  • Drafts - the number of students who have uploaded a draft assessment but have not yet submitted
  • Submitted - the number of students who have submitted an assessment 
  • Needs grading - the number of assessments that have been submitted but not yet graded
  • Due date - the date and time of the assessment deadline
  • Time remaining - how long is remaining for students to submit their assessment
• Step 3:  Click on the "View all submissions' button at the bottom of the assessment page 

• Step 4:  View the details associated with each student and their submission status 
  • Important to note - the below screenshot is the new functionality in development and will replace the existing design prior to launch.

The below video outlines how to grade assessments and provide feedback within the platform.

Grade override

This feature is currently in development and training on how to adjust a grade based on the outcome of a rubric will be released soon.

Turnitin has been embedded within the learning platform and as such does not require students to upload their assessments to a separate site.  The following video outlines how students will submit their assessments using the Turnitin feature. 

Please refer to ICHM instructions on when to download Turnitin reports and suspected plagerism.

Within some subjects, multi-part assessments are utilized. Multipart assessments will be displayed in navigation as per the below image:

In the case of the above image, 'ECO100 - Assessment 1' provides an overview of all parts of the assessment, this is referred to as the 'Parent Assessment'. Under the Parent Assessment sit each of the sub-parts and these are referred to as 'Child Assessments'. In order to complete the Parent Assessment, students must complete all Child Assessments. As the facilitator, you may grade child assessments or they may be auto-marked quizzes, however, you will provide grading for the Parent Assessment at the completion of all the associated Child Assessments.

As outlined at the start of this topic, ICHM Online employs quizzes in some subjects and these are generally Child Assessments.

The platform uses two types of quizzes:

1. Automarked Quizzes - question types include multiple-choice, drag & drop, select missing word
2. Lecturer Marked Quizzes - questions are open-ended short or long answer 

Quizzes are designed to be configurable for each intake and will open relative to the specified date and will close in accordance. For subjects that contain quizzes, students will be given a maximum time period in which they must complete the quiz. 

When a student is able to access a quiz (based on the predetermined open date) they will see the following in order to commence their quiz.

Students will see an outline of the quiz requirements and when they are ready to commence, they require to click 'Attempt quiz now'. The video below outlines the student experience of quizzes.
