WISEflow for external examiners

One month after the marking (assessment) period has ended, all flows are automatically archived. Any archived flows can be found within the Reviewer's archive area.

You can filter students according to who marked them. You can either display all students or by selected markers.

Click on the "Filter assessors" button to start. 

When you click the "Filter assessors" button, you will be able to select and see all the assessors of this flow. Click on their initials shown to start filtering. The screenshot below shows three assessors selected. The students who were marked by them are listed below. 

 To deselect, click on the initials again. When no assessors are selected, all submissions are displayed as before.

Depending on the department you are working with, this process may defer. You will not be using WISEflow to handle final assessment approval.

To get access to WISEflow, you need to first have a Brunel network account (username and password) which is also associated with a Brunel email address. As part of your appointment, this will be created for you and passed on securely by the university's computing support department. 

 You may need to email the module leader to find out this information.

WISEflow uses Turnitin as a text matching service. The text comparison (percentage) will be visible to external and internal markers per default on the flow overview. The percentage appears in the participant list by each student id and also in the Assessor tool.

Clicking the percentage will open the Turnitin report in a new tab. If you need to learn more about how to use Turnitin, you may visit the following pages: 

• Interpreting the similarity score
• Submission indexing
• Excluding an individual source
• Re-including a source
• Excluding text from the Similarity Report
• Excluding content from the Similarity Report
• Bibiliography and quote exclusion definitions
• Excluding search repositories
• Viewing paper match details
• Flags

Remember that a high similarity score does not automatically mean that work has been plagiarised, nor is its findings exhaustive. There may be a number of perfectly legitimate factors contributing to a higher score. Guidelines for staff on handling suspected plagiarism can be found on your College's IntraBrunel site (the staff handbook is often a good starting point). 

You can access WISEflow technical support in Brunel via this website.
