Grading & Results

Grading Dashboard

The Grading Dashboard is the central hub for instructors, branch admins, and organization admins to review and grade exam submissions. It provides an overview of the grading queue, submission statistics, and quick access to pending work.

Access Control

The grading section is only accessible to users with Instructor, Branch Admin, or Org Admin roles. Learners and Guardians are automatically redirected to the dashboard if they attempt to access this page.

Grading Statistics

Four stat cards at the top of the dashboard provide a real-time snapshot of the grading workload:

Pending

Submissions waiting to be graded. These are newly submitted exams in the queue.

In Grading

Submissions currently being graded. An instructor has started but not finished.

Essays to Grade

Essay questions requiring manual review. Auto-gradable questions are already scored.

Graded Today

Number of submissions fully graded today. Helps track daily grading productivity.

Recent Submissions Table

Below the stats, a table lists the most recent pending submissions. The table shows the five most recent submissions with a "View All" button to navigate to the full submissions list page.

Field	Required	Type	Description
Exam	Required	text	Title of the exam the submission belongs to.
Learner	Required	text	Name and email of the student who submitted the exam.
Submitted	Required	date	Date when the learner submitted the exam.
Progress	Required	ratio	Graded questions out of total questions (e.g., "3/10"). Shows how much grading remains.
Status	Required	badge	Current grading status — Pending (orange), Grading (blue), Graded (green), or Reviewed (teal).

Grading Workflow

The typical grading workflow follows these steps:

Review the dashboard stats to understand the current workload
Click "Grade" on a pending submission to open the grading interface
Auto-grade objective questions first (MCQ, True/False, Fill-in-Blanks)
Manually grade essay and subjective questions with marks and feedback
Submit the final grades when all questions are graded

Submission Statuses

Submissions move through four statuses during the grading lifecycle:

Pending — Newly submitted, no grading has started
Grading — An instructor has started grading but not yet finished all questions
Graded — All questions have been scored, ready for final review
Reviewed — Grades have been finalized and published to the learner

Empty State

When there are no pending submissions, the dashboard shows a friendly "All caught up!" message with an icon. This confirms that all submissions have been graded.
