Marking and results

Information and links to a selection of guides that may be useful when it comes to marking student submissions and dealing with results.

Turnitin and Blackboard

Marking Turnitin and Blackboard Assignment submissions in an exam module should be no different to your live modules and you will be able to start marking student submissions as soon as the due date has passed. The only difference to your live module will be whether you chose to post the results to the Gradebook (after marking is complete) or not. It will often be the case that you chose not to post the results of the exam as they will be downloaded, processed and released centrally.

We would strongly recommend that you make your exam module private after the exam has finished and prior to the commencement of marking. This will ensure that students do not see any grades before they should.

Below are links to a selection of guides that might be useful when it comes to marking student submissions and dealing with the results.

Questionmark

Results from Questionmark exams will not appear in the Gradebook. On completion of a Questionmark exam, the Educational Development Assessment team will export a spreadsheet of results and share this securely with the module leader, unless otherwise instructed.

Some staff have requested access to the Results section of Questionmark to access and export the results themselves. Further information on how to do this can be found in our accessing results in Questionmark guide.

ExamOnline

There are two options when it comes to marking exam answers in ExamOnline (EOL):

  • Downloaded PDFs – allow you to mark offline. You will receive a secure link to a zip file containing individual PDFs for each of the students who sat the exam (identified by student ID/matriculation number). The markers/module manager will have to manage the collation of results locally.
  • Marking in the ExamOnline assessment system – allows you to mark anonymously online. As well as allocating a mark, you can also add inline and overall comments to student answers.

If you have been allocated to mark or moderate an exam question in ExamOnline, the module manager should have indicated whether they expect you to mark offline using PDFs, or online in the ExamOnline system.

If marking online in ExamOnline, you will receive a direct e-mail from the Educational Development Assessment team (or your School Office) with full details on how to access the assessment system.

Further information can be found in our marking options in ExamOnline guide.

Möbius

Depending on how the Möbius exam was created in the exam module, results may not appear in the Gradebook. On completion of a Möbius exam, instructors can access student results via the link to the Möbius exam. DigitalEd have support materials available on understanding the Gradebook in Möbius.
