How to create a Committee

To get started, you can begin creating committees within the Deliver module.

1. Within the Committees test setup, click Manage.

Note: we recommend not using the word 'committee' within the name of your committee to avoid a repetition of the word in the grade tool.

Managing Committees

Once you have created your committees, you can select a committee to bring up the following options:

• Edit graders: this will pull up a list of all the graders that have been added as contributors to this test, and you will have the option to add and/or remove graders from the committee. 
• Edit workflow: by default, the committee will use the grading workflow settings that are set on the overall test. It is possible to customise this for each committee. The settings you can apply are:
  • General workflow
  • Collaboration settings
  • Confirmation of marks and grade

If you want to learn more about the Grading workflow, see Test settings - Grading workflow.

• Delete committee: this will delete the committee, however, it will not remove the graders as contributors on your test, nor will it delete any candidates that have been assigned to that committee. 
• Edit moderator: this allows you to determine which graders in your committee should act as moderators. Learn more about the moderator workflow here.
