In-Person Marking

Mark students in person with Pass, Partial, or Fail status

In-Person Marking allows you to evaluate student work on a per-module basis during training sessions. It provides a simple way to give students feedback on their progress.

In-Person Marking is designed for classroom environments where teachers directly observe and evaluate student work.

Accessing In-Person Marking

1
Navigate to In-Person Marking

In the sidebar, click on "In-Person Marking" under the session menu (only visible for training sessions).

Select a Module

Use the module tabs at the top to switch between different modules you want to mark.

Use quick mark buttons or click Edit/Mark to provide detailed feedback.

Marking Status Options

Each student can be marked with one of three statuses per module:

Pass — Student has successfully completed the module requirements. Comment is optional.
Partial — Student has partially completed the requirements. Comment is required to explain what's missing.
Fail — Student has not met the module requirements. Comment is required to provide feedback.

Quick Marking

For efficient marking, use the quick mark buttons in the table:

  • Pass button (green checkmark) — Instantly marks as Pass without requiring a comment
  • Partial button (yellow minus) — Opens the marking modal to add a required comment
  • Fail button (red X) — Opens the marking modal to add a required comment

Detailed Marking

Click the Edit or Mark button to open the marking modal where you can:

  • Select the marking status (Pass, Partial, or Fail)
  • Add detailed feedback comments for the student
  • Update existing markings

Student Credentials

Each student row displays their login credentials for easy access:

Username — The student's system username with a one-click copy button
Password — The student's password with a one-click copy button for quick access

Use the copy buttons to quickly copy credentials when you need to log in as a student to review their work.

Viewing Student Work

The marking table provides quick access buttons to student resources:

Marking Overview

Click the Overview button in the card header to see a summary of all markings across all modules. The overview shows:

  • Summary statistics (total passed, partial, failed, and unmarked)
  • Per-student progress across all modules
  • Per-module breakdown with visual progress bars

Student Feedback Visibility

You can configure when students see their marking feedback in the session settings:

Show teacher marking to students — Enable or disable feedback visibility entirely
Wait for module to end — When enabled, students only see feedback after the module completes
These settings are only available for training sessions and can be found in Settings > Marking section.

Best Practices

  • Be specific in comments — Help students understand exactly what needs improvement
  • Mark consistently — Use the same criteria across all students
  • Use quick mark for Pass — Save time by using the quick mark button for students who clearly passed
  • Review the overview regularly — Monitor overall class progress and identify students who need extra help
