Article summary

To provide students with grades, you have to assign, edit, and post grades.

This is done on the Gradebook or from the Assessment itself.

Flexible grading

Details & Actions menu moved

This video might still display the Details & Actions menu on the left side of the screen - it has since moved to the right hand side. Click here to see what it looks like.

Your preference preserved

Instructors want to configure the grading interface according to their preferences. In flexible grading, instructors can collapse or expand the left panel (student cards) and right panel (feedback and rubrics). To provide a better user experience, the last used state is preserved in the browser.

Navigating between student attempts and across sessions provides a more efficient experience.

For detailed steps, refer to this document.

Using rubrics

Rubrics play a critical role in the grading process for many educators. Rubrics performance level descriptions are hidden by default. Instructors can choose to display the performance descriptions as needed for grading.

The rubrics grading interface stores the most recently used display option. This means that instructors who rely on performance level descriptions when grading don’t have to turn them on each time they navigate to grade another submission. The performance level display option preference is stored on a per-user per-assessment basis.
