Calling the Instructional Design Hive Mind!
I was asked a great question today about best practices to help an Educator stay on top of marking-mountain! In particular, they're looking for tips to help them autograde aspects of an assignment.
What tips or strategies do you recommend for keeping that marking moving?

Hi @Danielle DeGagne
If the assignment has not yet been provided to students, you might use a mix of automatically graded question types in a quiz, as described in this article on autograding in quiz
I like the way the autograde options are broken down in this article from MGH Institute of Health Professionals
There may be other approaches that folks would take here, or recommend- but this is what came to mind for me.

Danielle, in addition to the numeric response that your learners give, is there a way of asking them to explain which number in the equation they used for a particular section with a written response (such as a fill in the blank)? Perhaps the initial question could have a lower mark for the correct response and then subsequent questions to enable learners to show how they calculated just in case their initial calculation was incorrect. Just a thought!
