Submission settings:
Submission attachment allowed file types:
You can restrict which file types students can submit to the workshop. Enter a comma-separated list of acceptable file extensions, for example "pdf, doc, docx". If you are not restricting the file types, you can leave this blank.
Feedback:
Overall feedback mode:
If enabled, a text field is displayed at the bottom of the assessment form. Reviewers can put the overall assessment of the submission there, provide additional explanation of their assessment and/or upload a marked document. You may specify if this is required or optional.
Conclusion:
This text is displayed to participants upon completing the Grading evaluation phase assessment.
Example submissions:
Use examples:
If enabled, students can try assessing one or more example submissions and compare their assessment with a reference assessment. The grade is not counted in the grade for assessment.
Mode of examples assessment:
This feature allows the instructor to make the assessment of the example submission voluntary or mandatory to complete. Assessment of the example submission can be set to mandatory either before students submit their own submission or before they submit their assessment.
Availability:
Switch to the next phase after the submissions deadline:
If the submissions deadline is specified and this box is checked, the workshop will automatically switch to the Assessment phase after the submissions deadline.
​
If you enable this feature, it is recommended that you set up the scheduled allocation method when you begin to edit the Workshop. If the submissions are not allocated, no assessment can be done even if the workshop itself is in the Assessment phase.
