Delegated marking is a way of assigning specific markers to a group of students. There is no filter that can do this in a Blackboard assessment tool inbox. This is the only way that markers can identify their assigned papers when using Anonymity in a Blackboard Assignment.
You cannot currently use Delegated Marking with Group assignments.
How do I enable Delegated Marking?
Delegated marking uses Groups Sets to assign the students to marking. It is important you create these sets in the Groups area before setting your assignment. See Using Groups in Learn Ultra for more information on how to do this. The Groups Sets can be manually or randomly assigned.
When creating or editing a Blackboard assignment, go to the Settings panel. Under ‘Evaluation options’ tick the box for Delegated Marking.
The Assign markers link will then appear. Click this link to open the Delegated Marking screen.
If no Groups exist in the course you will see this screen – you will need to create the required groups and then come back to edit the assignment settings.
Assuming you have already created some Groups in your course, you will see them listed under the ‘Select group set’ drop-down.
Select the Group Set you wish to use for this assignment.
Now, for each Group, select one or more markers from the list (click in the ‘Markers’ field to see all available markers on the course).
Repeat this for each group. When you have assigned at least one marker to each group, press Save.
The save option will not be available until at least one marker has been assigned to each group.
You will then be returned to the Assignment Settings screen.
