Description

Considering (re-)integrating in‑person assessments into your course? This webinar introduces Odyssey, UWaterloo’s exam management system, which supports the scheduling, printing, and administration of written exams. Participants will explore how Odyssey integrates with Crowdmark, a collaborative, page‑by‑page grading platform that supports question types such as written‑response and auto‑graded multiple‑choice questions. The session will also share practical strategies for efficient marking and effective TA coordination in Crowdmark, and highlight how Crowdmark connects with LEARN to synchronize class rosters and seamlessly transfer grades. Opportunities for Q&A will be provided throughout.

Please note: this session will be recorded.
