Users with Open Ended Question Scoring Data Entry privilege have access to rating answers given to open-ended questions by clicking the OEQS button on the Your Activities panel.
Only Activities where the user is member of the assigned Faculty group, are listed in the panel.

Learners' anonymity can be set within the Privacy panel on the Activity Reporting Setup page of the relevant Activity.
By default, learners are made anonymous, consequently, they are displayed on the Learner response page by number.
           
  1. Click the OEQS button next to the desired Activity on the Your Activities panel. The Open-Ended Question Scoring page appears with the pre-selector settings.
  2. Select the Case and Part from the corresponding drop-down menus.

    The Activity drop-down is pre-populated by the Activity of the OEQS button the user has clicked.
  3. Use the radio buttons to list the answers by questions or learners.

    By default, the list is displayed by questions.



    In Learners view, OEQS graders can search and select a specific learner for grading. Clicking the Score button next to a selected learner will redirect the OEQS grader to the Scoring page.

  4. Choose either the Submit All or the Score button next to a question to view either the complete list of learners' responses or only the newly submitted responses.
    The Learner response page appears.
IMPORTANT: By default, learners are made anonymous, consequently, they are displayed on the Learner response page by number.

         

5. Use the Learner #No/ Learner Name (depending on Privacy settings) list to switch between the responses.

The Responses panel will automatically scroll to the first question that can be scored but the panel will contain the entire checklist. 

6. Complete the scoring according to the type of scoring.

Type your comments, if any, in the Comments field.

Direct scoring

Select the Score from the drop-down.

Keyword scoring

When keyword scoring is set up, the system highlights in the answer text all words matching any keyword and calculates a 'recommended' score based on their values.
When selecting a response with keyword scoring, a table listing the keywords and their values is displayed in the Scoring panel.

Clicking the Submit All button next to a keyword-scored question on the Open-Ended Question Scoring page results in the recommended scores being submitted as calculated by the system.
It is highly recommended that scores be submitted only after review of each answer.

Questionnaire scoring

Selecting a Response that has a related questionnaire assigned opens the questionnaire in the Scoring panel, as created on the selected Special Section checklist. 
In the questionnaire, each answer is assigned a point value that will be added as a score after submission.

7. Click Submit to save the score (and comment if any).

Click Skip to leave out the learner or question and view the next one.
