Before you start

For Teachers

  • Use a teacher account assigned to the class and subject.
  • Confirm the school’s grading scale and assessment policy.

Create the assignment

Open Assignments and create work for your assigned class and subject. Enter instructions, due date, total marks and the appropriate assignment type.

Check assessment treatment

Choose the formative or summative treatment required by your school. Check how it contributes to results rather than assuming all assignments have equal weight.

Enter marks

Use the assignment grading or gradebook view. Match each mark to the right student, check the maximum score and confirm that the change saved.

Write useful feedback

Add teacher-written feedback in the available comments fields. State what the student did well and what they should work on next.

Review before reporting

Check missing marks, unusual values and calculated results. Work with the academic administrator to correct locked or issued reports.

Good practice

  • Keep missing work distinct from a zero mark.
  • Use a consistent rubric for the class.
  • Check the publication workflow before telling families that results are available.
