The various forms of assessment; feedback, grades, comments, approvals, can be managed individually or collectively to hold, release and recall from learners.
Feedback status
Feedback added to a submission by an assessor can have one of two statuses:
- Unreleased - only visible to assessors viewing via ATLAS.
- Released - also visible to learners viewing via Pebble+.
Released feedback cannot be edited or deleted, but it can be recalled - returning it to an unreleased state. While unreleased, the feedback can be edited or deleted.
The workspace manager controls if an assessor can release and recall feedback in a workspace.
Manage by block
Feedback can be added on a page at a block level for:
These can be held and released individually, block by block, when saved by choosing:
- Save & Hold
- Save & Release
If held, the feedback can be released later by:
- Click the 3 dot menu on the feedback post
- Click Release feedback.
Manage by page
Where a page contains one or more assessor fields, you can collectively save all changes made in one action. This will place all feedback on the page in the same state - either unreleased or released.
To save:
- Complete multiple assessor fields on the page without saving.
- Click the Assessor field actions button at the top of the page.
- Choose Save & Hold/Release
Changes made to a page must be saved before moving to another page.
Manage by submission
All feedback added to a submission, including all blocks and all pages, can be managed in one action. This can also be done for one, a group, or all submissions in an assignment.
The submission list gives a summary of which submissions contain unreleased assessment yet to be visible to learners.
To manage:
- Go to the workspace submission list.
- Choose the assignment from the list (if multiple are enabled)
- Tick one, several or all submissions to manage.
- Click the Manage feedback button.
- Choose Release feedback to the authors and click Continue
- Tick the feedback types to release
- Click Release feedback.
