Step 43: Grading Submissions

Since it’s only worthwhile to grade online if it’s at least (or almost) as fast as grading by hand on paper, we have spent a lot of time simplifying this function. We used a teacher who teaches 24 hours a week as a test subject. If it’s worth it for them to grade this way, then it should be worth it for everyone to learn – we thought (and rightly so).

Here’s what happens: the student submits their assignment, which is visible to the teacher on the Dashboard. The teacher clicks on the submissions, and then on the page that appears, they can use the Filter function to view all submissions at the given level or only the ones that have not yet been graded. By clicking on the submissions to be graded, an evaluation table appears at the bottom, and the grading functions are located at the top. We can underline anything in the text. After doing this, by clicking on the underlined section, we can type a short comment or note for each highlighted item.

Unfortunately, there are no English subtitles on the video.
