Advanced Assessments

Quick Eval enables you to use a single location within your course in onQ to view all learner submissions that are awaiting evaluation. Submissions made to Assignments, Quizzes, and Discussions are displayed in a list and can be selected to take you directly to their assessment page.

Figure: The Submissions tab of the Quick Eval page.

You can sort submissions by:

• First or Last Name
• Activity Name
• Course Name
• Submission date

Filter submissions by:

• Activity Name
• Course Name
• Submission Date

When accessing Quick Eval from a specific course, the list of activities to evaluate is prefiltered to only show items from that course. To view submissions from all available courses, click the ellipses icon and select Multi-Course Quick Eval.

Submissions view supports anonymous marking for assignments created with the Hide learner names during assessment option selected. Learner names and profile images do not display and are replaced by a generic profile image, and the name column shows Anonymous User.

The search function in Quick Eval allows evaluators to locate submissions for evaluation by searching for a specific user, assignment, quiz, discussion topic, or course. Once you complete an evaluation, publish your feedback or save it as a draft and then return to the Quick Eval list to continue evaluating. Any assessment awaiting evaluation, or with its evaluation saved in draft status displays in Quick Eval.

In Quick Eval, select the Activitiestab to display a list of any assessable activities that have one or more submissions, regardless of the submission status. This view makes it easy to complete all assessments for one assignment, discussion, or quiz before moving on to the next task.

Figure: The Activities tab of the the Quick Eval page.

Activities view displays indicators to show the learner progress on submissions, teachers progress on evaluations, and on publishing feedback to learners. It also includes links to the evaluation page, submission page, and a publish all action.

A new count is displayed for Assignments, Quizzes, and Discussions. It corresponds to the sum of learner submissions that have never been evaluated or resubmitted since the last evaluation (either draft or published).

An activity shows up in Quick Eval’s Activities view when there is an assessable activity that has one or more submissions, regardless of the submission status (i.e. either awaiting evaluation status or evaluated).
