Skilljar quizzes allow manually or automatically graded Free form response questions. If a question requires an instructor to manually grade their response, you can do this from the Skilljar Dashboard.
You can access open tasks from three locations:
- Review all open tasks from Students and then the Tasks tab
- Review individual open tasks from the email sent to your Organization notification Email (sent from support@skilljar.com) which provides a link to view that task in the dashboard
- Review individual tasks on a student level
