Feedback enhancements
In-margin feedback
View and edit all of your QuickMarks and comments in the margin.
QuickMark and comment cards
QuickMark and comment cards appear in the margins of the submission and are connected to on-submission feedback.
Colored badges appear at the top of each card to provide more information about each card.
- QuickMark and comment badges appear at the top of the card. This indicates the type of feedback. A comment badge looks like a speech bubble with text in it, while a QuickMark badge looks like a speech bubble with a lightning strike in it.
- A pin badge indicates that a comment has been prioritized.
- A rubric badge indicates that the feedback is linked directly to a rubric criterion.
At the top right of each card is an options menu which provides additional options for that card. This menu is dynamic and updates based on the type of feedback included.
QuickMark creation
You can now create QuickMarks from the Feedback side panel and from within the in-margin card.
You can also create QuickMarks from within the QuickMark Manager.
Pinned feedback
Use the pinned feedback feature to prioritize important comments for your student. Pinned comments are indicated by a yellow pushpin icon at the top left of the QuickMark or comment card.
All pinned feedback appears in the margin and is listed under the Summary tab.
Comment colors
QuickMarks, comments, and inline comments are customizable into three accessible colors: blue, green, and pink. Blue is the default color.
Improved search
Quickly search for QuickMarks by title and/or description across all active QuickMark sets.
After performing a search, you can then filter the results by titles, descriptions, or both.
If there are no results returned, you can create a new QuickMark within the modal by selecting the Add New QuickMark button.
Grading enhancements
Ranged rubric scoring
Enabling ranged rubric scoring allows you to evaluate each rubric criterion on a moving scale rather than by assigning a static number.
Decimal scoring and linked feedback
Any rubric that uses a numeric value can have decimals, which allows for additional flexibility in scoring rubric criteria.
Any feedback (both QuickMarks and comments) linked to a rubric criterion is indicated by the comment with a number icon next to the rubric criterion and weight. The feedback displays below the score.
Importing rubrics
You can now import rubrics into the enhanced grading and feedback experience. Once the rubric is imported, scoring can be updated.
Accepted file types for import are .rbc, .xls, and .xlsx.
Excel files have the following requirements:
- Criterion titles must be 25 characters or less.
- There is a limit of 20 scale columns and 50 criterion rows.
QuickMark and Rubric Manager enhancements
The QuickMark Manager and the Rubric Manager now support .xls and .xlsx files for importing and exporting.
Import
You can import your .xls and .xlsx files into the Managers, which allows you to add your existing rubrics and feedback to Turnitin's Feedback Studio. You can also edit the QuickMarks and rubric before adding them to the first assignment.
Export
You can export existing QuickMark sets and rubrics using the managers. This allows you to export, view, edit, and share your content.
