Using GradeMark within PebblePad

Marking the submissions in Turnitin

Note: If you are only using the PebblePad/Turnitin integration for Similarity checking these next steps are not needed.

Turnitin access

  1. You can submit, or re-submit, all the student submissions, or just those that have not yet been sent to Turnitin by pressing on Submit To Turnitin.
  2. The Similarity Score will appear once the files are processed
  3. To access Turnitin to mark using Grademark press on the Turnitin icon as shown above.
    Open Grademark
  4. Mark as per normal within Turnitin.
  5. When you have finished marking the student submissions in Turnitin the next step is to synchronise the marking in Turnitin with ATLAS. From the Submissions page in ATLAS, click on Synchronise with Turnitin now from the Turnitin drop-down - as seen in 1. above. Synchronising allows the Turnitin similarity score and the Turnitin grade to be displayed in additional columns against each student submission in ATLAS.  Please note: student submissions will be automatically synchronised once an hour if you remain on the Submissions page.

How to release the Turnitin marks and feedback to Students

Once you have finished marking and have synchronised all the results, the next step is to release the results to students. Note: if you are not using Turnitin for grading, but only to assess the Similarity score this step is not needed.

  1. First select the submissions for which you want to release the results
  2. Then click on the Turnitin drop-down and choose Turnitin
    Select Turnitin
  3. Choose Release Turnitin feedback
    Release Feedback
  4. The Submission Feedback area will show you the grade given within PebblePad, Feedback given in PebblePad and that the Turnitin report has been released, so students can view the Grademark feedback. Note: that any score added within Turnitin will override a score given in PebblePad in the gradebook in MyLO. It is recommended that staff give grades within PebblePad rather than Turnitin. Once the grades and feedback have been released from within the Submission area the grade column will be created in MyLO.
