Animations & Interaction

The Leeds Beckett University website occasionally uses animations to page elements and animated gifs to add impact to pages. If you wish to stop them from playing for accessibility purposes or for personal preference then please see the guidance below. Please note that browsers sometimes change how they operate, so please refer to your browser help files to find their latest information.
How do I turn off animations?

Chrome

Chrome users will need to use browser extensions. Animation Policy from Google will help you set your own preferences.

Microsoft Edge

There is currently no way to disable animations within Microsoft Edge. Users of Edge (Chromium) browser can install the Chrome extensions above and use them.

Internet Explorer

To stop animations on a single page you can just press the 'Esc' key. This will stop the animation on that page. If you wish to restart the animations you need to refresh the page. To permanently disable the playing of animated GIF images, open Internet Options > Advanced tab. Under the Multimedia section, uncheck the Play animations in webpage check-box, click Apply and Exit and then restart your computer.

Firefox

Type about:config in Firefox address bar and hit Enter to open Settings. Search for the image.animation_mode flag and change its value from Normal to None. Once you restart Firefox this will disable animations.

Navigating marking tasks

There are three marking tasks to manage are:

Needs marking: submissions that haven't been graded yet, listed oldest first.
Needs posting: grades you've entered but haven't released to students yet. Usually the Module lead will post marks.
Needs reconciliation: grades from delegated or parallel marking that are ready for a final decision. This only appears if your course uses one of those grading modes.

You can access assessments from the main menu in MyBeckett:

Activity Stream
Calendar
Marks

Activity Stream view - Marks and Feedback

Calendar view - Due dates

Marks view - All modules overview with assessments and marking status

Marks in the main menu of MyBeckett shows an overview list of all modules and any assessments will shown per module that you are enrolled. Select from the list or view all work if not visible.

Navigate to a module and Grade Centre to use the new To Do button, this is visible within both Grade Centre grid or list views (top right). Any actions such as Needs Marking and Post Marks is indicated by the notification method of showing the number of actions per task to do.

TO Do button with an indicator within Grade Centre Grid and List view will take you tot he Needs Marking and New=eds Posting panel

The To Do notification will show Needs Marking and Post Marks for all assessments - please do not use for Turnitin to post marks (see important note below)
Selecting the To Do notification option is a quick method of navigating the Grade Centre views and will take you to the assignments with task specific functions of either the Needs Marking section and the Posting marks and feedback. Please note this information is only applicable for Blackboard Assignments, Tests, marked Journals and Discussions.
Check the due date has passed and all submissions are marked before posting marks.

**IMPORTANT NOTE: This option (To Do notifications) is not intended for Turnitin Assignments

If you post the marks for Turnitin assessments via the To Do button it will not overwrite the setting in Turnitin Feedback Release Date - therefore students will only see their marks not the feedback.
The Feedback Release Date continues to automatically control the visibility of both Marks and Feedback for Turnitin Submissions.
Please also be aware that there is a known issue with Turnitin and Grade Centre Syncing and is not a true reflection of needs marking - please continue to open the Turnitin inbox for a true reflection of the items to mark and submission data.

You can sort the columns to organise by priority such as by Marking Status.

a. Within Grade Centre List view, sort the column for Marking Status by clicking the name, this will reorganise the column quickly to display. NB: Not to be used for Turnitin assignments.
