Multiple individual evaluations

Sanjaya.K.4331

Using this option, evaluators work on their evaluations independently, and the publisher aggregates the results into one final evaluation before releasing it to the learner.

However, suppose four evaluators and one publisher are allocated to an assignment. If Evaluator 1 is absent and Evaluator 2's marking is incomplete and needs to be disregarded, can the publisher proceed by aggregating only the evaluations completed by Evaluators 3 and 4?

Is there an option for the publisher to disregard an evaluator's evaluation, or can a new evaluator be assigned after the Advanced Assessment has already been set up?

Hi @Sanjaya.K.4331,

Thank you for reaching out to the Brightspace Community with your question regarding Advanced Assessment and Multiple Individual Evaluations.

In a Multiple Individual Evaluations workflow, the publisher cannot proceed to the Aggregated Evaluation until all evaluators currently assigned to that learner have completed their evaluations and marked them Ready to Aggregate.

There is no option within the evaluation screen to directly "disregard" or "exclude" a specific evaluator's evaluation. If an evaluator is unavailable or their evaluation should no longer be considered, the evaluator allocations for the affected learner would need to be updated.

Depending on your institution's requirements, you can:

• Remove the unavailable evaluator's allocation for the affected learner.
• Remove the evaluator whose evaluation should not be considered.
• Assign a replacement evaluator and allocate the learner to that evaluator.

Once all currently assigned evaluators for that learner have completed their evaluations and marked them Ready to Aggregate, the publisher can access the Aggregated Evaluation and publish the final result.

In the example you described, if Evaluators 1 and 2 are removed from the learner's allocations and only Evaluators 3 and 4 remain assigned, the publisher can proceed once Evaluators 3 and 4 have completed their evaluations and marked them Ready to Aggregate.

I would also highly recommend reviewing the following Brightspace Community article, as it provides a detailed overview of the available Advanced Assessment workflows, evaluator and publisher roles, allocation management, and other important considerations when configuring and managing Multiple Individual Evaluations:

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
