Grading & Results

Publishing Results

Publishing results is the final step in the grading workflow. Once an instructor completes grading, results must be published to make them visible to learners. This two-step approach — grade then publish — gives instructors a chance to review and adjust grades before learners see them.

Publishing Workflow

Complete Grading

Ensure all questions in the submission have been graded. The grading progress bar must show 100% completion before results can be published.

Submit Final Grades

Click "Submit Grades" on the grading completion panel. This finalizes all marks and feedback for the submission and transitions its status from "Grading" to "Graded".

Review Before Publishing

Optionally review the graded submission one more time. Check that marks are consistent, feedback is constructive, and no questions were accidentally skipped.

Publish Results

Publishing makes the results visible to the learner. The submission status changes to "Reviewed" and the learner can now see their score, question-level breakdown, and feedback.

Learner Notification

When results are published, the learner receives a notification (if notification settings are configured). They can view results from their dashboard or the My Exams page.

Result Visibility Settings

The visibility of results to learners is controlled by exam configuration settings:

Show Results — When enabled, learners can view their overall score and pass/fail status after results are published. When disabled, results remain hidden from learners entirely.
Show Correct Answers — When enabled, learners can see which answers were correct and which were incorrect, along with the correct answer for each question. When disabled, only the overall score is shown.
Allow Review — When enabled, learners can review their entire submission with question-level feedback. This is useful for learning from mistakes.

Exam-Level Settings

These visibility settings are configured when creating or editing an exam (see Exam Configuration). They apply uniformly to all submissions for that exam — you cannot customize visibility per student.

Auto-Graded Results

For exams that contain only auto-gradable questions (MCQ, True/False, Fill-in-Blanks, Matching), results are available immediately after submission. No manual publishing step is required — the learner can view their score as soon as they submit.

For mixed exams (containing both auto-gradable and manual questions), the auto-graded portion is scored immediately but the full results are withheld until the instructor completes manual grading and publishes. This prevents partial results from confusing learners.

Result Notifications

When results are published, the notification system can alert learners through multiple channels:

In-App Notification — A notification appears in the learner's notification center within the Organization Portal
Dashboard Update — The result appears in the Recent Results section of the learner dashboard
Exam Status Change — The exam status on the My Exams page changes to "Completed" with a "View Result" button

Guardian Visibility

If the learner has an associated guardian, the guardian can also view the published results through the Guardian Portal. Ensure grades and feedback are appropriate for guardian review before publishing.

Batch Publishing

For exams with many submissions, consider grading all submissions before publishing any results. This ensures consistency and allows you to calibrate your grading across the class before making results visible.
