The new location for the building is congenial with its position in the academic society as well as in the emerging cityscape. The building protrudes over the intersection between Solnavgen, a thoroughfare that is about to be transformed into an urban street, and the pedestrian axis that will connect the university with the extensive hospital currently under construction next by. The proximity to its large complex called for an expressive form, and discussions with the antiquary authorities created a clarifying distinction to a listed building nearby.
If the relation to the city is guided by a wish to adapt to an urban pattern, the plan of the building is generated by the auditorium. For a large aula of today, where lectures with images and performances on the stage demand good sightlines and acoustics to each and every seat,the V-shaped seating have proved to be the most efficient. It has not always been like that. The shape of the hall has changed by changing objectives. For KI, we believed that an arrangement where the speaker and the audience could meet on an equal basis, mirrored the academic society of today best. That is also why the level of the auditorium entrance is equal with the stage, as well as with the middle section of the dividable plenum. An auditorium at Nobel Center shall be equally accessible, but differences in size and mood may call for a different plan. The optimal solution is never static.
The 1000-seat auditorium dominates the building that also hosts facilities for administration and a faculty club. These are located on top of the hall, which was made possible thru large trusses. The entire structure stands on three legs, located together with stairs and elevators in each corner. The retracted supports have enabled uninterrupted spaces indoor as well as continuity in the outer form. Variation will arise from shifts in light, as architecture always has.
When using Handin it does mean the submitted group task will not be uploaded to Turnitin for text-matching. If text-matching is required for this assessment, then the following steps can be taken as a workaround:
To support the messaging around this policy change for students, we ask that all Module Leaders, where possible, add the following two points to their assessment briefs to support students to understand this change:
All staff should be lenient and supportive in the managing of this process change for students during semester one. If a student submits a draft and then needs to submit after the deadline due to technical difficulties, Module Leaders should allow students to do this where possible.
It is possible to create sub-assignments that will only be visible to a chosen group of students. Using this feature means that all grades are collated under the same assignment and therefore the assessment item will be exported as grades to Universe. This feature allows:
Rubrics are assessment tools used to help to evaluate student work, based on criteria and scales that can be created within Aula, or can be imported from elsewhere. They help students to understand what is expected of them from an assignment and why they have received their grade. There are typically two types of rubrics, analytical and holistic.
From time- to time, students may email their assessment to you as tutor. It is important that the student understands that the submission needs to come via Aula and not via email. If the submission is before the deadline then ask the student to submit through Aula if they are able to do so.
If the reason the student cannot submit an original submission is caused by technical issues check if they can upload a small file, which can then be replaced by the emailed version. Students who face technical issues should open a ticket with Aula Support at sup...@aula.ac.uk ASAP
It may happen that your students might need to resubmit their previously uploaded work. In both Turnitin and Handin, the student can resubmit for as long as an assignment is open. If a student is unable to submit for technical reasons then, in Turnitin, staff can resubmit manually on behalf of an individual student. It is not possible to make an original submission on their behalf.
Marking using the Turnitin assessment will be through the Turnitin Feedback Studio. This allows students to receive feedback associated with the grade using General comments (written or audio), Rubrics and QuickMarks.
The Adding Students to Group feature in Aula can also be used for the allocation markers. Using the groups allows the Student Submission List to be filtered by individual marker. For guidance see: Allocating marking of assignments directly in Aula [Aula help article]
Each Aula module space includes an Educator area. This is accessed in the Journey area and is a private space just for staff associated with this specific Aula space. As well as providing a space for staff communication, private from students, it has been populated with links for moderation templates. This area is where module leaders will provide their assessments, evidence of moderation and marking for external moderation. For guidance on moderation policies see section Moderation of Assessed Work [CU Assessment Policy]
The manual assignment function in Aula allows grades that have been generated outside of Aula to be imported. This ensures all grades are available to students through Aula and the Export Grades to Universe function can be used.
Grades are exported to Universe through the Student Success App using the Assessment Items. In using the Student Success App it is important to understand the difference between Assignments and Assessment Items.
Before grades can be exported the relevant Assignments need to be mapped to the Assessment Item, this will mean that once grading has been completed the marks will be linked from the Assignment to the Assessment Item.
