Learner Work Transfer (LWT) A Level Geography Digital Sample Submission Guidance for Independent Investigation (9GE0/04) Contact Information To contact our assessment or teaching support teams, please use the Support Portal and select the relevant support categories. February 2022 All the material in this publication is copyright © Pearson Education Ltd 2022 Introduction This document provides guidance on how sample of students’ work for A Level Geography, Independent Investigation, paper 04, should be submitted to Pearson Edexcel for the purpose of moderation. Learner Work Transfer (LWT) At Pearson Edexcel, we have developed a new digital Learner Work Transfer portal (LWT) . This new system will enable centres to upload/submit their sample for moderation electronically. All centres have access to this new system via their Edexcel Online account. Centre’s allocated Moderator will also have access to the same system which will enable them to view students’ work instantly. What has changed? Starting summer 2022, centres will have to upload digital copies of student’s work, for the purpose of moderation, to LWT instead of posting it. This is the only change being introduced. Centres should NOT send sample of students’ work via post for moderation anymore. NEA (Independent Investigation work) There is NO change to the way centres and students conduct their investigation and collate their written evidence ready to send to Pearson Edexcel to be moderated. All processes and forms stay the same and so are the requirement for student and teacher signatures. When do I submit my sample? The coursework submission deadline is 15 May 2022. This is the same deadline as in all previous years. Do I still need to submit marks awarded by centres on Edexcel Online? Yes, you do. There are two processes: 1. entering the marks you awarded to ALL your students on Edexcel Online by 15 May 2. uploading your selected sample students’ work (NEA) to LWT by 15 May. What documents do I submit on LWT? For each sampled/selected student, centres are to submit the teacher marked and annotated coursework, the Geography Independent Investigation form and Geography Independent Investigation Mark Sheet. How do I prepare my sample? Any of the approaches listed below are acceptable and both options are digital. As before, you are only required to submit the named (pre-selected students) sample of your cohort’s work. If the pre-selected sample does not include your highest and lowest scoring students, then they need to be added (the video guidance will show you how to add students to the sample) . Option 1: Scanning Students submit their work printed as hard copy, similar to previous years, and you scan and then upload the requested sample (most photocopiers have a scanning function that save documents as pdf) . 1. Students submit their final coursework to you as hard copy. 2. You and your colleagues mark and annotate your students’ work by hand as usual. 3. The Mark Sheet and the Independent Investigation forms to be completed as Word document and signed by both the teacher and the student electronically (electronic signatures are acceptable from now!) . 4. For the students named in the sample, scan their marked and annotated coursework and save as pdf. 5. Upload all three files (the coursework and the two forms) on LWT for a student and repeat for all students in the sample using the file naming convention below. Option 2: End-to-end digital 1. Students submit their final coursework electronically as an un-editable Word document (or even better a Word document converted to pdf) . 2. You and your colleagues mark and annotate your students’ digital work using annotation/marking tools and save (and preferably converted to pdf) . 3. The Mark Sheet and the Independent Investigation forms to be completed as Word documents and signed by both the teacher and the student electronically (electr
