How to Review Learners' Submissions

This guide walks you through the process of reviewing Learners’ submissions for Assignments on the platform.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Submissions represent learners’ responses to assignment tasks and are essential for tracking progress and providing feedback. In most cases, Instructor review is required for a submission to be marked as complete.


How to ensure all submissions are reviewed by Instructors

  1. Go to the course and open the Program tab.

  2. Find the assignment you want to assign.

  3. Select Settings.

  4. Toggle on Requires review.

By default, all new assignments require instructor review. This ensures:

  • Learners receive constructive feedback or/and a score

  • Instructors can track progress and spot learning gaps

If you disable mandatory submissions' review, the assignment will be moved on automatically to the Done column.

Note: Ensure that Instructor(s) are assigned to review course assignments via the corresponding tab.


How to find Learners' submissions for assignments

To review submitted work:

  1. Go to the Assignments tab.

  2. Click on All courses (or choose a course from a drop-down list) to view submitted work.

  3. Select a learner's submission to:

    • View attached files or answers

    • Leave comments or feedback

    • Change its status to Re-do, In progress, In review or Done.

Once reviewed, the submission status will be updated, and the learner will be notified.


Learners' submissions Kanban Board

Learners' submissions are conveniently organized on the Kanban Board featuring the following statuses for easy tracking:

  • Re-do

  • In Progress

  • In Review

  • Done

Please see the interactive demo:

Important: Submissions from Learners automatically transition to the "In Progress" status once they have at least opened and reviewed the assignment.

Instructors and Admins have the ability to efficiently manage Learners' submissions by easily **drag&drop'**ing submission cards between statuses.

Important: Assignments that Learners have not yet started working on are not visible on this Kanban Board.


Learners' submissions table view

The table view of all Learners' submissions is an alternative to the Kanban Board. You may switch to this table view in the top right corner of Assignments page:

Unlike the Kanban Board, the table view presents a comprehensive overview of submissions' statuses and statistics for the total submissions count per Learner.

The table view for submissions offers the ability to filter them by tags and assignments, and it can be exported in CSV file format if there is a need to have the statistics available at hand:


How to assess Learners' submissions

During the review process of Learners' submissions, instructors have access to all the necessary information, including:

  • assignment content

  • deadline

  • tags

  • the lesson or event content one click away

Instructors can provide valuable assistance to Learners in optimizing their assignments by:

  • leaving comments

  • uploading files, e.g. solution examples

  • recording Looms

  • sending back for improvements
