Use Case 13

Summary

Faculty will upload assessments and assessment items that are not multiple choice - open-ended responses include short and long essays, fill in the blank, student drawings, etc. Student responses associated with multiple choice items and open-ended items will also be uploaded to the database. Responses will be uploaded at the assessment level, not the assessment item level.

Preconditions

A simple user-interface exists for faculty to upload assessments and student responses.

Basic Course of Events

Faculty member has an assessment in word format, ready for upload.
Faculty member has a pdf, word document, some other format, of student responses, ready for upload.
Faculty member logs into the database, identifies the course they wish to add the assessment to. S/he enters the required metadata associated with this assessment and then progresses to a menu asking them to locate the assessment to be uploaded.
After (or at the same time?) uploading the assessment, the faculty member is prompted to locate the file or files with student response data to upload.
The faculty member is asked if the student response data contains any open-ended responses (we will need to include a list of what these are). If s/he responds 'yes,' s/he must also agree that student responses have been read for identifying information and that all such information has been removed (see security or IRB/FERPA for further discussion).
