Licence Defined Assessor Types - Licence Administration

Assessor types are used to define the privileges that a group of assessors has, thereby allowing your institution to define its own assessor types to best fit the marking practices. Assessor types also provide the opportunity to furnish assessors with flow-level instructions on the marking role they have been assigned.

Assessor types are firstly defined at the licence level by the licence administrator but can be adjusted at the flow level by the manager.

At the licence level

Assessor Types can be found on the Licence Configuration tab for the licence administrator.

1. Set Grade Justification: Select the assessor type that should automatically receive any grade justification requests. Note that if more than one assessor possesses the chosen assessor type, the requests will remain unassigned.
   
2. Set Legacy SIS: It is possible to replace the default Internal and External Assessor Types with assessor types created by your institution.
   
   Select the replacement assessor type from the dropdown list.
3. Create Assessor Type:
   
   
   Enter a title, choose a colour for the label and enter a description. Select whether the added assessor type is to be offered as a default on all new flows on the licence.
   
   Next, select the privileges that the assessor type should have:
   View submitted Grades from Co-Assessors: In the grade pane of the new marking tool, assessors will be able to see the final grades submitted by their co-assessor(s).
   Access to similarity report: A similarity report will be visible for each participant within the marking tool.
   Visible to participants: Allows the name of the assessor to be visible to student within the flow. Please note that this supersedes the setting that appeared on the flow page for the manager and is now managed within assessor types. 
   
   Finally, select which sharing states an assessor should have as the default but also, which other sharing states should be available to them. Once an assessor type has been defined by the licence administrator, unless any changes are made at the flow level by the manager, the default sharing status will be provided each time to an assessor adding an annotation, common or submission comment. Although set as the default, the assessor can change the sharing status of an individual annotation or comment, unless restricted under the available sharing states.
   
   Each licence can carry a maximum of 30 assessor types. Two are the current internal and external assessor types available on all licences. This leaves 28 that can be created for your institution.
4. Identifies how many assessor types are listed and adjusts if the list is filtered.
5. Column headers define the title, description, created timestamp, modified timestamp and who it was modified by. The table can be personalised by the toggling columns and off (see number 8).
6. Legacy SIS: Map the current default assessor types of Internal Assessor and External Assessor to any your institution defined ones.
7. Default Flow: Identifies all assessor types that have are automatically available on a new flow by default. This can be altered at the flow level.
8. Toggle columns on and off to be displayed or hidden in the table according to your preference.
9. Edit: Edit an assessor type which will display the same pop-up window for creating a new assessor type.
10. Delete: Delete an assessor type. Note that Internal Assessor and External Assessor are the two original types that appear on all licences. These cannot be deleted. Only assessor types that have been created on your licence can be deleted.
