Comments can be managed through the Comment library tool, which can be accessed through the book icon in the tool menu at the top right of your grading canvas.
The comment library stores comments you use to grade each question. Depending on permissions, you may also be able to view and reuse comments created by other team members.
Benefits of using the Comment library include:
Once a comment is in the library, it can be used to grade that question through the entire assessment.
If you select a comment then edit the content, it will save as a new comment.
Comments from randomized questions are labelled by version, and they are available to be used across any version of that question.
Comments can be edited once to change every instance used across the assessment
Instructors and Facilitators can also set up comments in the comment library or set a rubric using comments before grading starts.
By default, Graders can only see their own evaluations and comments, plus any shared by an Instructor or Facilitator. In assessment settings, you can turn on additional visibility for Graders.
View everyone’s evaluations: Allows Graders to see each other’s evaluations
View and use everyone’s comments: Allows Graders to view and reuse comments created by anyone on the team
Searching for comments
You can search for a specific comment by opening the Comment library and clicking the magnifying glass icon.
While grading, existing comments will auto-load as you type. Once you see the comment you would like to use, you can use the arrow keys to navigate to it and select it, or click it with the mouse to apply it.
Reviewing comment usage
In the Comment library you can see the percentage of graded questions that have a particular comment attached.
Using the three dots menu, Instructors and Facilitators can view a particular comment’s usage across the assessment. Graders can see usage if the transparency toggle is turned on in the Assessment settings page. Clicking View usage will show filtered booklets where this comment has been applied. An Instructor or Facilitator can also edit all uses of a comment across an assessment, or edit their own uses only. Graders can edit their own uses only, editing a comment created by another user will create a new comment. There is also an option to delete a comment from the library. Keep in mind a comment cannot be deleted if it has been used in an evaluation.
