Date: Tuesday, August 20, 2024 | 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM

Facilitators: Owen Wooding (Open Learning and Educational Support - OpenEd)

Description: One of the more daunting tasks with larger classes is grading hundreds or even thousands of assignments. A good grading team certainly helps lessen that load, however coordinating the grading team, determining who is grading which students, and avoiding mistakes is often a challenge. After a recent update, the dropbox tool now includes a Multi-Evaluator feature to assist with tasks like determining who can grade specific dropbox folders, distribution of grading assignments, and defining grader roles. This session focuses on this new Multi-Evaluator feature, including how it is accessed/activated, included options, and ways it can be utilized. In addition, we will also touch on other helpful grading tools such as Quick Eval for grading assignments across multiple courses, Rubrics for efficient and consistent grading, and how to keep your Gradebook clean and organized to reduce confusion for students and additional emails and questions for you as the instructor. 

Attendees of this session will be able to: 

• Locate and enable the new Multi-Evaluator feature in dropbox. 

• Utilize Multi-Evaluator to: 

  • Assign specific graders to specific dropbox folders. 

  • Assign graders specific students to assess at random or my section/group. 

  • Set roles for graders to determine who can grade, who can review, and who can publish. 

• Leverage Quick Eval to efficiently grade assignments across multiple courses. 

• Create and copy rubrics in CourseLink and use them for assessment to improve grading efficiency and consistency 

• Design a clean and organized gradebook using Manage Grades to reduce student questions looking for clarification about grades.
