Hi..in response to how do we avoid compromising students in anonymous marking...we annotate the script..'please do not makr for gramar &
presentation'. As there as a number of dyslexic students who are really unidentifiable unless they bring it to our attention directly, this
seems to work quite well. Of course any other ideas will be valued. Hope this helps Val

Dear all,
I have been interested in the debate around the marking of dyslexic
student's work that's been going on recently. I am a newly appointed
Research Assistant at Sheffield Hallam University who has been employed to
research some of the issues around assessment in relation to disabled
students, one of the strands of this being about alternative assessment.
The particular question I wanted to pose however relates to anonymous
marking. At present a number of Schools at SHU have an anonymous marking
policy for all written work, but in order for a dyslexic student to have
their work marked in accordance with their learning contract (ie. that it
be marked for evidence of knowledge, intention, correct responses and
relevant thinking and not for standard written English - unless this is a
specific requirement of assessment) this anonymity is compromised. I
wondered if any-one had experience of this issue and how their particular
institution deals with it either at a formal or informal level?
