Academic leaders

Support the assessment process.

Give staff appropriate authoring, marking and release responsibilities across the courses they manage.

Setting and collecting work

From the first draft to the released result.

Explore saved submissions, individual deadlines, paper-based assessments and when feedback becomes visible.

Can students save work and return later?

Yes. Students can save a draft and return to it before submitting. The explicit submission step creates the submitted attempt and receipt.

Can we give one student more time?

Yes. Authorised staff can adjust that learner’s opening, due or closing dates and allow additional attempts.

Can we record a paper-based assessment?

Yes. An offline assessment supports teacher-entered results without requiring a student upload.

When can students see marks and feedback?

After the saved marking result is released. Draft marks and feedback remain private staff work. Parents also need the appropriate access to their linked child’s released results.
