Delegated grading assignments
Instructors sometimes distribute the grading workload for an assessment to multiple graders. This is a popular practice in larger classes. Instructors can assign graders to groups of students with the delegated grading option. Each grader will only see the submissions made by students in the group(s) assigned to them.
Delegated Grading can be used with all available group types. Tests, group assessments, and anonymous submissions are not supported at this time.
- At the moment you can only add delegated grading on individual assignments where students have to prepare their answer and submit a document (e.g. PDF or MS Word or Excel).
- Assessments that contains any other questions e.g. MCQ or essay will not allow to switch delegated grading on.
- You can add delegated grading after the assessment due date has passed.
- You need to have group sets created before you switch the delegated grading option on.
Process
This is the process that you will follow:
Change each group's name to that of the person responsible for marking that group's work.
After selecting the Delegated Grading option, select the appropriate Group Set. Instructors can assign one or more graders to each group in the group set. If multiple graders are assigned to the same group, they will share the grading responsibility for the group members.
a. This is where you add the setting:
b. This is how you allocate the markers:
Graders assigned to a group of students will only see submissions for those students on the assignment’s submission page. The graders can only post grades for their assigned group members. Any unassigned instructors enrolled in the course will see all student submissions on the assignment’s submission page. The unassigned instructors can also post grades for all students.
