grading assessments
during the setup of a video assignment, a grade type (see types below) will be identified and can be synchronized with the grade book in mycourselink. video or text-based feedback can be synced and time-stamped within the videos allowing learners to easily find feedback at relevant points when they are reviewing the marked video assignment.
the grading dashboard provides instructors with an interactive visual display of where their learners are in the assignment process and to assign and publish grades. grades scores are sent over to the mycourselink grade book as a percentage based on the maximum points set up in the grade book.
grade types
- percentage - score an assignment between 0-100.
- pass/fail - score learners either 100% or 0%.
- auto pass - automatically give learners a 100% when they submit an answer. learners who have not submitted will not have a score.
- five star - rate submissions with a 5-star rating scale. each star is worth 20%.
refer to the bongo evaluate and score submissions documentation for more details.
