Step 1: Accessing the Grading Tool

  1. Locate the discussion forum that needs to be graded.

  2. Click on the assignment name. This will open the forum home which will display:

    1. The instructions
    2. The list of threads that students have created.
  3. Click “Grade users”. This will open the grading screen which will display:

    1. All the posts each user has made

    2. Any rubric(s) that have been created for this forum.

      Note: If a rubric has not been created for this forum, it can only be graded. Feedback cannot be provided. Therefore, it is recommended that a rubric is created for forums.

    Important: Often when first entering this screen, the selected user will be ourselves. Use the left and right toggle in the right grading menu to navigate to students.

Step 2: Grading the Forum

To grade each student:

  1. Review the posts by scrolling up and down on the left display (the most recent post appears on the top).
  2. Click into the rubric to automatically assign a grade and provide whatever feedback is needed.
  3. Under “Notifications” click: “Yes, send notification to students”. This will notify students they have a new assigned grade.
  4. Navigate to the next student by clicking the right arrow next to the current student’s profile image and name.

When complete, click Save and then Close.
