About online feedback and grading options

The online feedback and grading mechanisms require you to have consistent internet access. A summary of each option is provided below.

Grades and feedback can be entered directly on the Grading page for each student before saving and moving on to the next student.
Feedback files can also be added from the same screen.

A Marking record allows marking criteria to be set up in a table with a comment explaining what is expected from the student, and a maximum mark that can be awarded.
Personalised feedback and grades are added against each criterion and 'frequently added comments' can also be used.
A Marking record can support consistency in marking between different lecturers and make the marking process more transparent to students.
Students can view the Marking record before they submit their assignment.

A Rubric allows marking criteria to be set up in a table with descriptors.
A Rubric consists of a set of criteria plotted against levels of achievement. A numeric grade is assigned to each level. For each criterion, the lecturer chooses the level they judge the work to have reached.
A Rubric can support consistency in marking between different lecturers and make the marking process more transparent to students.
Students can view the Rubric before they submit their assignment, so that they know what their learning priorities are in relation to the assignment.

Quick grading is used to enter grades and feedback comments directly onto the Assignment Grading screen.
This is useful for providing short feedback paragraphs and grades in a single screen.
Quick grading is not recommended when there are multiple markers.
