Move to the next student without going back to a list

Opening an assignment's submissions page loads the assignment and every submission that has come in. A teacher works through one student at a time and steps to the next without going back and opening a list again, with the marking fields on the same screen as the work.

How it is done today

Most of the time spent marking forty scripts goes on returning to a list, finding the next name and downloading a file. Half way through, nobody remembers who was last, so one student gets marked twice and another is skipped.

How it works

  1. 1

    Open the submissions page

    Go to the submissions page from the classroom's assignment. The instructions and rubric sit alongside, so there is nothing else to open.

  2. 2

    Start with the first submission

    The first student's work is shown as the page loads, with whatever they wrote and whatever files they attached on the same screen.

  3. 3

    Step to the next student

    The control for moving between students is on the screen. Finishing one and going to the next does not mean waiting for anything to load again.

  4. 4

    Mark on the same screen

    The marks and comments sit beside the work, and a voice note can be added too. What you type is saved as you go.

What runs on its own, what stays in your hands

What happens automatically

Comments and marks are saved as they are typed, so a page that closes part-way through does not cost the work already done.

What you control

The mark and the comment are the teacher's, and students see nothing until the grades are published.

What it looks like

Sample screen: one student's submission with marking fields and voice notes beside it.

Frequently asked questions

What does the page show if nobody has submitted?

It shows its own empty state with a way back, rather than opening a marking workspace with nothing in it.

Are the student's files visible here?

Yes. What the student wrote and the files they attached appear on the same screen, so there is nothing to download and open separately.

Is my work kept if I leave part-way?

What you type into the marking fields is saved as you go, so a dropped connection or a closed tab does not cost what you had already written.
