Assessment Evaluations

Assessment Evaluations

Roles: Primary Admin, Admin, Manager

Description: In this article, you will learn how to evaluate learners' assessment submissions, take over a submission another evaluator started, and correct Fill In Blank answers that were scored automatically.

Benefits:

  • Scores for open answers: Give a score and feedback on Free Text and Upload File answers.
  • Shared workload: Admins, managers, and event instructors can evaluate.
  • Fair results: Fix a correct Fill In Blank answer that was marked wrong because of a typo.

When a submission needs evaluation

Single Choice, Multiple Choice, Fill In Blank, Ordering, and Matching questions are scored automatically. Free Text and Upload File answers need an evaluator.

When a learner submits an assessment that needs evaluation, the people who can evaluate it get an evaluation request by email and in the app. Selecting the notification opens the evaluation.

Admins and event instructors can evaluate. Managers can evaluate their reportees' submissions only when Manager Evaluation is set to Enable for the training. See Assessment Types and Settings in Auzmor Learn.

Step by step: evaluate a submission

  1. Go to your Home page and click View All next to Pending Evaluations.
  2. On the Pending tab, find the submission. See Pending Evaluations for the columns and filters.
  3. Click the Start Evaluation icon in the Action column.
  4. Review each answer. For an Upload File answer, click the download arrow to open the file. To see the learner's other answers too, click Show all responses.
  5. Enter a score out of 100 for each answer and choose the evaluation that fits. Add feedback in the comment box if you like (up to 500 characters).
  6. Click Submit.

The submission moves to the Completed tab. The learner gets an email with a link to their assessment summary.

Note: Learners can see their score only after the evaluation is complete.

Step by step: unlock a submission another evaluator started

When someone starts an evaluation, it is locked to them, and their name shows in the Evaluator column. Admins can release it, for example when that person is away.

  1. On the Pending tab, find the submission.
  2. Click the Unlock Submission icon in the Action column. It shows only on submissions that someone else started.
  3. Click the Start Evaluation icon to evaluate it yourself.

Step by step: view a completed evaluation

  1. Click the Completed tab.
  2. Click the View Evaluation icon for the submission.

The screen is read-only. A message at the top says who completed the evaluation. Use the Attempts dropdown to switch between attempts, or Next Learner to move on.

Correct a Fill In Blank answer

Fill In Blank answers are scored automatically by comparing them with the answers set on the question. A typo can make a right answer count as wrong. After the assessment is complete, an evaluator can mark that answer correct.

  1. Open the learner's assessment result page from Assessment Progress in the Insights tab of the course, event, or path. You can also reach it from the learner's profile or a team page.
  2. If the learner made more than one attempt, select the attempt.
  3. Under the incorrect answer, click Edit Evaluation.
  4. Click Correct. You can add a comment of up to 500 words. To reverse your choice before you submit, click Undo.
  5. Click Submit.
  6. In the Submit Re-evaluation window, click Continue.

The question shows a Re-evaluated tag. The attempt's score and result are recalculated once for all the questions you changed.

  • You can only add credit. You cannot take it away.
  • Each question can be re-evaluated once. After that it is read-only.
  • Only Fill In Blank answers that were marked incorrect can be re-evaluated.
  • If the learner moves from Failed to Passed, the training is marked complete, and certificates and path progress follow your settings.
  • The learner gets one notification (email, in-app, and push) for each submission, whether or not the result changes.

Note: Re-evaluation happens on the result page. In Pending Evaluations, Fill In Blank answers are read-only.

Common questions

Why can't I start an evaluation?

Another evaluator may have started it already. If you are an admin, unlock it. If you are a manager and the row is greyed out, Manager Evaluation is set to Disable for that training, and an admin needs to enable it.

Can I change a score after I submit?

No. Completed evaluations are read-only. The exception is a Fill In Blank answer marked incorrect, which you can correct once.

I can't find a submission.

On the Evaluations page, open Also include and select Archived Courses or Inactive Users.
