It explains how to make arrangements for them to access IT resources, including how to apply for an an IT account and how to arrange their access to Blackboard. How to arrange an IT account External Examiners can be given a University external user account. They will need this before being enrolled on to any relevant Blackboard modules. Full guidance on how to request a new account available here (login required): Request an External User Account Accounts can be requested\u00a0using the SailPoint IIQ website\u00a0\u2013\u00a0https:\/\/myid.reading.ac.uk\u00a0&gt; Create External. When you apply for a new account for an external examiner, you should choose the following: Visiting Reason: Visiting Staff-External Examiner Location: Non-Campus &#8211; This is important as otherwise the user will be unable to activate their account off-site! The system will set the account up in a way which means the user will not be forced to change their password on first login. They can then change their password using\u00a0https:\/\/password.reading.ac.uk\/ Please read the\u00a0IT support guides and FAQ\u2019s on\u00a0User Account Management\u00a0for\u00a0SailPoint IIQ before using the site. If you have any queries about setting up external accounts, please contact the Service Desk. How to enrol External Examiners on to Blackboard In order to access marked student work, External Examiners need to be enrolled on the relevant Blackboard modules. This can be done by any UoR staff who have the role of instructor or TA on the Blackboard module. External Examiners can be assigned the specific course role of \u2018External Examiner\u2019. Please see this guide for details on how to enrol people on to Blackboard. A guide to the role of External Examiner on Blackboard\u00a0describes what\u00a0a user with this role can and cannot do in a course. Our\u00a0Guide for External Examiners\u00a0provides guidance for the external staff on accessing assessed work in Blackboard. External Examiner organisations in Blackboard As well as enrolling External Examiners onto individual modules in Blackboard, it is recommended that Departments make use of an organisation to provide External Examiners with essential information, and as a way of sharing draft exam papers. Exams Officers or Senior Programme Administrators can\u00a0Request an Organisation\u00a0&#8211; please specify that it is for use by External Examiners, and it will be set up as a copy of a standard template.
