• Click Assignments in the navbar of your course.
• Click the desired assignment. You will land on the Users tab.

• For each submission you will see a flag icon. Click this icon to flag an assignment (or unflag it). A filled flag means you have flagged the submission.
• Click on Submissions to be able to filter the submissions with flags.

• Click Show Search Options.

1. Under Flag Status, use the drop-down menu to select whether you want to see the flagged assignments (Submissions with flags) or the unflagged assignments (Submissions without flag).

When creating a rubric and connecting it with an Assignment in Brightspace, you can use the rubric to assess submitted assignments.

• Click Assignments in the navbar of your course
• Click the Assignment you want to assess.

At the bottom of your screen you see the overview of all submissions. You can filter these submissions based on:

1. Student name (use the search bar);
2. Submission specifics. To do this, click the drop-down menu under Submissions and select:
   • Show everyone (all submissions);
   • Users with/without submissions (only those students who have or have not submitted their assignment). If you have filtered by Users with submissions, you can also select whether you want to see:
     • unread submissions only (Only show users with unread submissions);
     • assignments that were handed in during a specific period (you can specify the date and whether you want to see assignments that were handed in before or after that date);
     • submissions that were handed in late only (Late Submissions).
   • Users with preview submissions (for example, to see those assignments you or a colleague have handed in as a test);
   • Users with graded unpublished submissions (students whose assignments have already been assessed, but the assessment has not yet been published).
   • Furthermore, you can also select for each filter option whether you only want to see those students who are exempt (Users who are exempt).
3. Under Feedback you can filter all submissions (Show everyone) or just those with feedback (already assessed) or without feedback (Users with/without feedback).

• In this tab you can also download files, send an email to your students, mark submissions as read/unread, delete submissions, or publish the feedback you have given. To do so, select one or more students (or click the box at the top left to select everyone) and then click on the desired action. If you select and download several files at one, these files will be put together in a zip-file.
• Click on the file name of the document to open it for assessment/add feedback.

You can fill out the Rubric in two ways:

1. Click the box to open the Rubric in a new window.
2. Click the Rubric to open a short version of the Rubric in the menu.

The first method looks like this:

1. For each criterion, click on the level you want to award it.
2. You can add additional feedback for each criterion. Click Add Feedback to do so. A text box will open that allows you to give feedback to a student for each criterion.
3. On the right side you will see a column named Criterion Score. You will see the score achieved for each criterion. The Total score is the total of each of these scores.
4. At the bottom of the rubric you can find the total amount of points a student can acquire.
5. Overall Score shows you the performance level for the amount of points acquired. You can choose to change the automatically assigned performance level by clicking another level.
6. Click Close to return to the assignment. The feedback will be saved automatically.

The second method to fill out your Rubric works like this:

This version uses the shortened Rubric.

1. Use the slider to view and assign the levels for each criterium. You can look at the different levels by clicking the arrows on the left and right side of the bar. You can also move the gray box on the bar.
2. Click the gray box when it is at the right level to assign this level. A checkmark will appear in the assigned level.
3. You will see a description of the level you have selected below the bar.
4. Click Add Feedback to add feedback to the criterium.
5. Click the arrow in the right corner to fold the Rubric.

• You can see when you have not yet filled out all criteria because of the text below the Rubric.
• Click the statistics icon to view the statistics about the rubric.

1. Below Overall you will find the average score of all students on the rubric as a whole.
2. Below Criteria Statistics you will find the average score for all students for each criterium.
3. Below Individual Statistics you will find the statistics about specific students and which lecturer assessed.
4. Click Close to close the window.

1. Brightspace will enter the score and calculate the grade.
2. Below the three dots you will find three different options:
   • Edit Activity: Immediately go to the Assignment editing.
   • Preview Activity: Immediately go to the original Assignment. This applies to all people with Grader rights.
   • Special Access Dates: Immediately go to the special access features.
3. Use Overall Feedback to add general feedback. The feedback from the rubric will not be added here.
4. Click Publish/Update if you want to (re)publish the feedback (and grade) to the student.

• Click Save/Retract if you want to save the assessment but do not yet want to publish the result to the student.

After you have created a grade item and linked it to an assignment, you can use this grade item to assess assignments.

• Navigate to Activities in the navbar of your course.
• Click onAssignments.
• Click on the assignments you want to assess.

At the bottom of your screen you can find an overview of the submissions per student. You can filter these submissions based on:

1. Student name (use the search bar);
2. The type of submissions. To do this, go to Submissions and select:
   • Show everyone (all submissions);
   • Users with/without submissions (only those students who have or have not handed in the assignments). If you have filtered by Users with submissions, you can also select whether you want to see:
     • unread submissions only (Only show users with unread submissions);
     • assignments that were handed in during a specific period (you can specify the date and whether you want to see assignments that were handed in before or after that date);
     • submissions that were handed in late only (Late Submissions).
   • Users with preview submissions (for example, to see those assignments you have handed in yourself as a test);
   • Users with graded unpublished submissions (students whose assignments have already been assessed, but the assessment has not yet been published.
   • Furthermore, you can also select for each filter options whether you only want to see those students who are exempt (Users who are exempt).
3. Use Feedback to choose whether you want to see all submissions (Show everyone) or just those with or without feedback (Users with/without feedback).

• You can download files, mail them to students, mark them as read/unread, delete them, or publish the feedback you have given. To do so, select one or more students (or click the box at the top left to select everyone) and then click on the desired action. If you select and download several files at one, these files will be put together in a zip-file.
• Click on the file name of the document to assess it.

1. Enter the score manually. When a rubric has been added, Brightspace will calculate the grade automatically.
2. Use OverallFeedback to give general feedback in addition to the grade.
3. Click Publish/Update if you want to (re)publish the feedback and want to let the student know about their score.
4. Click Save/Retract if you want to save the assessment but do not yet want to show the student.

• It is also possible to assess the assignment with the help of a list, if you have connected a selectbox-type grade item to the assignment. In that case, you assign a predetermined value to the assignment that fits the students' performance.

When you have turned on anonymous marking while creating an assignment, you can assess the assignments without seeing which student handed in the assignment.

• While assessing, you will see the submissions by the students as Anonymous User <x>.
• The submissions are numbered in the order in which they were handed in.
• You can still assess these assignments like usual, but you cannot grade them. The publish button does not work yet. You can only publish with the button publish all feedback in the assignment. This means that you first have to review all of the assignments of the anonymous student(s) and then return them to all of the students simultaneously.
