Highlights for this release include:
Delegated Grading improvements
Instructors sometimes distribute the grading workload for an assessment to multiple graders. This is a popular practice in larger classes. Instructors can assign graders to groups of students with the new delegated grading option. Each grader only sees the submissions made by students in the group(s) assigned to them.
Now instructors can also use delegated grading in combination with anonymous submissions and tests.
Attempt logs for Assessments
Attempt logs can help understand how and when a student accessed an assessment item and how many tasks they completed.
Attempt logs are available for both Tests and Assignments and will allow you to view the following
Information for Tests:
- Detailed information, including the date and time of the start and answers to each question
- Question-specific details, such as question number, a preview of the question, and estimated time spent on each question
- Submission receipt number, final grade, and attempt grade
- Easy toggling between all in-progress and submitted attempts for comprehensive assessment tracking
Information for Assignments:
- Start and submission date and time
- Submission receipt number
- Toggling between different attempts for a holistic view
For anonymous assessments, the report becomes active after grades are posted, and the anonymity is lifted.
