Tips

Archiving exam scripts

Don’t forget to download student exam scripts for archival!

Turnitin isn’t a file repository, so make sure your school has copies of student exam scripts.

You can find information on how to do this on the Administering completed exams in Moodle page.

Kentplayer Video Captions

You can now add automated captions to KentPlayer recordings you’ve created.

Watch the video here to learn how to do this yourself; Adding captions to a video in KentPlayer
