Specification Overview

E-Moderation – Summer 2019

GCSE Drama

(Component 1 - G9261) (Component 2 - G9262)

eCandidate Record Sheet (eCRS) Summer 2019

What is eCRS?

eCRS is an online application used to provide marks/comments and other required information to CCEA as part of the moderation process. Removes the need to complete hardcopy:

• candidate record sheets;
• OMR TAC1 form;
• TAC2 form (Internal Standardisation information/confirmation).

Provides the facility to:

• record candidates’ marks with automatic totalling;
• link teacher reference codes (e.g. teacher initials) with candidates;
• confirm internal standardisation has been carried out;
• confirm centre authentication of controlled assessment/coursework;
• capture signed confirmation from teachers and candidates to authenticate work;
• validate submissions.

Changes for GCSE Drama

Using eCRS for GCSE Drama components in Summer 2019

(Component 1 - G9261) – product type moderation

• Work of sampled candidates collected at centres from 8.30 am on 1 May 2019.
• Centres will use the eCRS application to submit the completed candidate record

sheets, confirm Internal Standardisation and candidates/teacher authentication.

• Deadline for submitting eCRS is 1 May 2019.

(Component 2 - G9262) - visiting moderation

• GCSE Moderation Visits: 4 March 2019 to 22 March 2019.
• Centres will use the eCRS application to submit the completed candidate record

Recommendations

 Get familiar with the eCRS process by reading the FAQs handout and referring to the E-Moderation microsite.  Agree who will be registered in your department and who will act as lead teacher. Registration will be available from mid-November 2018.  Get registered early by your Exams Officer so you can login and get familiar with the eCRS as soon as it is available.  Ensure any consortium arrangements have been registered with CCEA. This is to allow the correct candidates to be displayed onscreen.  Ensure all candidates are entered correctly and on time so you can access their eCRS.  Allow adequate time to complete and submit the eCRS in advance of the stated deadline.  Provide feedback on any suggested improvements.
