Work Sample Teachers: Review & Archive Student Uploaded Assignment Submissions

When a student uploads a work sample, or assignment, the teacher will need to go into the SIS to Approve and/or Grade the Students uploaded Work.

There are two ways to See if  Work Samples/Assignments have been uploaded by Students.

How to see if Work Samples/ Assignments have been uploaded

1.Student Roster Page

or

2. Reports: Teachers > Compliance > Student Assignment Submissions

Student Portal Uploads of Work Samples:

From your student Roster, in the Students Record,

In front of the Learning Period Icons, you will see a white Paper Icon, this Icon Indicates that the Student HAS uploaded a work sample or Assignment from the Student Portal

Click the Paper Icon to View/Approve work submitted as a Work Sample and / or Grade the assignment

You will then be directed to the Assignments page where you have the option to filter as necessary.

Scroll down to view Assignments Submitted

Select the Assignments you wish to View

Click Review Selected

The Assignment will appear on the Left Side of the Screen for you to view

The Box on The Right Hand Side of the page is where you can:

• Grade
• Save as a Work Sample for Learning Period (Check this box if you use Archiving)
• Add Comments
• Reject Work Sample

 Once you are finished viewing one Assignment you can click SAVE & GO to Next Assignment (if there have been multiple items uploaded)

If you want a Watermark on the Work Sample for Archiving Purpose

Please be sure the policy is on

How to turn on the policy to get the Watermark on the Work Sample

Another way to get ot the area to view and approve Work Samples: 

Teachers > Compliance > Student Assignment Submissions

Students can  turn in their completed assignments via an upload to the student portal.

When submitted, the teacher will be able to review all student assignments in a virtual stack.

Final Approval for Work Samples to be Archived:

Teacher> Compliance> Archive Compliance

• Adjust Filters as Needed, note in the image below I adjusted the report type to pull in only Work Samples
  
  Once the report pulls in the data, you can choose to approve the Work Samples one by one or use the Approval Stack
  

In the VIRTUAL STACK Section:

• Teacher will be able to grade and comment on each assignment.
• Users who have the Archiving module will also be able to select assignments as work samples for their students.
• Teachers can click the Hammer Icon to open Zip file to view Work Samples/ Assignments and their WaterMark
  
  
  
  

Work Sample View When Archived:

Page 2. Right side of the Work Sample, you will see Student Name and LP, and Class Title in a rectangle box, this is the watermark.(Be sure to turn this policy on to see the WATERMARK)

Benefits to Having the Students upload their work

1. All entered grades and comments will be synchronized with the gradebook.
