New process introducedĪs a result, we have implemented a new submission process: UCL ISD and Digital Education are investigating the feasibility of an increase in the size of submissions for Moodle as part of development work happening over summer 2020. Moodle also does not allow for zooming in or blind second marking. Moodle allows for 160 MegaByte (MB) files (100MB if using the Turnitin plug-in), yet some portfolios can be upwards of 1 Gigabyte (GB) or larger if especially they contain video files. I am absolutely delighted by the seamless and generous collaboration between our academic and professional services colleagues that has enabled us to pioneer a submission and marking process that aligns perfectly with UCL’s digital infrastructure.”īarbara Campbell-Lange, Director, The Bartlett School of Architecture Building on Moodle capability The design portfolio is essential to architectural education, as well as other artistic disciplines. The move to remote education as a result of the coronavirus pandemic has allowed us to rethink education across the board, specifically how the design portfolios are submitted and assessed. Adapting to remote educationĭesign portfolios have been historically submitted in hard-copy format so that students have a hard copy to show employers, and so that staff and external examiners are able to intimately negotiate the physicality of the work. Students spend a great deal of time on the curation of the presentation, and naturally, this can get quite large (both physically and digitally). The portfolio is the summation of their work, drawing together multiple projects, and even making a connection to learning in other modules and extracurricular work. Responding to briefs, students work through multiple iterations of their work with support from staff and their peers.

The featured image showcases an example of work created by one of our students, S onia Margdziarz, MA Architecture. With the switch to remote teaching and assessment, and a cap on the size of files that can be uploaded to Moodle, a group of teaching staff set out to find a protocol that would allow for the submission and assessment of large portfolios. Design studio - where students produce a portfolio of their project work - is a core part of architectural education, central to nearly all of our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
