About Quick grading

This page will show you how to grade Video Assignment submissions and provide marks and feedback to students using Quick Grade.

Before you start to mark an assignment please ensure that you have hidden the grade item from students. When grades and feedback are ready to be released, unhide the grade item. This will ensure that students all receive their grades at the same time.
