USQStudyDesk Support

EASE is the new electronic assignment submission system developed as a plug-in to the new USQStudydesk (Moodle). EASE has been recommended as the default system to be used by course examiners who are going to have assignments electronically submitted by their students.

Please Note:

Before setting up EASE, course details need to be up to date in Sched (eg correct course examiner and moderator, correct Assessment piece name, correct Due Date).
Marker access can only be added if they have an official contract, have USQConnect access and also a USQ email address. This should be arranged as early as possible as it can take up to 5 days for USQ processes to occur.
