Online Learning Assessment Form: Assessor Only Activities

Online Learning Assessment Form: Assessor Only Activities

Assessor Only Activity is a feature of the Online Assessment Activity which allows the assessor to grade the student even when the assessment is still on-going. When enabled, the Assessment Activity will not be accessible to students enrolled in the course and only assigned trainers and assessors can open the activity.

To enable the Assessor Only Activity, follow these steps:

Alert
Note: You need a Trainer or Manager access to perform this action

Step 1Log in with your Trainer or Admin account

Step 2: Select your course from the search results by clicking the Course title where you want to put your Assessor Only Activity

Step 3: To add an activity to your course, turn on the 'Edit Mode' toggle. Click Add an activity or resource.



Step 4: Click the 'Assessment Form' from the list of the activities.



Step 5: Fill out the information needed to set-up the Assessment Activity.

General Settings:



 Name*
 (Mandatory field) enter the name of the Assessment Form activity in the Name text box.
 Description
 Enter the relevant description in the "Description" text area that describes the Assessment Form if needed.
 Display description on
 course page
 (checkbox) If enabled, the description of this activity will be shown on the course page

Timing:



 Open the assessment
 Tick the enable button if you want to set the date and time for the assessment to open.
 Close the assessment
 Tick the enable button if you want to set the date and time for the assessment to close.
 Time limit
 If enabled, a countdown timer will be displayed in the navigation block while student is taking the assessment.
 When time expires
 There are two options for this setting when time expires:

 1. Open attempts are submitted automatically (default setting)
 2. Attempts must be submitted before time expires (or they are not counted) 

Grade:


 Grade Category
 This settings controls the category in which this activity's grades are placed in the gradebook
 Maximum grade is 0.0
 The Assessment Activity automatically counts the maximum grade based on the Task Fields used in the
 assessment.
 Grade to pass
 This setting determines the minimum grade required to pass. The value is used in activity and course
 completion, and in the gradebook, where pass grades are highlighted in green and fail grades in red.

 During this set-up, leave Grade to pass blank for the time being. You must return to it once you're
 done building the form
 Attempts allowed
 Options are from 1-10 and Unlimited
 Grading Method
 When multiple attempts are allowed, the following methods are available for calculating the final
 assessment grade:
  1. Highest grade of all attempts
  2. Average (mean) grade of all attempts
  3. First attempt (all other attempts are ignored)
  4. Last attempt (all other attempts are ignored)

Task Behaviour:


 Allow copy and paste for student
 If this setting is enabled, students can execute copy and paste during assessment.
 Each attempt builds on the last
 If multiple attempts are allowed and this setting is enabled, each new assessment attempt will contain
 the results of the previous attempt. This allows an assessment to be completed over several attempts.
 Assessor Only Activity
 Enable this setting for any activity that does NOT require a student to make a submission and ONLY the
 Assessor will be completing the Assessment Activity.

Notes
Make sure that you have enabled the Assessor Only Activity

Appearance:


 Colour Coded Tabs
 Tabs are colour coded to show progress of data entered.
 Show the user's picture
 If enabled, a student's name and picture will be shown on-screen during the attempt, and on the
 review screen, making it easier to check that the student is logged in as themselves in an
 invigilated (proctored) exam.
 Decimal places in grades
 This setting specifies the number of digits shown after the decimal point when displaying grades.
 It only affects the display of grades, not the grades stored in the database, nor the internal
 calculations, which are carried out to full accuracy.
 Decimal places in question grades
 This setting specifies the number of digits shown after the decimal point
 when displaying the grades for individual questions.
 Show blocks during assessment attempts
 If set to yes, then normal blocks will be shown during assessment attempts.

Extra restrictions on attempts:


 Require password
 If a password is specified, a student must enter in order to attempt the assessment.
 Require network address
 Assessment access may be restricted to particular subnets on the LAN or
 Internet by specifying a comma- separated list of partial or full IP address
 numbers. This can be useful for an invigilated (proctored) assessment, to ensure   that only people in a certain location can access the assessment.
 Enforced delay between 1st and 2nd attempts
 If enabled, a student must wait for the specified time to elapse before being able to
 attempt the assessment a second time.
 Enforced delay between later attempts
 If enabled, a student must wait for the specified time to elapse before attempting the
 assessment a third time and any subsequent times
 Browse security
 If "Full screen pop-up with some JavaScript security" is selected, 
  1.  The assessment will only start if the student has a JavaScript-enabled web-browser 
  2. The assessment appears in a full screen popup window that covers all the other windows and has no navigation controls
  3. Students are prevented, as far as is possible, from using facilities like copy and paste
 Webcam identity validation
 If you enable this option, students will not be able to start an attempt until they have
 ticked a check-box confirming that they are aware of the policy on webcam.
 For proctoring purposes, select 'must be acknowledge before starting an attempt'

Common module settings:


 Availability
 The availability option permits students to view and access assignments and resources, there
 are two options available:
  1. Show on course page
  2. Hide from students
 ID number
 The ID number can be entered to reference the same ID number from a third-party package especially
 gradebook. Otherwise, the field may be left blank.
 Force Language
 If you force a language in a course, the interface of Moodle in this course will be in this particular language,
 even if a student has selected a different preferred language in his/her personal profile.
 Group mode
 There are three group settings available:
  1. No groups
  2. Separate groups
  3. Visible groups
 Grouping
 Not available if no group mode is selected, if separate or visible grouping is enabled, you will then be given an
 option to Add group/grouping access restrictions.
