Use this article to view activities that need to be graded using the widget on the Educator Launchpad. You can choose to select a single activity to grade or to launch a queue and work through multiple activities at one time.
When using the Work to Grade queue, consider the following:
- The queue is built based on the sorting method that you have chosen. For example, if you sort by student name, the queue will be ordered by student name. If you don't sort the queue, it defaults to sorting by the Submitted date with the oldest activity listed first.
- Queue selections are limited to the current page, with a maximum page count of 100 activities.
- Once you are in the queue, if you need to change the page, sort, filters, or rows-per-page setting, you must first clear the selection.
- Scores are saved individually when you click Submit. You do not have to finish the entire queue for previously submitted scores to count.
- If you skip items in the queue, they remain in Work to Grade for you to review at another time.
