How to manage peer marking

Once you have created your task, you'll be able to enable peer marking.

If you forgot to choose peer marking as the marking type when creating the task, you can edit your task

To enable peer marking, go to:

You'll notice the details show Marking mode: Peer marked.

At the bottom of the section you'll see Peer marking status: Inactive.

This means that students will not be able to mark each others' work until you switch it on.

To activate peer marking, click Manage.

Next to Status you'll see a toggle switch - click it to activate peer marking.

Peer marking is now active. Next, you will need to assign task marking to your students.

If you notice some tasks are already partially marked, this is because Quiz questions are marked automatically.

To assign a student to mark another student's work, you can either:

Drag a student from Available for marking to Being marked - this also allows you to assign the same student multiple tasks to mark or even their own.
Click Auto-assign to randomly assign a task for marking to another student in the class.

If you want to remove a task that was moved to Being marked, click the red cross.

Only submitted tasks are available to be marked. If a task has not been completed, it will not be available to assign.

Important Notes:

Students do not know who they are marking.

You must enable peer marking for students to be able to mark each other's tasks.
