tools;
• Departments can download PDF copies of scripts which can be annotated using PDF annotation software on a computer or tablet device;
• Markers review the scripts on-screen using AssessmentUCL, but keep a ‘marker file’ or notes and comments on the marking process;
• Markers print the scripts and mark them, then scan them for storage or keep them for return to the department on paper.

The rest of this post goes into these options in more detail. There is also a growing AssessmentUCL resource centre with detailed guidance on exams, which will be launched shortly and this will evolve as the AssessmentUCL platform becomes more widely used across UCL.

Overview of central exam marking

This video provides a short (4 minute) introduction to the methods of marking exam papers in 2021. This video has captions available.

Marking online using AssessmentUCL’s annotation tools

AssessmentUCL provides a web-based interface where comments can be overlaid on a student’s work. A range of second marking options are available to allow comments to be shared with other markers or kept hidden from them. The central examinations team will set up all centrally managed exams based on the papers and information submitted by departments.

The video (24 minutes) below provides a walkthrough of the marking process using the annotation and grading tools in AssessmentUCL. It also shows how module leaders can download PDFs of student papers if they wish to mark using other methods or download marks if they are using AssessmentUCL. This video has captions available.

Annotation using PDF documents

Where you annotation needs are more sophisticated, or you want to ‘write’ on the paper using a graphics tablet or a tablet and pencil/stylus, then this option may suit you better.

Module leads and exams liaison officers can download a ZIP file containing all the submitted work for a given exam. Unlike last year, a student’s candidate number is prefixed onto the filename, and can be included within the document itself, to make identifying the correct student much easier.

You can then use tools you already have or prefer to use to do your marking. There is more flexibility here, and we will not be able to advise and support every PDF tool available or give precise instructions for every workflow used by departments, but we give some examples here.

Marking on an iPad using OneDrive

Many staff have reported using an iPad with Apple Pencil or an Android tablet with a stylus to be a very effective marking tool. You can use the free Microsoft OneDrive app, or Apple’s built in Files app if you are using an iPad. Both can connect to your OneDrive account which could be a very useful way to store your files. An example of this using OneDrive is shown below, the Apple Files version is very similar.

There’s further guidance from Microsoft on each individual annotation tool.

Marking on a PC or Surface Pro using Microsoft Drawboard PDF

Microsoft Drawboard PDF is a very comprehensive annotation tool, but is only available for Windows 10 and is really designed to be used with a Surface Pro or a desktop with a graphics tablet. Dewi Lewis from UCL Chemistry has produced a video illustrating the annotation tools available and how to mark a set of files easily. Drawboard PDF is available free of charge from Microsoft.

Marking on a PC, Mac or Linux machine using a PDF annotation program.

Of course there are plenty of third party tools that support annotating PDF documents. Some requirement payment to access the annotation facilities (or to save files that have been annotated) but two that do not are Xodo and Foxit PDF.

Things to think about with this approach:

• Your marking process: if you use double blind marking you might need to make two copies of the files, one for each marker. If you use check marking then a single copy will suffice.
• You will need to ensure the files are stored securely and can be accessed by the relevant departmental staff in case of any query. You might share the exam submission files with key contacts such as teaching administrators or directors of teaching.
• Some of the products listed above have a small charge, as would any stylus or pencil that staff would need. These cannot be supplied centrally, so you may need a process for staff claiming back the costs from departments.

Using a ‘marker file’

Accessing the students’ scripts is done using AssessmentUCL, which allows all the papers to be viewed online individually or downloaded in one go. Then a separate document is kept (either one per script, or one overall) containing the marks and marker feedback for each comment. If double-blind marking is being used, then it is easy to see that two such documents or sets of documents could be kept in this way.

Printing scripts and marking on paper

Although we have moved to online submission this year, colleagues are still welcome to print documents and mark on paper. However there is no central printing service available for completed scripts to be printed, and this would have to be managed individually or locally by departments.

The evidence about marking online

In this video Dr Mary Richardson, Associate Professor in Educational Assessment at the IOE, gives a guide to how online marking can differ from paper-based marking and offers some tips for those new to online marking. The video has captions.

Training sessions and support

Markers can choose to mark Late Summer Assessment (LSA) exams in the same way as they marked the main round of exams. For a refresher or if you were not involved in marking centrally managed exams, please refer to the recording of one of Digital Education’s previous training sessions (UCL staff login required) and the slides used in the training session which can be downloaded.

Throughout the LSA period (16th Aug to 3rd September), drop-ins will be run Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 12-1pm. The drop in session is relevant to markers, moderators, the Module Lead and Exams Liaison Officer. Attendees can ask questions, or see a demo of the marking options. You can find the link for these and join immediately.

You can of course contact UCL Digital Education for further help and support.

This is blog outlines some changes to the advice I gave previously on how to produce accessible documents using LaTeX. The changes concern the production of PDFs for use digitally, and conversion from LaTeX to HTML.

ISD general guidance on producing accessible materials on its Accessibility Fundamentals pages still holds.

In that previous blog entry, I included as an aim to ‘get as close as possible to producing ‘tagged PDF’ or PDF/UA documents using LaTeX’. This is not currently doable. I replace it with the aim to ‘get as close as possible to producing reasonable accessible documents using LaTeX’. Given the long standing difficulties meeting accessibility requirements from LaTeX source in PDF the advice must be to produce HTML documents when accessibility is required.

In particular, I do not now recommend using the LaTeX package accessibility.sty to create tagged documents. Development of the package has been halted and the author no longer supports its use. If you are interested in the effort to produce tagged PDF from LaTeX source, then you should read this article from the TeX Usergroup newsletter, Tugboat. The author of the package mentioned in the article himself believes it is not yet ready for use in production. But, he writes, “with the tagpdf package it is already possible for adventurous users with a bit of knowledge in TEX programming to tag quite large documents”. I am not adventurous or knowledgeable enough to rise to that challenge.

With respect to mathematical content, I had previously recommended Pandoc which can convert to HTML with machine readable mathematical content. I have since looked more closely at this issue and I now prefer to use tex4ht which has some useful features, including the ability to include the LaTeX code for mathematical content in a page. It is also the package recommended by TUG. There is good documentation on the TUG website. However, tex4ht does not produce Microsoft Word documents from LaTeX, and so Pandoc is still the best tool if that is required. And Pandoc does still do the job if you don’t need extra features.

In the light of these and other issues, I have made the switch completely to using RMarkdown. This allows me to mix lightweight mark up, LaTeX mathematical code and HTML in one document. Using HTML to insert graphics allows me to include alt text which is not otherwise possible.

There is still to my knowledge no solution for presentations made with Beamer or similar packages. Whereas I previously suggested using the package pdfcomment to annotate images on slides made with LaTeX, I do not now since I have discovered that the comments are not well understood by screenreader software.

The current situation means that we can do very little to support colleagues with accessibility issues in LaTeX workflows and especially with respect to presentations and providing alternative text for images, beyond the advice we have already provided.
