EMA Integration: Blackboard Column Mapping Error/Warning Report – Integrated points possible value does not match the weighted points possible value

Assessment & FeedbackManaging Assessment

Error shown in the Blackboard Column Mapping Error/Warning Report:

Property Integrated Points Possible Weighted Points Possible
EMA red warning icon WCPP 76 100

Error – the integrated points possible value does not match the weighted points possible value.

What does this mean?

This relates to Weighted Total columns in Blackboard which have been created by the EMA Integration – i.e. Weighted Total columns where the name is prefixed with [IC].

The error indicates that

  • The source column(s) – i.e. the column(s) to which the Weighted column is mapped – have a different possible points value to what is specified in RISIS
  • and/or the Points Possible has been changed in RISIS, but not updated in Blackboard
  • and/or the Weighted column has been incorrectly mapped.

Action to take

If the Points Possible in Blackboard is wrong for one or more Grade Centre columns, you should correct this.

If the Points Possible has been changed in RISIS, but not updated in Blackboard, please follow this procedure: Changing the Points Possible for a Weighted Total column

If you are unsure of how to proceed, or if the Points Possible in RISIS is wrong, please log a ticket with it@reading.ac.uk before taking any action.
