This is available for Graders.

The Administration of explanations feature gives you, as a Grader, a complete overview of all requested explanations in a test. This article gives an overview of the Administration of explanation feature within the Classic marking tool.

Overview of the feature

As a Grader, the Administration of explanations feature gives you a complete view of the workflow:

• You get a complete picture of all requested explanations.
• You will receive a notification email when a candidate registers a request for an explanation.
• You can still write an explanation even if the candidate has not requested one.

• It gives you an overview of which candidates have requested explanations in the Grading tool. 

  

As a co-graders or committees:

• All co-graders, or all Graders in a committee, have the same access and rights to edit and change the status of explanations.
• The Grading tool tracks and stores which Grader last edited the explanation, as well as who changed the status.

Display in Classic marking

In the Classic marking tool, you will get an overview of which candidates have requested explanations. There are two ways to write explanations:

• Write the explanation while you mark the submission. 

  

• After the marking is completed: When marking is completed, the status bar for explanations will appear (highlighted in blue). 

  

Click either Show all or Show results to get to the results page. Here you get an overview of which candidates have requested explanations.

Status on Explanations

You can click on a candidate to get an overview of whether the candidate has requested an explanation. In additon, you will see the status of the explanation. 

All changes are logged, and you can choose to subscribe to notifications by email for these changes.  You can read more about customizing notification settings here.

The status will be dislpayed under Explanation. The statuses include:

1. This means that the Planner has not set a status on Explanation of grade. As a Grader, you can still write an explanation by pressing Add.

   

2. The Planner has requested an explanation. To add explanation, click Add. The status will then be updated to Draft.

   

3. If you are not done with the explanation: Save the explanation as a draft by clicking on Save draft. Explanations with the status Draft cannot be sent to the candidates.

   If you are done with the explanation: Save the explanation as a draft, and then click Mark as Ready.

   

4. Once you have marked the explanation as Ready, it can be sent to the candidate. You can still edit the explanation, even when it is marked as Ready.

   

   The explanation can be sent by the Planner or by you as a Grader. If the Planner allows you to send the explanation directly, the Send to candidate button will be displayed.

   Note: The test must have status Graded before explanations can be sent to the candidates. All Graders and committees must have confirmed the common grading. 

5. When the explanation is sent, it will immediately be available in the candidate's Archive. Once this is done, the explanation can no longer be edited. 

   

6. If the status is Read, this means that the candidate has logged in and seen the explanation. Note that Inspera Assessment can only confirm that the page was viewed, not that the candidate fully read the explanation.
