Use Shared marks to allow graders to build a single total mark pr candidate, as opposed to Individual marks

Why?

Use Shared marks when graders want to collaborate on building a single total mark pr candidate. Use this option to allow the graders to split the marking of submissions on questions level. Graders jump directly to final grading and share marks and grades. This mode is very useful if graders wants to split marking of questions, e.g. one grader marks question 1 and 2 and another grader marks question 3 and 4. The total marks is then the sum of the two graders marks.    

The Shared Marks Workflow consists of several components

Working with shared marks (Graders)

When Collaborative Marking has been activated on the test, graders can simply start marking. 

  • By default, all graders can mark and grade all candidates and all questions
  • Your Grading is automatically bypassed
  • Distributing questions to mark is done by using the Grade Filters
  • All marks and grades can be overridden by all graders
  • The Grading Event log displays the history of all marked items

Distributing questions to mark among graders

 With shared marks, graders can choose to "divide the pile" of submissions between them. 

Example:

A test with 4 questions is due for marking: 

  • Grader 1 will mark question 1 and 2.
  • Grader 2 will mark question 3 and 4


Step by step guide - Grader 1

  2. In the candidate list, select any candidate in the list

     

  3.  On the candidate page, select Filters   (Learn more about Grade Filters)

     

  4. In the filter menu, select Question number

     
     
  5. In the dropdown menu, select questions to mark. In this example, question 1 and 2. This will hide all other questions for all candidates.
