Assignment Turn-In & Grading System Launched

When we launched Edmodo just a little over a month ago our assignment system was pretty much just a notification for assignments. We are proud to announce a complete Assignment Turn-In and Grading system has been added to Edmodo.

After a teacher has posted an assignment in Edmodo a student will see a link to turn-in the assignment in the assignment post.

When the student has completed their assignment according to the teachers instructions, they are ready to “turn-in” their assignment by clicking on the Turn-In link.

Once the Student turns in their assignment the post will then be marked as “waiting” for their teacher to grade the assignment.

Once students turn in assignments, the teacher will be notified.

Now the assignment is ready to grade. We currently only have 1 student in this demo class, but all your students would show up in the following screenshot for your classes.

Time to review & grade!!!

Once you’ve graded the assignment your students will be notified of their grade in Edmodo.

Please let us know what you think of the Assignment Turn-In & Grading System. We are striving to make Edmodo as best we can and make it a first class learning platform.

I have a problem. My teacher told me to submit my new answers but I can't because the 'turn in' already changed to 'grade' and I can't turn in anymore. If I just post it, my other classmates will see my answers. How can I submit my answers again?

You can ask your teacher to delete your "turned-in" assignment and resubmit it.

Thank you very much!

One thing I'd really like to see is something to replace ExamView's learning and test center. I was able to upload an ExamView test, the students could take it, the computer would grade it and send me a report. Any possibility of doing something like that?

A difficulty that I have been having with my students is file compatibility. When turning in homework, students often make mistakes such as saving the name as (student.student) instead of (student.doc), and these sorts of errors. There are also compatibility issues with various text editors, especially with the new Vista software, .docx. These issues have caused me to discontinue use of the homework turn-in feature, but I think if Edmodo had a built-in text editor, students could cut and paste in their assignments, and have everything in the same format.

Kylene, We don't have a way to lock out turned in assignments once they are past due at this time. If you go into the grade portion of the assignment, you will see under where you assign a grade the due date & the date turned in. I think it's up to the teacher to assign an appropriate grade if it's after the due based on your rules. Some teachers allow students to turn in assignments after but take points off, so automatically locking a student out wouldn't be appropriate. We are trying to make things simple by not giving a ton of options that teachers have to learn.

What happens when you put a due date on an assignment and not all students have it turned in? Are they blocked from turning it in? If not, that would be a nice feature to add. Also, if you want to unblock it for a student that has been absent, could you do that on an individual basis. Otherwise, I would like it to be blocked so students can no longer post their assignment after the due date so they know that due dates are due dates! Thanks! My students love it and are participating so much more in class now while blogging online.

Is there or could there soon be a way to grade assignments one right after the other without having to click "back to recipients" and hunt for the next ungraded assignment?

(Loving the site, by the way!)

Kristi, not at this time, but I could see this being added in the future. Thanks for the suggestion.

Is there a way for students to edit their turned in assignments or redo them?
Thanks,

Tom, not now but this is definitely future functionality we want to build. We have talked about this already.

Is there a place where the instructor can see all of the group members and their grades for each assignment? Maybe an export out to Xcel, which can import into my grade book.

Can Assignment Turn-in & Grading be turned off if desired by the instructor to prevent confusion when used in conjunction with a learning management system?
