From the information page the grader can start the grading of the candidates by clicking «grade your candidates». If you have already started grading, the exam the system allows you to pick up where you left of by clicking the text “continue from last graded”. If there is more than one grader in the system, other co-graders can confirm their grades without entering a value (A to F etc.) The commision can then approve/confirm the final grades. If the commission wishes to use the co-grading support within the Inspera system, all the graders can confirm their individual grades and proceed to the co-grading to review the discrepancies in the candidates grades given by the individual graders.

The information page contains further information about the exam and the deliveries each grader has been assigned. Grading instructions will be available here if the administration have uploaded them to the Inspera grading tool.

An overview of the candidates in the commision

The overview of your assessment is a list consisting of the candidates you are to grade. The candidates are listed with their candidate numbers. In the example shown here grades are not set for any of the candidates. When the grades are set the icons of the candidates will appear blue.

You access the delivery you want to assess by clicking the icon on the left side (marked with the candidate number).

When the grader has finished grading all the assigned deliveries, the grader can confirm the grades by clicking «confirm your grades» on the information page:

When the commision is in accord on the final grades, the final grades must be confirmed:

The candidate’s delivery

Delivery.png

The candidate’s delivery is presented as a list of all the different questions in the question set. Manually graded questions are marked with a circle and automatically graded questions are marked with a lightning bolt. As a grader you can choose to hide the automatically graded questions. In the list deliveries that have not been assessed are marked with a black circle, and the assessed deliveries are marked with a green circle.

To start assessing single questions the grader can click a question in the list. The candidates answer to that question will then appear.

Delivery1.png

In many cases the delivery will consist of one, or a few, essays. The grader can choose to assess the deliveries with point and/or threshold values, or set a grade manually. If the Question Set consists of only one Question the overall grade for the delivery will be updated automatically when the question has been graded.

Manually setting a score on an automatically graded question

Man aut1.png

It is possible to override the predefined score on an automatically graded question. This can be done by clicking the button show in the picture. Please note that this has to be done for every candidate you are grading. You should always have a close dialogue with the administrator of the exam before manually overriding the automatic score.

The tab underneath shows the candidates answer to a question. On the right hand side the point or is displayed. The grader gives the assessment by clicking the point/grade.

The grader can add private notes for each question. These notes will remain private throughout the grading process and will not appear to other co-graders or candidates, nor will they appear if a candidate complains about the grade and asks for a new assessment.

Question

In this tab the grader can see the question as it was shown to the candidate on the exam

Annotation (to be released at a later date)

Annotation allow graders to add private comments to candidate deliveries as points, areas or text selections. All annotations are private to the grader. Annotations can be added as Point, Area and Text selection, and all annotations can be deleted. Annotations are added to a preloaded PDF version of the candidate delivery

Navigation

Breadcrumb trail
Breadcrumb.png

Navigating between different questions

At the top of the Assessment tool there is always a breadcrumb trail that the grader can use to navigate. In the example shown below one can navigate by clicking the different breadcrumb items:

  • EKSEMPELPRØVE – Navigate to the information page for the test
  • KANDIDATER – Navigate to the candidate list
  • KANDIDAT2 – Navigate to the result page for candidate 2
  • OPPGAVE 006 – Navigate to the delivery of question 6 for candidate 2
  • The icon at the top left – Closes the session and returns the grader to the main page with all the exams listed (for that particular grader)

Navigate1.png


It is not necessary to navigate back to the candidate’s list to open a new delivery. The grader can navigate directly to the next candidate or the next question. The grader can also choose to hide all previously graded candidates or questions. The navigation tool will take the hidden items into consideration and surpass them. This implicates that the grader can move through the questions and deliveries in a seamless fashion until the list of remaining assessments is empty.

The navigation Bar
Navigate2.png

The navigation bar shows all the questions in the delivery. It can show only those that are not graded yet if the grader chooses to use the filter tool at the bottom right. Questions marked with a lightning bolt are, as mentioned before, automatically graded. The questions marked with a black circle needs to be graded with points or grades As the grader moves through the questions and assesses them, the black circles turns into green check bullet points.

The icons of the candidates that have had their delivery assessed turn blue. Candidates whose deliveries are yet to be graded are shown as black icons. In the menu to navigate between candidates the same iconography is being used. The menu opens when you click the candidate icon. This action displays a list over all the candidates in the test. A grader can navigate directly to a candidate’s delivery from this starting point.

Notes and annotation

Notes
Notes12.png

The grader can make notes for the entire delivery or for each singular question in the delivery. The notes are private and cannot be view by anyone else throughout the entire grading process. The notes are entered in the field at the right hand side.

On the candidate’s delivery (the separate candidates «result page») the grader can also make notes. This page also contains a view of the graders comments on the different questions.

The assessment protocol and earlier assessments

The protocol will be available at the information page when the assessment is competed. The protocol will only contain results for candidates I the commision (not for the entire course).

After the graders have confirmed their final grades the grades are ready to be transferred to FS (manually). At this point the grades are locked and can no longer be changed. If a grader needs to view previous assessments this can be done by opening the test with status assessed/graded and choose «show results» on the right hand side.

Final grades will be shown as light blue to indicate that they can no longer be changed. The grader can see the private notes that were made during the grading process. This may be useful in case of a grade appeal where the candidate wishes to get the delivery reassessed.

Blank delivery

If the candidates has delivered blank it will appear as shown below. The grader must still grade the delivery (the automatically recommended grade will always be the lowest at the scale chosen for the test.
