Upload Manual Package (UWE academics)

The manual packages area within the External Examiner tool is an area where files and samples can be uploaded to be seen by the External Examiner. Anything uploaded to the manual packages area will automatically be shown to the External Examiner in their External Examiner tool in Blackboard.

To add a sample or file, a member of the module teaching staff will need to create a package by adding a package name, short description and then attaching the relevant files. Once a package has been created, a member of the module teaching team can edit/add to or delete the package if required.

Note: For sample recordings made in Panopto the External Examiner notes section can be used to paste links – See External Examiner Notes guidance.
