Anonymous marking and moderation - how to do it?

Hi Olly - which person would be responsible for publishing the evaluations so that the students can see them?

HI @Olly Fayers​ ,

So we don't have a perfect solution to this one yet (working on it), but i can give you a bit of guidance on some options/caveats:

Tip: Do not go down the route of just hiding the grade item i.e. publishing but hiding it. It's still visible in class progress when published no matter if you've hidden the grade item.

Option 1

1. Steve from Huddersfield has written a script which essentially surfaces draft assignment grades in a sortable list/exportable excel. This means the marker fills in all details as normal, and then the script sits as an option called 'assignment reports' on the navbar.
2. The moderator can export that list, and pop in another column to indicate Y/N agreement, and if you want that to be as quick and easy for them as possible, you can import just that column into the gradebook into a hidden item (instructions https://documentation.brightspace.com/EN/semester_start/-/instructor/import_grades.htm ).
3. Here's the script - he's kindly shared it on here: https://community.brightspace.com/s/article/Developer-Spotlight-Using-a-script-to-surface-draft-assignment-grades

= trail of moderation in gradebook, no need to publish grades before this moderation happens.

Option 2: Rubrics

You can create a second marker rubric that's hidden permanently from students. Have 1 criteria 2 levels that says agree or disagree which the moderator can fill in.

Only issue here is that you'd have to go into each assignment to see if the moderator had agreed/disagreed - if the moderation process halts marking/publishing (which i expect it does), then this might not be the best solution.

Hope that helps?
