Teaching Online at UTAS

First you will need to click the “Assessments” item from the toolbar, then choose the option ‘Assignments’, as circled below.

When you load up the Assignments area you should see a list of assignments, with a column titled “Feedback” to the right of each one. When Feedback is published to students a link called “View” will be visible in the Feedback column, as circled below.

When you click the “View” link you will see one or more of the different kinds of feedback your instructor may have provided.

These are:

(1) Link to Turnitin/Grademark: IF Turnitin or Grademark were used you may see a link to the ‘Turnitin Feedback Studio’. It may be the Similarity Report icon AND/OR the Grademark icon – either will take you to Feedback Studio to view any further comments on your submitted file(s).

(2) Rubrics: If a rubric was used for marking you will see it displayed with the selected levels highlighted.

(3) Overall Score: You may see your overall assignment score.

(4) Submission Feedback: General feedback may be written here.

Grademark is the tool used to mark-up (make comments) your submitted documents. It is linked to Turntin, so you may see to the right of your ‘Submitted Documents’ a link to Turnitin or to Grademark if they have been used.

To access the feedback click either icon that appears. Either icon will load up an area called ‘Feedback Studio’ by default. This shows you your submitted document with the comments shown either as icons you click on, or as text on the page itself.

By default you are likely to see the Similarity Report and Grademark comments together. You may also only see one or the other, depending on what your lecturer/marker has set as visible to you.

When viewing “bubble” comments (the ones that appear as white text in a blue box)  you can click on the blue box to open the full text, an example is circled below.

To control the visibility of the Similarity and/or Grademark comments you can click the black icon at the top-right of the page as circled below. It opens options to the left that allow you to turn them off or on.
