Evidence and accreditation reports
Where assessment results come from, and how they become attainment against your benchmark.
Most evidence arrives on its own. Faculty build assessments with Lecon inside your LMS and grade students against the program’s rubric there, and the rubric levels come back here as evidence for each program outcome. What no LMS graded can be recorded by hand.
Grading, and when it counts
- Marking is iterative, so grading does not post as it goes. Saving keeps a draft in Lecon; nothing reaches the gradebook and nothing counts as evidence yet.
- Finalise posts each score to the gradebook and counts it as the programs’ evidence. An instructor can finalise one student again after regrading them.
- Until a grade is finalised, no report shows it. Neither a student nor an accreditor should see the middle of someone’s marking.
Evidence
Quality assurance → Evidence lists what has come back, by program, by term, and by whether the assessment was formative or summative. Until faculty have finalised something, it says so plainly rather than showing an empty chart.
Evidence judged outside the LMS
Not everything is marked in a gradebook: a panel reviews a portfolio, a licensure exam comes back, a practicum is rated on paper. Record evidence manually takes those — the outcome, the course, the term, whether it is formative or summative, the rubric, and what each student reached. It is labelled as entered by hand and sits alongside the LMS line for the same outcome rather than replacing it.
- List the students a panel judged, one row each, and choose the level they reached on every criterion. The page adds up what that means for the outcome as you go.
- The name and the student ID on each row are optional. They are kept so a judgement can be traced back later; they never appear in a report, and only people who may already open student work can see them.
- Evidence that came from your LMS never carries names at all — it arrives as counts.
Reports
Reports turn that evidence into attainment of each program learning outcome against its benchmark: the share of students at or above the rubric’s benchmark level, averaged across its criteria and weighted by the students each course assessed. Formative results show progress along the way; a PLO is judged on summative evidence.
- Choose one program or all of them, and one term or all terms.
- Each outcome shows its summative and formative figures, the benchmark it is held to, how much evidence sits behind it, and a status — met, below, or awaiting evidence.
- Print-friendly version produces the document itself, which is generally what goes into an accreditation submission.
- The benchmark comes from the rubric used. Where a rubric carries none, the institution’s attainment target applies, under Settings → Curriculum mapping and framework.
