Tool Tips: Hidden feature of Moodle marking guide

Feedback is integral to student learning and development, yet it is among the most neglected when it comes to assessment marking. And this could be due to reasons such as large number of submissions,  laborious processes of marking, or it simply gets old by the 100th essay! 

If this resonates with you, here is a great feature of the Moodle marking guide that can help you save time while providing meaningful feedback to students. The frequently used comments. 

While setting up your marking guide for assignments in Moodle, you can also create a bank of frequently used comments. These comments serve as templates that can be easily inserted into the feedback comment fields and edited during marking. This can save you from repeatedly typing similar feedback for hundreds of students, keep marking contained in Moodle, and provide all students an equal level of details in their feedback. 

Here is a video demonstration for implementing this in Moodle. 


Give this a go for your next assignment, and don't hesitate to reach out to your Ed designer for support.
