Use of the Blue Card for Marking and Feedback is available to students with a Specific Learning Difficulty (SpLD), Autistic Spectrum Condition, or other cognitive processing challenges if it is agreed and confirmed in their Inclusive Support Plan (ISP).

The Blue Card for Marking and Feedback will usually be added automatically to assignments and exam papers. Where it is not such as for formative assignments, the video guide (below shows how to add it.
