Accessing student submissions (External examiner guide)

The Gradebook allows instructors to quickly access submissions, review and manage assessments, search, add or download marks. External examiners may need to access Gradebook to view student samples, feedback and notes.

Watch the video to learn about navigating the Gradebook.

When you select the Gradebook option in the Course toolbar, you’ll see there are four views or tabs: Overview, Markable items, Marks and Students. As an external examiner, you can choose whichever view you prefer. However, the Marks view is very useful as it allows you to ‘Filter’ by individual student or by groups. We’ll have a look at each view below.

The Overview option provides a snapshot of assessment items that need marking or posting in the module.

Open

Under Markable Items you see a list of all of the assessments in the course.

Clicking on an assessment item name will take you to the Submissions view of that assessment, which displays a list of all students' submissions.

Marks view is very useful as it allows you to filter by individual student or by a group. If the module team has created Student Sample groups, choose this view to find the submissions you need to look at.

In the Marks view, you’ll see a list of all the students in the first column and a column for each of the assessments in the course. When you click on the text box beside a student’s name a drop-down menu of options will display.

Open

Clicking View takes you into the submission with the feedback and marking tools.

Open

In Marks view you have an additional Filter function.

Open

Click on Filter to open the Filter panel, which allows you to search your students and submissions according to particular criteria:

Here you can filter the Gradebook by:

• Students - look for a specific student

• Groups - Similar to the old ‘Smart Views’ where you can simply filter by the preset groups in Ultra you have been tasked to mark

• Markable Items - filter by one specific assessment (Markable item)

• Assessment Type - Formative or Summative

• Assessment Category - You can set these on assignments when you are setting them up.

Open

If Students Groups have been set up in this module, you can filter by Groups as well as filtering by a specific student.

Watch the video to learn how to filter by Student Groups in Marks view.

Under Students you will see a list of all the students enrolled in the module.

Click on the Student’s name to see their marks in each assignment.
