Choose an online assessment type

You can facilitate multiple markers by either using Group mode under Common module settings for Turnitin Assignment, Moodle Assignment and Video Assignment. Marking workflow is available for Moodle assignments.

We recommend using the Groups method as the Marking workflow method is more complex to setup and requires additional steps to release the final grades and feedback to students.

1. Students must first be added to groups. You can find out more about how to do this on our Manage groups guide.
2. In your assignment settings, scroll to Common module settings and set Group mode to Separate groups.
3. To save the assignment settings, click on the Save and Display button. You will then be taken to the assignment submission area page.
4. On the assignment submission area page, click on View all submissions.
5. You will then be taken to the grading page where you will be able to filter your students by group.

   

If you enable Marking workflow then marks will go through a series of workflow stages before being released to students. You can then use the Marking allocation feature to allocate markers to particular students.

1. When setting up your assignment under the Grade settings, set Use Marking workflow and Use marking allocation to Yes. (The Use marking allocation setting does not appear until you set Use Marking workflow to Yes.)
2. Scroll to the end of the assignment and select Save and display.

3. From the module page, click into the assignment and select View all submissions.
4. Scroll down the page and check the boxes alongside the students who you want to allocate to a specific marker.

4. Scroll down to With selected... and select Set allocated marker.
5. Select Go.

   

6. If a pop-up appears, select Ok.
7. Select your marker from the Allocated marker list of staff enrolled on the module and select Save changes.

   

8. The marker's name displays in the Marker column and this can be used to sort the submissions.
   • Alternatively, scroll down to the bottom of the page and select your name from the Marker filter.

To re-allocate the submissions to External Examiners

• Keep marking workflow enabled, set workflow back to "Marking in progress", allocate all assignments to the External Examiner. They will be able to change any previously awarded grades.

OR

•  Turn off marking allocation once the original marking has been done. This will allow the External Examiner to see all submissions rather than having to allocate them to each one. Make a record of which submissions the first marker graded in case the External Examiner asks them to remark or take another look.
• To turn off marking allocation, open the assignment settings > Grade and select No next to Marking allocation.

If Marking workflow is set to yes from within a Moodle assignment settings, and the marks have been released, the External Examiner cannot view the submissions unless marking allocation has been used.
