Instead of downloading new files for hybrid scripts, PSS can simply use the first batch of exam scripts already downloaded. These files already have the LSE candidate number appended to their filenames, making it easy to identify and share individual scripts with the First Marker.  Once outside Digiexam, these hybrid scripts can be treated as paper exams and follow local offline marking process. |

Using the previously downloaded grading spreadsheet, PSS can identify students with LON status by locating their assigned anonymised Digiexam identifier (e.g., Student 1, Student 2). The grading spreadsheet lists each student's name alongside their identifier, allowing you to cross-reference and determine which students have an LON. Using the Digiexam anonymised anonymous identifier for students with LON status ensures that anonymity is preserved throughout the process. If required for marking, these identifiers may be shared with the marker to facilitate the grading of students with LON.  Students with LONs who have completed hybrid scripts can be marked either online using the Digiexam identifier or offline using LSE candidate number. |
