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.

adiirfan Hi there, can you check this article and see if you have set up the task correctly? https://help.openlearning.com/t/k9gs98/how-do-i-set-up-group-submissions (Step 4)
If it does not work, please post (or send to us by email at support@openlearning.com) the link to the page with the task so we can take a closer look.
Thanks!

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! We're still looking into this, apologies for the delay. We'll be in touch shortly.
-
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.

Alenka Prezelj I have found in Suggest Feature topic here
I wish this feature (Group Assessment) would be available soon. Best OpenLearning.

adiirfan I agree with your group assessment feature suggestion.
