UPDATE: New Evaluation Experience in Discussions

by Liza Dalfonso on December 1st, 2021 | 0 Comments

Brightspace has made it easier than ever to evaluate discussion topics. In fact, it may look familiar as many of the features mimic the Dropbox evaluation experience. 

Note: This new experience works well with mobile devices.

Step 1

Navigate to your course, and click on the Discussions link in your course navigation bar:

Step 2

Locate the discussion topic you wish to grade and click on the dropdown next to the title (see red arrow below). Choose Assess Topic from the list. The Assess Topic page will open, and you will see a list of students. 

 

Step 3

To begin evaluating student posts, under the first student’s name, click on Topic Score to read, grade, and provide feedback on the student’s post.

On the next screen, you now can read, grade with a rubric (if applicable), provide a score and overall feedback, publish (or save as draft) and move on to the next student’s post. See below for in depth review of this page.

1. Read the student’s post in this area.

2. If your discussion topic contains a rubric, you may grade using the rubric. The score will populate in the Overall grade box. The student will be able to view the graded rubric when they view their scores in Gradebook.

3. If your discussion topic does not have a rubric, enter the score for the student in the Overall grade box.

4. Provide any feedback you would like student to receive. Note: Overall feedback goes to student only.

5. Publish score to the gradebook by clicking the blue Publish button. If you prefer, you can Save as Draft and publish scores all at once.

6. To read, grade, and provide feedback on next student’s post, click the right arrow.

Please view the Discussions tab to see a video demo and view a downloadable PDF.
