Overview of the Marking role

What can a Marker do?

As a marker you can:

  • access student submissions that have been allocated to you

  • deliver marks/ grades and feedback

  • download student submissions and a grade sheet for offline marking

WISEflow offers support for both open and blind marking practices.

Navigation

If you have been given the role of Marker, you will see a Marking tab at the top of your screen when you log in.  If you click on this tab you will see the Flow Overview page below. 

On this page, any current or upcoming flows (assessments) where you have been added as a marker will be listed below (1). Past flows can be accessed via the Archive button (2).

When the third arrow in the progress bar of a flow is green, this indicates that the marking period has started and that student submissions for this assessment can be accessed and marked.

Navigating the Main Flow Page

Note: By default, when you access a flow for the first time the information will be displayed on the current flow page. There is a new version of the flow page available which offers a more streamlined view of assessment information. Click the Enable new flow page button at the top of the page to try it out!

Switching to the new flow page does not affect your marking progress and you can switch back to the current version at any time.
