Using marking workflow
The Marking Workflow options
Overview:
This guide will show you how to implement Marking Workflow within your Assignment Activity.
What to know:
The Marking Workflow within the Assignment activity affords the teachers to manage the marking process by switching the stages. By using the Workflow, students grade and feedback will be kept hidden until teachers release them. If you are not using Marking Workflow, students will be able to see the grade as soon as you update the grades online.
