Marker Allocation
This is a proposal for an additional feature to only allow 1 marker at a time to mark a student submission.
Goals and rationale
The main goals of this feature are to :
- Prevent multiple markers from marking the same student submission at the same time and overwriting each others grades and feedback.
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 multiple markers do not mark the same piece of work.
The feature would add an option in the grading interface so that markers can "Take" a submission for marking. Once a submission is "Taken", only the person who is allocated the submission can provide grades/feedback. When they have finished marking, they can choose "Finish marking" the submission which will allow other markers to "Take" the submission.
Status
The feature is currently only a proposal
Design
Changes to assignment settings
An additional setting would be added to the module settings page: "Enable marking allocation" [Yes/No] (Default No) "If enabled this setting requires that graders either manually or automatically "Take" submissions before they will be able to provide grades and feedback. This feature will prevent multiple markers from marking the same student submission concurrently and overwriting each others grades and feedback. When a grader has completed their marking process they can choose "Finish marking" in which will allow other graders to "Take" the submission and give more feedback/grades. An editing teacher by default has the permission to assign a submission to any grader or to automatically assign submissions to graders"
Changes to the grading table
An additional action would be available from the submission menu and the batch operations menu "Take" for all submissions that are not currently checked out.
An additional column would be added to the grading table to show which assignments are "Taken" and who has taken them. This column would show either "Not allocated" or "Taken by XXX".
If the current submission is taken by someone who is not the current user, the grade action would not be displayed and this row would be read only for quick-grading/offline marking.
If the current submission is taken by the current user, or the current user has a special "assign:allocatemarkers" capability, an additional action would be available in the submission menu and the batch operations menu to "Finish marking" a submission.
If the current user has "assign:allocatemarkers" capability they would have to ability to allocate a submission to any grader.
Submissions that are not allocated can be taken by anyone with grade permission.
Capabilities
An additional capability "assign:allocatemarkers" would be added to allow a manager/editing teacher to allocate submissions to graders.
User Interface mockups

Database changes
To be written
Use cases
Small class size, one grader
- Grader can ignore this feature and mark as they did before
Medium class size, multiple markers
- Markers can enable "Enable marking allocations". Graders must then take submissions before they mark them to prevent conflicts
Large class size, one teacher, multiple marking assistants
- Teacher can enable "Enable marking allocations". The teacker can then automatically or manually allocate marking assistants to submissions which will ensure only one marking assistant is assigned to each submission
- If a marker has a submission allocated to them but the marker is sick/non contactable the teacher can assign it to a different marker
