Attach Files in Grades  

Feedback files are now available in Grades for Assignments, Quizzes, and Discussions. This update will introduce an important update that enhances the visibility of files within the Grades tool. While feedback has always been accessible through the Grades tool, this update now allows students to view files related to Assignments, Quizzes, and Discussions directly within the Grades tool, offering a more comprehensive view of their performance and feedback.

This ensures when an instructor attaches files, such as annotated documents or additional resources, to the student’s feedback, along with the grade, all forms of feedback are conveniently accessible in the Grades tool. Our next continuous delivery update is scheduled for May 23rd. 

Please refer to the Falcon Online for Faculty for additional information on the Grades tool.

End of Course Evaluations and Falcon Online Integration

For every course, students have the opportunity to give end of course feedback on their learning experiences via the SmartEvals evaluation tool. Usually instructors will receive an email message when the evaluations are available with a due date and a generic link to the evaluations.

We have set up an integration between Falcon Online and the SmartEvals evaluation tool that allows instructors to more easily include a course evaluation quicklink in a course. This link can be provided in an announcement, course content page, or module topic. For students, this link will go straight to the specific course evaluation and for instructors the link will go to the instructor view of the SmartEvals system. 

Here is a quick video demonstration for adding the link to your course. Note that you must be logged in to Microsoft 365 to view this video

As always, I encourage you to subscribe to this blog to receive notifications of future posts.
