Generic descriptors of the institution’s Graduate Attributes are automatically included inthe feedback form by default and can be edited during the design process, enabling theacademic to clearly articulate how the assessment task develops each attribute.Likewise, generic Grade Descriptors are included and can be edited by the academicso that performance characteristics required to achieve a particular grade can beclearly defined.The final step of Assignment Setup is to import a list of students. CAFAS has aninterface designed to enable the importation of data from various institutions whichinevitably have different standard formats for lists of students. At a minimum the listmust include first name, family name and email address in Comma Separated Value(CSV) format.At the end of the design process the academic can review the feedback form and emailit to him/herself (in HTML format) for distribution to students prior to the assessmenttask. As mentioned previously, this is an important function as it ensures that students,by seeing the feedback form that will be used to assess their work, will have a betterunderstanding of what is required of them for a particular assessment task.Computer Aided Feedback & Assessment System (CAFAS) 14
