6 Step 3 Select the particular task that you want to mark. There are different procedures for marking depending whether the task is EDITOR, UPLOAD or TEACHER MANAGED Teacher Managed Assessment Tasks Most of these tasks will be paper-based and it is probably more efficient to initially correct these tasks in the conventional way. However, as a comment is part of the assessment feedback, you may or may not decide to include a comment on the student s paper task. Once you have determined the marks or grades for all or some of the students, you are ready to enter the assessment details into. If you have all the results, select: Status Update Quick Entry Page 6 of 8

7 If you have some of the results, select: Specific students Update Quick Entry For each student, enter: Grade Comment Update when finished Student Uploaded Assessment Tasks Only students who have uploaded their document files can be assessed. These students will have submitted and Mark next to their names. The most efficient method of assessing these files is to download these files onto your laptop.

Select Quick Entry (to enter grades and comments on a screen where all students are displayed at once) or enter details one student at a time by selecting Mark next to the student s name. For each student, enter: Grade Comment Select Update when finished. Editor Assessment Tasks When students submit a task whose submission type is EDITOR, the teacher will be able to see the text which has been submitted on screen. This type of submission would be appropriate for tasks where the students are required to provide brief answers to a fairly small number of questions or to compose some text based on stimulus material. The procedure for assessment is almost identical to assessing uploaded tasks (above) except there is no requirement to open or download submitted files. The student s responses will be available on screen within. Page 8 of 8
