Our goal is to save you time and help you maximize your impact. Quizzing and Assignments are core part of that. This guide shows you how to manage the submissions of students, and is broken down into the following sections:
Reviewing Student Grades
Manually Adjusting Student Grades
Results from Individual or Multiple Attempts
Viewing Assessment Analytics
Making Accommodations for Students
Syncing Grades with Canvas & Blackboard
1. Reviewing Student Grades
When a student submits their answers for a graded assessment, their results will appear in the Gradebook almost immediately.
Note that only graded assessments show up here. If they have completed an ungraded assessment (like a practice quiz), the results aren't available for instructors to see anywhere.
2. Manually Adjusting Student Grades
Sometimes you need to adjust a grade for a student. Perhaps a question was not clear, or perhaps they just gave you some money - we don't judge 😉. On the Gradebook page you can manually overwrite a student's grade.
To adjust a grade for a student:
Go to the Gradebook tab in the Control Center.
Find the relevant grade from the table of students and assessments.
Double click on the grade you want to change.
Enter the number you want it to be and hit enter.
When you hover over the adjusted grade, it will pop up with the original score, who adjusted it and when.
3. Results from Individual or Multiple Attempts
3.1 Accessing Individual Results
There are two routes you can take to see the individual answers students made for each assessment submission, via the Gradebook, or via the Quizzes tab.
3.1.1. Via the Gradebook
To see individual answers via the Gradebook:
Go to the Gradebook tab in the Control Center.
Find the relevant student from the list.
Click on their name. This will take you through to the Student Submissions page, which provides you access to all of the assessment submissions made by the student.
Click on View Responses for the relevant assessment.
3.1.2. Accessing Via the Quizzes Tab
To see the individual answers from a student via the Quizzes tab, head to the Moderate page in the Quizzes tab.
Go to the Quizzes tab in the Control Center.
Find the relevant quiz or assignment from the list, click on the 3 dots on the right, select Moderate.
On the Moderate page, click the student name.
This will take you to the student assessment page, with all of their attempt details, including:
time taken
answers
correct / incorrect
grade
3.2 Viewing All Attempts
If you allow students multiple attempts, you can see the results from each attempt.
To select between attempts:
Go to the Quizzes tab in the Control Center.
Find the relevant quiz or assignment from the list.
Click on the 3 dots on the far right hand side. A drop down will appear. Select "Moderate".
On the Moderate page, click the student name.
If there are multiple attempts, you will see the boxes to select between the attempts.
3.3 Downloading Submissions
As part of assignments or quizzes, you can ask students to upload files. This is usually an Excel file, or word file to show their workings, or a completed template.
To access uploaded files from students as part of assessments:
Go to the individual student assessment page.
Click on the Download Student Submission button.
4. Viewing Assessment Analytics
Once students have completed an assessment, Blended Teaching will generate analytics to help you evaluate the assessment overall, as the well as the individual questions.
To view assessment analytics:
Go to the Quizzes tab in the Control Center.
Identify the relevant assessment, select the three dots on the right and select Moderate.
At the top of the page, select the Analytics tab.
The overall assessment analytics show the following:
Highest score
Lowest score
Mean score
Median score
Mean elapsed time
Standard Deviation
Score distribution graph
The individual questions analytics show the following:
Item Difficulty: The percentage of people who answered the question successfully.
Mean Earned Points: Average points earned from the question across all students.
Median Earned Points: Middle value of points earned from all students.
Discrimination Index: Correlation between getting the question right and overall quiz performance. Values range from -1 to 1. Positive values indicate students who score well on the quiz tend to get this question right.
Total Correlation Coefficient: Correlation between this question's score and the total quiz score (excluding this question). Measures how well this question aligns with overall quiz performance.
Answer Frequency Summary table
For MCQs, the count of how many times each answer option was selected by students.
5. Making Accommodations for Students
There are all sorts of reasons you may want to make changes for individual students, including:
Giving additional attempts
Providing extra time
Extending a deadline
Manually adjusting grades
