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.

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.
