Each Moodle course has an associated Grader report. If the Grader report for
a Moodle course is made visible to students
(in the course settings), they can access it
by clicking on the Grades link
in the navigation block:
The User report displays each
gradable activity in a Moodle course (e.g.
Turnitin assignments, Quizzes) and presents
students with a breakdown of their released
grades for each element.
The Grader report allows the
lecturer the opportunity to view and change
each gradable element, as well as organise
them into categories, set weightings, and
calculate totals in various ways:
When you add an assessed item such
as an assignment in a Moodle course, the
Grader report automatically creates space for
the grades it will produce and adds the grades
as they are generated, either by the system or
by you.
Once you enter grades in a Turnitin
assignment, these grades will automatically be
added to the Moodle course Grader report. The
grades will remain hidden from students in the
Grader report until the assignment post date
has passed. When the post date is reached, and
if the Grader report is visible to students,
they will be able to view their Turnitin
assignment grade in the Moodle course Grader
report.
Important Note about the Visibility of Grades in the Moodle Grader Report
When you are setting up a
Turnitin assignment for grading and
communicating feedback, it is important
that you set the Turnitin assignment post date correctly. Though the post date can be changed after
setting up the Turnitin assignment, making
changes to the setting has been known to
cause an issue with the grades becoming
visible in the Moodle course Grader report
in advance of the post date. If you do
need to make changes to the post date,
always check the Moodle Grader report
to ensure the grade item for the
Turnitin assignment is still hidden
from students.
It is also important to avoid
hiding and showing the Turnitin assignment
on the Moodle course page. Making changes
to the assignment hide and show settings
has also been known to interfere with how
the post date releases grades back
to the Moodle course Grader report. If
you must change the hide and show
setting for the Turnitin assignment,
always check the Moodle Grader report
to ensure the grade item for the
Turnitin assignment is still hidden
from students.
