Good practice guides and tip sheets have been developed to support quality in both curriculum design and teaching practice. Good practice guides provide a pedagogical overview and tip sheets provide you with practical strategies and ideas for implementation.
Links to assignment-related resources are provided below.
If you are marking offline (having set this up when you created the Assignment activity), there is a 3-step process: download (internet access required), mark (no internet access required – this is the 'offline' part), upload (internet
access required).
Download assignment submissions for marking offline
Open the assignment
Scroll down and click the View all submissions button
Select Download all submissions from the Grading action menu (at the top of the screen)
If a filter is selected, only the students in that group will be visible and be downloaded. There are two types of filters:
Group filters are at the top of the screen
Status filters are at the bottom of the screen under Options
To download specific submissions, select them by ticking the checkbox beside the relevant student's name – filters may still be used, but each required item must be checked. Then, use the With selected... drop-down menu at the bottom of the screen and select Download selected submissions To download a single submission, first open the required document by clicking on it. Choose Save as to save a copy to your preferred location. This file will not be zipped, so
extraction will not be necessary.
A zip file will download. To display the contents of the zip file:
Google Chrome – will display the download file in the bottom bar in the left corner. Click the arrow and select Open
Mozilla Firefox – a window will display. Select Open with… and click OK
Safari – the zip file is saved under Downloads
On Windows computers
You will need to extract the files out of the zip by clicking Extract all files in the toolbar (instructions may vary depending on what version of Windows you are using).
Once this is done you will be asked to select a path to extract to. This is the folder that the files will be saved to. Save the files somewhere that is easy for you to remember and access, as this is where you will be doing your marking. Click Browse… to
select a folder.
By leaving Show extracted files when complete ticked a window will open containing the files you extracted, ready for use.
On Mac computers
Go to Downloads and double-click on the zip file. The file will automatically be decompressed by Archive Utility into the same folder the zip file is in.
Tip – once you have extracted (saved) the contents of the zip, ensure you mark student work in the selected folder. This will make it easier for you to zip up the files once you have finished marking.
Download feedback files
If you include a feedback file (eg marking guide, rubric) when you create the assignment, FLO will generate a file for every student
(by including their FAN at the front of the file name). The download process is the same as for submissions (above) except that you choose Download feedback files in a zip from the Grading action menu:
Download the grading worksheet
Open the assignment
Scroll down and click the View all submissions button
Select Download grading worksheet from the Grading action menu (at the top of the screen)
To open the grading worksheet:
Google Chrome – will display the download file in the bottom bar in the left corner. Click the arrow and select Open
Mozilla Firefox – a window will display. Select Open with… and click OK
Safari – go to Downloads and double click on the csv file
The grading worksheet is not a zip file and therefore you will not need to extract anything. Save the grading worksheet in a location you will be able to remember
Note: If you are saving files anywhere outside of the University network (eg USB drive, Dropbox, Google Drive), please make sure you take regular backups of your work.
