Sorting controls for manually added gradable Items
Sorting Controls enable instructors to organise the following information in the gradebook: Student name, Grade, Feedback, Post status in both ascending and descending order.
This order is only temporary and resets when you leave the page.
SafeAssign Direct Submit
Instructors can now use the Direct Submit option to submit assignments to SafeAssign under Books and Tools. There are two options – Upload File and Copy/Paste. (Add title and then paste text).
An Originality Report is generated. Submissions are added to the institutional database.
If adding materials, the plagiarism check should be turned off.
Submissions are private by default but can be shared with other instructors on the course.
Items can be searched by privacy or shared or All, Added or Not Added.
Instructors can organise entries by Name, Matching Score or Submission Date.
Delegated grading distribution by group membership
Instructors can assign graders to groups of students. Each grader will only see the submissions made by students in the group(s) assigned to them.
This is only for individual submissions and tests- group assessments and anonymous submissions are not supported.
Instructors can assign multiple graders to each group in the group set and share the grading responsibility for the group members.
Graders assigned to a group of students will only see submissions for those students on the assignment’s submission page and 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. They also post grades for all students.
To delegate randomly to course graders, first set up a randomised Group Set.
Partial credit auto-distribution for correct answers to Multiple Choice Questions
Instructors can award partial credit for Multiple-choice questions with more than one correct answer. Partial credit is given automatically across correct answers. Instructors can change the value to add more or less credit to particular answers but the value must come to 100%.
Last access course alert default set to 15 days
The default for the “Number of days a student is inactive” has changed from 5 to 15 days. The “overall grade percentage is below” can still be determined by the instructor. These alerts can be removed or adjusted.
