How would students do this? This also feels like a bit of a trick question, because technically you can copy and paste sections of previous work, so long as you use these as quotations and reference them correctly. We should also advise why using yourself as a citation is a bad idea (i.e. that part of what you're assessed on is your knowledge of the scholarship on a topic - it'd makes more sense to devote that space in your essay to engaging with the ideas of others than points you may have made in previous assignments)

Do we need to clarify here that having a fellow student read through your essay to check your spelling or that your ideas make sense is allowed? I.e. the collusion is only if that fellow student then copies your work

It's not really clear to me what this means in this context - can we provide examples of the "advantages" that you might give yourself? I imagine some students might think of using some plagiarism tools/AI etc. as merely levelling the playing field or just enabling you to keep up if you're struggling. It's a little bit like the distinction between "privilege" in the sense of white people not having to experience racist microagressions and "privilege" in the sense of having extreme wealth and high-profile connections.

On the "Examples" slide, the outlines are in the old style - do these need updating?
-
On the Presentation trio, there's a slight whisker of the purple circle visible Also, the hover state seems to be glitching a bit when I move my mouse over the circles

Make the buttons on "The process" slide more consistent. Also is the title on this slide the right font style? I think should be Open Sans Semibold?

Button for "click here to try another scenario" should be like the new button format you suggested :)
-
On the activity, can we do something other than change the outline on the buttons from yellow to purple? e.g. invert colours? And is the red/orange/green box outline for the answers accessible for those with colour blindness?
-
On "Audience and purpose", the instructions say to select your scenario and click submit, but when you click the scenario, it just takes you there anyway (no need to click submit!). It would be good if a tick animation could appear in the box need to the selected scenario, and if that tick could stay there when users return to the page (i.e. if they try another scenario, they can see which one they've done already)

When we've had confirmation about the new title slide, this can be updated :)
-
This is a minor punctuation thing, but I'd put a comma after "well thought-out"

Do check about the placement of the UoM logo - I think the distance between the top of the page and the start of the logo should be a bit wider?

The image isn't showing for me. Should this text be in the centre as well?
