April 10.8.0 – Adding feedback in bulk via Grades

This feature enables instructors to add generic feedback on learners’ grades in bulk. Instructors can use replacement strings to personalize their feedback. Instructors can also sort the Feedback column in the Gradebook and quickly determine which learners require feedback.

From grades, select the grade item you want to provide feedback for and choose Grade All from the dropdown to the right of the Grade Item name.

 

Select the students you wish to provide feedback to by check the box to the left of their name.  Use Show Search Options if you want to filter to only those students who do not yet have feedback.  Once you have selected the students click the Add Feedback button to compose and add the feedback for these students.

 

Replace strings, specially formatted codes that you can enter in automated emails, can be used to personalize the feedback.  Using the replace string {InitiatingUserFirstName} instead of the person’s name will automatically fill in the corresponding student name.
