No Guidance on Whether--and If So, How--Students Can See Marking Guide Feedback Comments

I'm a teacher who just spent hours giving comments on the advanced marking guide, in the expectation that my students would be able to see my comments before working on their second draft of the assignment.

I discovered no way to allow students to access my comments before starting their second draft.

Pedagogically, this makes little sense to me: why would I make comments if my students can't benefit from them?

I strongly suggest this page inform teachers of who can see the comments, and how, to prevent discouragement in teachers using Advanced Marking for the first time.

Hi Clay

I just tried this out on the School demo - perhaps you would like to try as well? This is the assignment I used because it already had a marking guide attached. http://school.demo.moodle.net/mod/assign/view.php?id=1455

It seems that once a student has uploaded their work for the first time, you can change the comments in the marking guide but then if you want them to be able to see the changes you must select 'Do not mark for regrade' - otherwise the marking guide will be hidden from them. If you can verify my findings, one of us could add clarification to the Marking guide docs page. Thanks for flagging this up :)--Mary Cooch (talk) 17:50, 14 May 2014 (WST)
