Description
During the Submission Phase, students will submit their work according to the instructions and criteria established in the Setup Phase and instructors will allocate the submissions for peer review. Before moving to the Submission Phase, make sure all the settings are correct. There are many options in creating a workshop.
This Guide Will Help You to:
Move to the Submission Phase
Once you move to the Submission Phase, students will be able to begin submitting their work. If you have set a specific start/end date during the Setup Phase, submissions will be limited to those dates. If you would like to set a submission window, you can do that in the Availability section of the workshop settings.
For more information, see Workshop Activity: The Setup Phase - Creating a Workshop [Faculty]. Make sure that all the settings are correct before moving to the Submission Phase.
In the Submission Phase, when students click on the name of the workshop, they will see the Workshop Planner with a list of the tasks they need to complete and reminders of submission due dates (if you have set a due date). During the Submission Phase, students are able to edit their submissions.
Warning: The workshop MUST be in the Submission Phase for students to submit their work (even if you have set a submission window using the Availability section within the settings).
Do the following to move to the Submission Phase:
-
Click on the name of the Workshop.
-
In the Workshop Planner, beneath the Submission Phase title, Click the circle icon to begin the phase.
-
You will see a message that describes what can be done during the Submission Phase.
-
Click Continue to move to the Submission Phase.
Allocate Submissions to Students
Warning: you will need to wait for all participants to submit their assignment to keep the process running smoothly, just one late/absent submission can be tedious to fix
After students have submitted their work, you will need to distribute the submissions to other students for the Assessment Phase. In the Workshop Planner, you will see the number of students in your class next to Expected. As students submit their work, you will see the number of submissions next to Submitted. You can also see a list of the submissions below the Workshop Planner.
Note: It is best to have an odd number of reviewers for the Grade for assessment to be calculated. Instructors assessments are counted, if the submissions have been allocated to the instructor.
