Prerequisites for testing Version 0.1

Configure your account

The following requirements apply to users participating in beta: 

• Planner system role required
• User ID added to account setting ENABLE_BETA_GRADING_20_USERS. This is configured by Inspera for each approved beta participant.

Pick the right tests

The following requirements apply to test content and settings:

• Grader collaboration: Individual marks
• Manual marking: Maximum marks (Banded marks and criteria marks not supported)
• Sections: No random pulling of questions from section (Random order supported)
• Section stimulus not showing

Manage your expectations

Version 0.1 is focused on single user marking workflow and many features are still in development. In addition, several available beta 0.1 features have limited functionality. For example, the Candidate lists only includes a few columns and filtering is still not possible. Since the list of unavailable features in the version 0.1 is longer than the list of available features, we recommend a quick review of the Feature list. Any graders invited to your tests should also be informed about these limitations. 

On a high level, the following core functionality is not in version 0.1 scope:

• Annotation / Feedback to students
• Criteria marking / Banded marking
• Confirming marks and grades
• Committees / Grading management 
• Explanations 

The tool is live and connected

As a general disclaimer, we would like to remind you that any marks or grades edited in the beta tool, is indeed updated on the server and applied to candidate results. Mark live exams at your own risk. 

Step by step Guide

The Grading 2.0 tool is enabled pr test, and when enabled the new tool behaves like an extension of the existing tool for both planners and graders. Grading 2.0 can be enabled on tests with any status (from drafts to graded). 

1 - Enable Grading 2.0 on your test

1. In Setup, scroll down to the last settings category
2. Select Enable graders on this test to try out the new grading tool

2 - Add yourself or a colleague as grader on the test

Beta version 0.1 is focused on essential marking and grading only. Planners have, as in the existing grading tool, only read-permissions for setting marks and grades, so to really test the tool, you need to be a grader assigned to the specific test. 

Assigning graders are done in the regular way

3 - Make your test Ready for grading

Before proceeding, make sure that your test meets the following requirements: 

• One or more candidates have submitted 
• End time has passed

4 - Open test in grading and select Try new Grading - Beta Version 0.1

The new tool will now open in an overlay.
