• Elements Essentials: REF2029 Assessments

  Thursday 21st November 2024

  These Assessment Module workshops run in two parts; please feel free to sign up to one part or both, depending on the session’s relevance to your role.

  For Authors & Reviewers 10:30-11:15

  Are you an author or reviewer who has been asked to input output reviews into the Elements Assessment Module? This workshop will provide the guidance you need to select your outputs and input self-reviews (authors) and input your reviews (reviewers).

  The sessions for Managers detailed below are scheduled immediately after the Authors & Reviewers sessions, and will continue in the same Zoom meeting, so you do not need to register for both if you intend to attend both on the same day.

  For Managers 11:15-12:00

  Are you an Assessment Module Manager for your UoA? This workshop will explain how to manage your UoA’s output selections and reviews, access reporting and complete bulk data uploads.
