Grading in VoiceThread
VoiceThread
VoiceThread is an interactive collaboration and sharing tool that enables students to build online presentations by adding images, documents, and videos, and other media to which other users can add comments for discussion. Grading is made easy with graded VoiceThread activities as assigned scores are automatically connected to and passed back into the Canvas Gradebook. This page walks you through the grading process.
Submitting Assignments
When students go to your assignment, they will see the interface to complete the required work and submit. For details, visit the assignment guide for students.
Grading Submissions
To grade your students’ submissions, just return to the assignment you have set up in VoiceThread. You will see the grading interface automatically. When you click on the VoiceThread assignment, you will be able to see which students have completed the assignment on the right. Click on a student’s name to see that student’s submission.
Grade status categories
On the right side of the page, you will see your course roster. If a student is missing from the roster, it means that the student has not clicked into your assignment at all yet, but they will appear as soon as they do. Students can fall into three categories:
- Submitted: Students who have submitted their final assignment.
- In progress: Students who have started working on the assignment but have not yet submitted.
- Unattempted: Students who have not yet begun working on the assignment.
Grading Process
You can enter grades for students who are listed as “Submitted” or “In progress.” Click on a student’s name to see their submission, then enter a grade on a percentage scale (0-100) into the text box or pass/fail selector on the right. This grade will immediately be passed back into your Canvas course gradebook.
