Introduction to the Multi-Marker system
The Multi-Marker Assignments feature allows all instructors in a course to set up, collect, and grade assignments collaboratively.
Tips on Managing Files and Data
- Instructors should discuss and agree on how to share grading responsibilities outside of Noteable.
- Multi-markers is not compatible with the previous individual instructor assignments system. When MultiMarker is enabled, all new assignments for a course will be under a new folder called instructor-courses instead of source.
- Any old/existing assignment files from the individual assignments system will remain in a user’s home directory.
- Read how to set up assignment in Noteable
Technical notes:
- The Command Line Interface now works for all assignment cycle steps.
- The directory structure for instructors has been updated for the steps in the old path to the new path as outlined in the table below. The student side is unchanged.
- NBgrader actions, using either the normal web user interface or the command-line alternatives, remain unchanged for instructors & students.
- For those instructors wishing to access the gradebook database, data is now stored in a central database.
- For instructors wishing to access the current course assignment files directly, files are now stored in instructor-courses/<course code>.
- The path of files in multi-marker is instructor-courses/<course code>/<grading step>/<assignment code>/<student>/<files>.
