markbook

Arooj set up an assessment tracking or 'markbook' within WE-Learn for Y9 pupils. Pupils had to carry out a review of a video that someone had produced. This is taken from Arooj's case report:

What I did

I created a resources which I tagged as an assignment and this automatically created a mark book ie a list of names with attached columns for whether pupils had submitted their assignments, the date they did this, this gave a list of those who had not submitted on time. When it came to marking the assignments I clicked on the relevant box and the assignment uploaded. I reviewed each on screen and filled in the text box within Markbook and assign a pass / fail grade.

What I liked about this

It was easy to track pupils and to give them feedback on their work. I think the pupils enjoyed it and I think I got a better response using this. I liked doing this on line as I did not need to print out and use lots of paper.

Any problems?

Yes, I had to teach the pupils had to upload as it was not very intuitive. The software was quite clunky.
