  1. Why is my class not converted automatically to VD1-AA as soon as it was made available?

  1. open a ticket through the Virtual Help centre for the assignee's change. This process is yet to be automated, but as OBE grows, we expect all these small processes to be automated. For the time being, we do understand that this is tedious, but we assure you that this will be resolved as soon as possible. We’d also like to stress that the Access Control in OBE is done as per who it is assigned to in GIMS.

Info

In case of further inquiry, please open a ticket with the Virtual Help Centre. Alternatively, you may choose to access APSpace > More > Help Centre for further guidance and support. This guideline is designed for you to help you in the process of opening a ticket.

    Right upon writing

...

  1. a ticket through Virtual Help Centre, we evaluate the changes that need to be done. However, in most cases, if any Marks entered in the system before the conversion, it will need to be wiped. This is due to the Assessment Scheme changes, the previous scheme (VD1) and the new scheme (VD1-AA).

  2. Can I use Safari or Internet Explorer to access OBE?
    No, the usage of Safari or Internet Explorer is not recommended. We will be restricting access for unsupported browsers soon. We highly suggest the usage of Firefox or Chrome.

  3. If our alternative assessment evolves with different criteria, then are we allowed to create another version of course descriptor for ongoing or future intakes?
    Yes, you may create a separate Course version for this case, and the new Course version can be used on future intakes. However, we do not recommend editing the Assessment Scheme Layout for an ongoing class.

  4. This section that's being discussed - adding a new course for this course. Do all lecturers have the access privilege to do this?
    Yes, all lecturers have the required permission to create the Course version. However, ONLY ALs should be creating the Course version.

  5. Is there any "Help" feature or Quick Reference available on how to execute each function Or in case there is a problem - Is there Help function available
    We do not have a "Help" button in the System, but you may use this Guide as our comprehensive guide on the System.

  6. If we change the total raw marks, it will reflect and wipe out from the previous data. What version should I put in the OBE? Say that it is VD1. Should it be changed to VD1.1 even no changes made in the MD?
    If you would like to change the Raw Marks for your Assessment Component, you may raise a ticket with us for the amendment - Change of Raw Mark does not need you to wipe the entire Marks Entry in the Class.

  7. Does OBE have all the Subjects updated?
    Yes, all Subjects are directly synchronized from GIMS. Hence, they are updated.

  8. Do I need to create a new Programme Map if I were to amend the map each time?

    Yes, we are in the work of removing all the Tutorial Classes from the View.

  11. Can Module Leaders access their respective subjects even though they are not teaching the module?
    Yes, however, we are working on a new set of Access Control for PLs to access the Marks efficiently. Please stay tuned.

  12. We will have to key in using VD1-AA or VD1?
    If your Class has adapted "Alternative Assessment", then your Class should be used "VD1-AA". Please liaise with your AL for further clarification.

  13. What happened to all marks that have been finalised if at all marks changes due to the moderation process? It could be an increase or decrease in marks.
    In this case, the Assessment Team will notify CTI on the Class's release for the amendment of the Marks.

    We are currently working on this implementation; this feature will be made available by the 1st quarter of 2021. Please stay tuned.

  15. May I know why the list of students not same as in attendance? Its either have extra or might not in the OBE list
    The main reason behind this is because either the Student was added or dropped in the middle of the Course. We are actively working on a solution for this.

  16. Let's say there were students who didn't attend any of the incourse and final exam so will the system accept the 0 marks?
    Yes, the System will allow "0" marks. This is the default mark.
