Elements Assessment Module Guide

'Bulk uploading' is the term Elements gives to uploading data into the assessment module via CSV. Bulk uploading allows Unit Managers to upload many selections, scores, reviews and overall scores at one time, as opposed to inputting output scores etc one at a time into an author's exercise. 

A Unit might choose to bulk upload their data if they wish to collate their review data on a spreadsheet outside of Elements and periodically upload the data into the system. Uploading data in this way means Units don't have to ensure their authors/reviewers are trained on how to access/use the assessment module. 

To complete a bulk upload, Unit Managers download the relevant bulk upload CSV from the Management area of the assessment module, add to or edit the information, then reupload it. 

Please watch the video below for instructions on how to complete a bulk upload. If you would like to schedule an in-person session to cover bulk uploading, please contact rqi@sussex.ac.uk

The slides used in the video are linked below the video. Slide 6 contains instructions and links to find the ID numbers (for users and publications) required to complete a bulk upload.
