About Import Baselines

The Import Baselines function enables authorised users to import ‘MIS import files’ from the Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring (CEM) at Durham University and GL Assessment. The function has been designed to create markbook tasks which can then be viewed in Mark Inquiry. You can select which aspects of the individual assessments you would like to import into markbooks.

Note: Before any baseline result files can be imported, at least one task type linked to the Baseline Task Profile must be created.
