Moodle Teachers – How to Allow Student Assignments to be Graded by Multiple Graders

-

Assignment activity in Moodle LMS allows you to collect students submissions on the given topic which can be graded. It allows you to let students submit the online text, upload a file or even grade offline work in Moodle. In this post we will see how you can add multiple graders for assignment submissions in your Moodle course.

The Assignment activity is generally graded by the courses teachers. However, by using the Multiple Graders Moodle plugin you can assign multiple graders for an assignment activity. You can download the Multiple Graders Moodle plugin from the official plugins repository here.

Once installed you can see a new grading method in Assignment activity settings named as Multiple Graders. When you choose Multiple Graders as grading method and save the assignment, you need to define new form definition which includes the details of other teachers and how it will be graded.

The form includes:

  • A list of graders, these will be allowed to second-grade the assignment and will also receive notifications of where second grading was requested.
  • grading criteria : rich text displayed at the top of the advanced grading method as a guide to teacher on how/what to grade
  • the method of auto calculating the next grade and outcomes. So when a second grader arrives to grade, the outcomes and the grade is automatically set based on this method, they only need to change what they don’t agree with:
    • last previous grade: copies the data from the previous grader
    • minimum previous grade: copies the minimum from all previous grades
    • maximum previous grade: copies the maximum from all previous grades
    • average previous grade: sets the average values from all previous grades
  • blind marking: if checked, graders don’t see the grades from previous graders
  • show second graders notes to students: if checked students will see along with the final grade also the intermediary grades. (Every grader may choose whether their notes are visible to students as well or only to other teachers)

How the Multiple Grading for assignment will work:

Once you have setup the grading form, then:

  • Select an assignment setup with Multiplte graders
  • First teacher that grades becomes “the first grader” which acts like an owner of that assignment/person grade. They are the ones to assign the final grade by checking the button/checkbox “publish grade”.
  • After first teacher is done grading, they need to use the checkboxes to decide:- if the notes they added should be visible to students or not- if they want to ask for second graders- if the grade is final or not
  • If they requested second grading, all teachers defined as second graders will receive a moodle notification with a link to the Assignment
  • Second graders after adding their grade and notes may choose- if the notes they added should be visible to students or not- if they want to ask for second graders – this will effectively call to a third grader
  • If they requested second grading, all teachers defined as second graders will receive a moodle notification with a link to the Assignment
  • The first grader can decide at all times the final grade and to publish the grade in the gradebook.
  • Any account can grade only once a certain assignment/user.

Overall the Multiple Graders plugin is a useful grading method for Moodle teachers who are looking for the student assignments to be graded by other teachers.
