Why can't students see the grades and feedback I released?

• Did you Save your changes?

While marking work, you will be prompted to  Save  your changes. Ensure you do this before closing down your browser.

• If using Marking workflow in a Moodle assignment - is the status set to ‘Released’?

If you have selected Use marking workflow in the Moodle Assignment settings, ensure the status of the workflow is set to 'Released'.

• Was  Anonymous/Blind marking enabled?

Grades will not feed back to the Moodle gradebook and will not be visible to students unless blind marking has been ‘lifted off’ the assignment and student names have been revealed.   Note:  Once you reveal names you cannot revert to blind marking again. You can do the following to reveal names:  

1. Navigate to the relevant assignment and click on  View all submissions.
2. Using the drop down menu at the top of the screen select ‘Reveal student identities’. A prompt will then appear asking you to confirm that you would like to reveal the names as this action CANNOT be undone. Click continue if you wish to proceed.

MyFeedback Report - enables staff and students to see marks and feedback recorded in Moodle, across courses. The report includes Moodle Assignments, Turnitin Assignments, Workshops and Quizzes.
