When entering the Scoring page, you will have a learner and question highlighted according to which question or learner you have selected for scoring in one of the available view options: 

Select Learners

To select a learner for scoring, simply click on a learner inside the Learners panel on the left:

The Responses panel will stay on the same highlighted question when switching between learners.

To replace a learner's display name with their unique custom ID or to hide learner identifying information altogether, Administrators or Report Reviewer (full control) users can manage the Privacy settings of Open-Ended Question Scoring in Activity Reporting Setup. Report Reviewer (full control) users can only access the activities they are added to as faculty.

Select Responses

In the Responses panel in the center, click and scroll to navigate between responses.

Hide responses or entire sections with the help of the drop-down arrows included at each question and section header.

Score Responses

Grade a highlighted response in the Scoring panel on the right:

Direct Scoring

  • Where Direct grading is applied, score a response by simply selecting a point value from a scale.

Keyword Scoring

  • In the case of Keyword grading, the system calculates a recommended score based on keyword matches and enters the point value in the Score field that can be revised manually: 

    Use the Submit All button on the OEQS main page in Questions view to submit the recommended scores with one click for every data entry for a keyword-graded question.

Questionnaire Scoring

  • With the Questionnaire grading method, evaluate free-worded responses by filling out a questionnaire: each answer is assigned a point value that will be added as a score after submission.

The Questionnaire method requires a case part named "Special Section" for scoring. If the point values are modified in a Special Section that has already been used for scoring, you have to resubmit scores for the related question items in order to recalculate scores. Find more information here about when score resubmission is required.

Skip Responses

  • Use the Skip option to jump to the next question if
    • the selected learner has not submitted their response for the question, or



    • scoring is not available for the question (the question is labeled as 'NOT SCORED' in the Responses panel)



Next Learner Option

Use the Next Learner option at the bottom of the Scoring panel once every scorable response is scored on a learner's checklist.
You will be forwarded to the next learner who has unscored responses:

Score Drafts

Navigate away freely from the current response you are grading to compare it with other responses and return later to submit your final score.

Every score you enter but do not submit for a response is saved as a draft while you are working inside the other parts of the QEQS module:

Draft scores are available as long as you stay inside your current OEQS session: if you return to your Dashboard without submitting your scores, your drafts will be discarded. Scores are only saved permanently by submission.

Once you edit a score in the Scoring panel, a yellow draft status is displayed at the question and the learner you have scored. Find the comprehensive explanation of statuses here.

See further information on the Open-Ended Questions Scoring (OEQS) Module page.
