Before assessing

Before assessing learners, please make sure the following has been done:

• Set up the correct permissions in roles. Learn more about roles.
• The tasks you would like to assess have been tagged. Learn more about tagging.
• An assessment report has been created. Learn more about assessment reports. 
• The learners have completed/submitted their work.

The assessment process depends on the type of assessment you have set up.

How do I assess learners' quiz assessment?

The assessment process for this is automatic.

Step 1

Go to Assessment > Assess learners.

Step 2

You will now be able to see the learner's scores. 

Quizzes will be automatically marked upon submission. The results will show on the Assess Learners page almost immediately. 

 

Step 3

If the assessor wishes to rescore the quiz, they can still manually do so by clicking on the drop-down arrow next to the title of the quiz, then select Rescore the quiz

If assessors need to check corrections or hold off on releasing quiz results for a learner, they can also manually Retract all results from the same section.

 

Step 4:

Click on Release to make the results available to the learner.

Note that: If a quiz has multiple attempts, and the assessor has already released the results, and the learner attempts the quiz for the 2nd time:

• The score of the 2nd attempt will be reflected immediately in Assess Learners

• The assessor will have to re-release the report for the quiz report to reflect the changes

 

Learn about how learners see the results from their end.

How do I assess learners' criterion-referenced assessment?

Step 1

You can assess learners from the Assess Learners page located under Assessment in the sidebar. 

Step 2

On this page, you will see a table of all your learners, organised by reports

Each entry shows how much of that learner's report has been graded. Select one of the entries to begin the assessment.

 

Step 3

Inside there will be a list of criteria. 

   

Step 4

When you click on criteria, it will expand to give you details on what and how to evaluate.

This should include evidence of learning which is represented by a tagged collection of learner work. If no learner work appears, check that the related activities have been tagged correctly. Learn more about outcome tags.

  If a due date for the task was set up, and a learner submitted it late, this will be marked like this:

The assessor has the option to waive the overdue status:

... and/or perhaps adjust the score due to lateness:

Step 5

As you evaluate each criteria, the total score at the bottom of the page will be adjusted to reflect the changes.

Below the total score is a comment box where assessors can include qualitative feedback. 

    

Step 6

Once an assessor has finished evaluating the desired learner(s), they can release the results via the Release button on the learners' list.

Results can be released immediately. There are also options for releasing each learner report manually.

Step 7

When you release a report, the report results become accessible to the learner. The learner will receive a notification that their results are available. They can then access their report results from the notification or their progress page.

How do I export assessment results?

Step 1

Go to Assessment > Assess students and click on the Export button above "Student Reports".

 

Step 2

Choose your export format. We recommend "Summary of results" for the simplest export format. Click OK.

  

 You can also export in "Raw scores" if you wish to further scale and manipulate scores outside the platform. 

Using a "Raw scores" format also allows you to import adjusted scores from outside the platform.   

 

---

Note: Should a learner lose internet connection during an exam, OpenLearning has prepared some tips for them to follow here. We advise assessors to ask the learners to provide evidence of their submissions (such as a screenshot or a file). It is up to the course staff to determine whether they allow upload/re-submit and re-assess the exam.
