The Markbook Grid tab enables you to mark assessment results for programme units that you are associated with (for example: you can mark assessments in a per assignment basis for all learners on that unit).
Note: You must have the Markbook User role assigned in User Roles in ebs: ontrack Teaching and Learning and a staff link to a UIO which is not of type Course Build or Owner for the Markbook Grid tab to be displayed.
Users configured as the Department Head can view academic and vocational markbook elements (where they are available) on the Curriculum Head tab.
When marking assessment results that have a pass or fail marking criteria (that is: for a vocational markbook), the following applies:
- If the check box is selected, the assessment result is marked with the default pass grade as defined by the grading scheme and also represents an assessment that has previously been marked with the default pass grade
- If the check box is not selected, the assessment result is marked with the default fail grade as defined by the grading scheme and also represents an assessment that has previously been marked with the default fail grade
-
If the check box is indeterminate (that is: a strikethrough), the assessment result is not changed and also represents an assessment that has been previously unmarked
Note: When an assessment has been marked, the indeterminate status is not available
You can also bulk update assessments in the Assessments grid in ebs: central.
The Academic Markbook grid differs from the vocational grid and is primarily intended for academic courses (for example: A Levels).
Rather than displaying check boxes, the academic grid displays the minimum and maximum marks possible for the assessment. The values for each assessment can then be entered into the relevant fields for each learner.
