Page tree

After accessing an Activity where open-ended question scoring is available, OEQS graders land on the main page of the module. 

Before navigating to the Scoring page, OEQS graders need to select from the available Activities, then set up a Case and a Part using the corresponding drop-downs to load every question item of the checklist.

The Activity OEQS graders enter from their Dashboards is always pre-filled in the Activity drop-down. If there is only one Case and/or checklist available for open-ended question scoring within the Activity, the Case and Part drop-downs are also auto-filled respectively.

The OEQS grader can select between the 'Questions' or 'Learners' view options to display checklist information in different arrangements.

Questions View

Questions view is the default view when entering the module: the OEQS grader is provided a comprehensive status of each question.

The OEQS grader is informed immediately about:

  • Scored Responses = number of responses scored by OEQS evaluators

  • All Responses = total number of responses submitted by the learners

  • All Learners =  number of assigned learners who are supposed to submit responses 

    (info) (in case of Evaluator-Evaluee assignments this number reflects the number of Learners an OEQS Evaluator has to evaluate).

  • Scoring Type = scoring method (Not scored, Direct scoring, Keyword scoring, Questionnaire based scoring)

The columns mentioned are not displayed for Step 2 CS Patient Notes sections. 

Clicking any one of the Score buttons will redirect the OEQS grader to the Scoring page.

The Responses panel on Scoring will automatically scroll to the question the OEQS grader has selected but the panel will contain the entire checklist. 

The Score button jumps to the first learner whose grading is incomplete and skips preceding learners who are completely graded on the Scoring page. 

Submit All Option

OEQS graders can submit automatically calculated scores for Keyword graded questions: keyword scoring compares learners' free worded responses against predefined keywords and scores them automatically. 

Find out more about how to set up Keyword scoring on this page.

The Submit All button located on the OEQS main page in Questions view allows OEQS graders to submit recommended scores in bulk for every response to a question with one click if keyword scoring has been set up.

OEQS graders need to press the Submit All button to auto-grade questions: 

After responses are auto-graded, OEQS graders can still review and resubmit scores if needed.

Learner View

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.

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

Hide Scored Learner(s) 

The Hide Scored Learner(s) feature located on the OEQS main page helps OEQS graders stay focused on remaining grading tasks in both available views.

When the Hide Scored Learners switch is activated, the number of scored responses of each question item is extracted from the Score button in Questions view:

Learners whose grading is complete are concealed by switching on the feature in Learners view:


Also, when entering the Scoring page while the Hide Scored Learner(s) option is switched on, completely scored learners will be hidden on the Learners panel:
