The left hand panel of the human marking interface contains a list of questions in the text document which require human marking (optionally you can display the machine marked questions too by de-selecting the View only human markable checkbox at the bottom of the left hand panel). Click on the Imagef7.png icon next to the question name to view the candidate answers for that question, and on an individual candidate answer to begin marking. You can enter marks and navigate between student answers either by using the mouse or using the keyboard or by using a combination of both.

Using the Mouse to Award Marks and Navigate Between Answers

Marks can be awarded to a candidate answer by selecting a mark from the Marks drop down list using the mouse. You can navigate to the next candidate answer by clicking on the Next button on the bottom toolbar (and back again by clicking on the Previous button).

Using the Keyboard to Award Marks and Navigate Between Answers

The human marking interface has been designed to make it easy to award marks and navigate between answers using just the keyboard. For relatively short answers where no comments are inserted, this is typically the quickest way to mark.

When a candidate answer is selected, the Marks drop down is automatically selected. To enter a mark just type the number using the keyboard. Hit the <return> or <tab> key to move to the next candidate answer. The full list of navigation keys which is supported is :

  • <return> or <tab> or <right arrow> : go to next candidate answer
  • <shift-tab> or <leftt arrow> : go to previous candidate answer
  • <c> or <alt-c> : insert comment (the cursor must be in the student answer for this to work)

 

Inserting Comments

To insert a comment into a candidate answer, click with the mouse where you wish to position the cursor in the text, and click the Insert Comment button or hit <c> or <alt-c> on the keyboard. Enter the comment text in the dialog which appears, and click on OK. The comment is inserted into the candidate answer, and tagged with the name of the marker, as shown below.

To delete a comment, click inside it with the mouse and click on the Delete Comment button.
