Question assignment allows you to individually assign questions within a test to specific graders. This function creates a more flexible way to let graders divide their workflow, for example, assigning all essays to a certain grader.

Question Assignment In this video, Bianca goes over how to use the Question Assignment tool within the Grading module. |
Enabling Question assignment
- This option is available for Planners
To start: Add your grader(s). Within Grading workflow in test settings, you can choose the option to assign individual graders to questions on tests. This feature requires two precursors (1) Marking 2.0 checked (2) Shared marking checked.
(1) General Settings > Enable Marking 2.0 on this test
(2) Grading workflow > Shared marking > Enable question assignment
Under Grader permissions, the first pull down menu gives you the option to decide the types of permissions you are going to give your graders:
- Graders can view and mark all questions
- Graders can view all questions, but only mark own questions
- Grader can only view and mark own questions
Second, you have the option to pick who has control over the grading assignment:
- Only planners can assign questions
- Graders can assign and re-assign questions
The Grader permission can also be adjusted per committee in the committee workflow setting.
Assigning Questions under Grading
- This option is available for Planners and Graders depending on the Grader permission setup

How to assign questions
The Question Assignment feature will open in a new page called Settings for you to work out of. Below, we will go over how to navigate the Settings page, how to assign a grader, and how to assign a section.
In the Questions workspace, click the icon and select Edit assignee. This will open the Settings page.
To assign one more graders, click on the Unassigned box by your desired questions. From the dropdown, select your grader(s).
To assign a section, click on the Unassigned box by Section.
Your question assignments will not take effect until you select the blue prompt to Update. If for any reason you need to leave the Settings page before updating, the settings page will save your assignees as a draft.
Planners can also edit permissions by selecting on Delivery Setup. Selecting Delivery Setup will take you back to the main Authoring page.
Grader markup view
The grader markup view depends on the Grader permissions set in the test settings.
- Graders can view and mark all questions
- Graders can view all questions, but only mark own questions
- Grader can only view and mark own questions
1. Graders can view and mark all questions
The Marking tool will appear normal. You have the permissions to view and grade all questions.
2. Graders can view all questions, but only mark own questions
You can see within the right-side marking panel, questions that are assigned to you. Questions that are not assigned to you will prompt you with insufficient permissions.
3. Grader can only view and mark own questions
The marking tool will appear normal. You can only see and mark the questions assigned to you, so the question numbering scheme may be segmented.
