This page details common student questions and details strategies you can use to alleviate the number of questions you receive via MyLO Discussion posts and emails. QUESTION: Will lectures be recorded? Where are the recordings? Include the following information in your Unit Outline (perhaps under Details of Teaching Arrangements). whether or not lecture recordings will be captured; when recordings […]

From time to time, you may have a student report issues with the completion or submission of a Quiz. For example: “I accidentally closed the quiz/lost internet connection/received an error message, and now I can’t get back into the quiz”; or “I finished my quiz but I didn’t get a mark/any results”. You may also […]

You can filter your view of Grades and Assignment Submissions Folders to see only results or submissions from students enrolled in a particular group. This can be very useful if you are responsible for marking students in a particular unit code or tutorial group. Here’s how. Go to the Grades tool by selecting Grades from the MyLO […]

In the past, when marking a submission to an Assignment Submission Folder, a Rubric would open over the top of a student’s work. To get back to the student’s work, you would either have to save and close the Rubric, or open Grademark in a new browser tab so that you could view the student’s work in one tab […]

What does it do? The Rubrics tool can create rubrics for assessment and feedback purposes. Many academics have reported that using electronic Rubrics makes the process of marking, feedback and moderation far more efficient. The following table compares the two most common types of MyLO Rubrics: Analytic > Text Only; and Analytic > Custom Points. Alternatively, this video demonstrates the […]

In November 2016, Academic Senate determined that actions must be taken to monitor student engagement in all units.
