How do I assess learners?

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.
  • Please make sure that you are able to see the Assessment tab in your course’s sidebar. The Assessment tab will appear to a Course Admin, Assessor and Assessment Designer


The assessment process depends on the grade items you have set up.

Go to Assessment > Assess learners.

 On this page, you will find a table listing all your learners organised by their reports. Click on "Not graded" or "score" to access the detailed outcomes report.

Inside, there will be a detailed report.

1) Outcomes report name displayed here.  
2) Learner name displayed here.  
3) Click the evaluation criteria to expand the report. Use the assessment type to score the criteria.

 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:

 


Once an assessor has finished evaluating the desired learner(s), they can release the results via the Release button on the learners' list. There are also options for releasing all results.

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.

 


The assessment process for this is automatic.

Go to Assessment > Assess learners.

 

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.  You will see "Not attempted" if the learner hasn't done the quiz yet.

      Hi....for the group work, how do we assess the group work by assessing ONLY ONCE? and the marks are all goes the same to the other group member? Perhaps just give marks to the admin of the group only and the same marks will appear to all its respective members.

      If not, I have to do marking for every individual student (like doing the marking for the individual task) and its really kill my time to do the assessment. Thank you.

        adiirfan Hi there! Any group assignment submitted by one member of the group counts towards all the other members of that group. So you only have to grade the one assignment.

        Omnaya Omar Many thanks for the reply. I have set the task as group task. But when come to assessment, I have to do it for individual student. "Any group assignment submitted by one member of the group counts towards all the other members of that group" - it works for some group, and some group not works; I have no idea why this is occurred, since the student give this feedback to me.

        When I give marks to the group task in one particular student, the marks given doesn't reflect to the other group member screen. 

        In doing marking, I click menu like this flow i.e. Assessment-Asess Students-Student name. When I mark the group task, it only reflect for that particular student, not the whole group member. I have set for all students "Assess Me" button. 

        Kindly advise the specific steps to do this.

        Alenka Prezelj Many thanks, Indeed I have set up the task correctly since the very beginning, as per the image below.

        Link to the page: https://www.openlearning.com/courses/motorcycle-convoy/tips_from_others/

        But the marking still goes to the individual students.

        In the screen "Assess Students", I have marks 1 student named Muhammad Shafeeq (1/8 criteria graded; this is group task), but you can see the other member still 0/8 criteria graded. 

        Kindly advise.

        adiirfan  Hi there! After much discussion and investigation, I'm afraid I have to report that we don't have the functionality to assess as a group. The (manual) workaround is if the assessor has a list of groups and members, takes down a note of the group mark and searches for the other team members to allocate the same mark. We apologise for the inconvenience!
        Would you mind posting about this feature on our Suggest a feature page? We really appreciate it!

        Alenka Prezelj Okay noted with many thanks. It is still a manual way. It's okay then will suggest this feature to be developed by your dedicated team.
