An announcement can only be edited while the date and time from when the announcement should be displayed, has not been reached, example if I set the announcement for 16:00 today, I will only be able to edit it until 15:59, thereafter I will only be able to delete the announcement.

Remember, you will only be able to delete announcements which you have created. If another lecturer in the same module has created an announcement, you will not be able to edit or delete their announcement!! You can ONLY delete your own announcements.

Note that when you set the release criteria for any tool, you have to Save TWICE! Otherwise you lose your settings. First you save when you set the criteria and then it displays on the screen and at the bottom of the page there is another Save button.

The University of Pretoria presents a three-day Assessment Workshop twice a year at the end of May and at the beginning of November. The workshop aims to enhance planning and conducting assessment practice. The following aspects are addressed:

• Principles of assessment and planning for accountable assessment;
• Accommodating learning styles in assessment and
• A variety of specific assessment methods.

The first day of the workshop addresses basic principles and planning for assessment and is compulsory. On the second and third days, a series of sessions on specific assessment methods (e.g. written exams, multiple choice questions, orals, practical exams, portfolios) is presented, and participants must attend at least four sessions.
