The marking screen
The marking screen opens when you click a student's script. For step-by-step help, see Check and change marks.
Top bar
From left to right:
| What you see | What it does |
|---|---|
| Assignment | Go back to the assignment page. |
| Student name, with arrows either side | The arrows move to the previous or next student. Click the name to pick another student. |
| Saved / Saving… / Not saved yet / Not saved (and a few rarer labels) | Save status. See what each one means. The clock icon beside it shows who changed which mark. |
| Question box (for example Q1 2 marks), with arrows either side | Click it to jump to a question. The arrows move to the previous or next question. |
| Tick icon (Accept all n suggestions) | Accept every suggested mark on this script. Once you have accepted some, it says Accept remaining n suggestions. |
Score and Feedback (for example 0 / 5) | The script's total so far. Click it to open the Grade panel, with a Scores tab (on essays, enter Content and Language scores here) and a Feedback tab (the summary the student sees). See Essays. |
| Mark as Complete | Finishes the script. See When you have finished this script. |
| ... | More actions. |
| Regrade… | Ask ren. to mark some or all questions again. On an essay marked as one whole script, it says Regrade submission…. See Regrade. |
Under the top bar, a green banner says Dashed boxes are AI marks. Click one to turn it into a mark you can edit. An outdated AI mark is for reference only. It also reminds you that you can ask the marking copilot about this script. Close any banner with the X. A closed banner shrinks to a small tag in the top bar; click the tag to read it again.
Toolbar
The toolbar is the column of icons on the left of the script. From top to bottom:
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Snippet | Draw a box around part of the answer to give it a mark or comment. |
| Write | Write on the script with a pen or highlighter. |
| Erase | Remove pen marks, ticks, crosses and text. |
| Component | Place ticks and crosses on the script. |
| Text | Type text on the script. You can save a comment you use often as a sticker. |
| Move | Drag the page without marking it. Useful when zoomed in. |
| (i) | Explains what the marking tools do. |
| Undo | Undo your last pen stroke. |
At the top right of the script:
| What you see | What it does |
|---|---|
| Page counter | Shows the page you are on, for example Page 1 of 2. Click it to jump to another page. |
| Zoom | Zoom out, the current zoom (for example 100%), zoom in. |
A script you have already finished opens in a view-only page instead, with Unfinalise at the top. See Unfinalise.
The panel beside a box
Click any solid box to open its panel on the right.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| X | Close the panel. |
| Add to chat icon | Send this box to the marking chat. |
| Bin icon | Delete this box and its mark. |
| View AI interpretation icon | See what ren. read in this part of the script. |
| Sparkle icon (Doesn't seem right?) | Ask the marking chat to take a second look at this mark. |
| Topics & Bloom | Tag the topic and Bloom's level the answer shows. |
| Comment | The comment the student sees. Click to edit. |
| Microphone | Speak your comment instead of typing it. |
| Q# | The question this mark belongs to. |
| Score boxes | The marks given, and the marks it is out of (for example 1 / 2). |
| View answer scheme icon | See the answer scheme (your marking scheme) for this question. |
| Score still right? / Looks right | Shown when ren. asks you to confirm a mark. Click Looks right to keep it, or change the mark. |
Under the panel, a hint says Press ? to see keyboard shortcuts. See Keyboard shortcuts.
Bottom right
The ? button at the bottom right opens short guides you can try on sample data. The Marking chat button sits below it.
There is no save button and no separate full screen view. Everything saves as you work, and the normal view already gives the script the whole screen.
Regrade
- Click Regrade…. The Regrade questions pop-up opens.
- Tick the questions you want ren. to mark again, then click Regrade n questions. Or click Grade all. To close without regrading, click Cancel.
Only those questions change. Marks you wrote yourself are kept, with ren.'s new suggestion next to them.
If you tick Remove the AI marks I've already accepted, the suggestions you accepted on those questions are removed. This includes accepted marks you then changed. Only boxes you drew yourself with Snippet are kept. This cannot be undone from the marking screen. Leave it unticked to keep them.
The box is unticked each time the pop-up opens. You only see it if you accepted a suggestion on one of the questions.
Unfinalise
A finished script is locked and opens in a view-only page. To change it, click Unfinalise at the top. The note beside it says Unfinalising this script keeps the edits to its summary. See Change a mark on a finished script.
