Notes for staff
This page outlines how staff can support the new self-paced practice task system.
Practice Task System
The practice tasks are now self-paced and category-based rather than weekly. Students can access all tasks through the main tasks page.
Staff Role
Tutors can support this system by:
- Recommending relevant tasks: When topics in your lectures or workshops align with practice tasks, mention them to students
- Encouraging PsyBot use: Students can get instant AI feedback by uploading completed tasks to PsyBot
- Office hours support: Use your regular office hours to discuss practice work with students
- Feedback collection: Please forward any student comments about the system to Ben Whalley
Assessment Practice Tasks
The new Assessment Practice category contains tasks designed to provide formative feedback on elements of summative assignments. These tasks:
- Target specific skills needed for assessed work
- Provide AI-powered formative feedback
- Help students improve before submitting actual assignments
Monitoring Progress
You can see which tasks your tutees have completed via PsyBot submissions.
Login to Psybot (https://psybot.llemma.net/) and request a link to login.
If you are not recognised by the system, ask Ben Whalley to add you to the staff group.
