Assignment/Draft Features/Marker Allocation

Marker Allocation

This is a proposal for an additional feature to help multiple markers dealing with large class sizes.

Goals and rationale

The main goals of this feature are to :

• Assign subsets of the submissions to markers

Overview

Currently in the assignment module, when dealing with large class sizes it is desirable to share the workload of marking among multiple markers. The current methods for doing this rely on process outside of Moodle (e.g. spreadsheet) to allocate students to markers to ensure that the marking workload is distributed evenly and that all work is allocated to a marker.

The feature would add settings to the module settings page so that marker allocations could be based on the groups/groupings in Moodle. The feature would add settings to the grading interface so that markers could be directly allocated submissions to mark.

Status

The feature is currently only a proposal
