How to Score Responses

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:

Select Responses

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

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 response to a keyword-graded question.

  
  

Questionnaire Scoring

• With the Questionnaire grading method, score free-worded responses by answering a questionnaire that pertains to the accuracy, proficiency, or other considerable qualities of the responses. 

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)

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