The Student Assessment component, or File Upload Assessment (depending on your version of Xen) allows you to request learners to upload files encapsulating their work on assignments.
Instructors can then download these files and enter grades accordingly.
Steps to Use the Student Assessment Component:
1. Select the Student Assessment Component
Head to your content and choose the Advanced component type. Select the Student Assessment option.
2. Configure the Assignment
Press Edit and enter the relevant details for your assignment. Scoring will depend on your grading criteria.
3. Provide Instructions
It’s recommended to precede your Student Assessment component with instructions in an HTML component. Here’s some text you might use:
Use the “Select a File” button below to choose the file you wish to have graded. After selecting the file, the button will change to the file's name. Click the button again to upload.
Once the upload is complete, a link will appear with the name of your file. Click it to confirm that the upload was successful. You can replace this file by simply selecting another file and uploading it. After the due date has passed, you will no longer be able to upload files.
4. Grade Submissions
Publish your new page, and once submissions are gathered from learners, a staff member can click the Grade Submissions button in the Staff Tools or Instructor View (depending on your version of Xen) to view and issue grades.
