Upcoming changes to Inline Grading<\/h2>\n

The third party service (known as the Crocodoc plug-in) used by Blackboard\u2019s inline grading tool is being discontinued and replaced. If you are using Blackboard\u2019s inline grading to give students feedback, this information is for you.<\/p>\n

Box, the provider of the service used by inline grading, have announced that Crocodoc will no longer be supported after 15 January 2018<\/strong>, and that all users will therefore need to start using the replacement, New Box View<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What is inline grading?<\/h2>\n

Inline grading is the ability to use a web browser to annotate student attempts on a Blackboard assignment. The screenshot below shows a student\u2019s assignment attempt:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are you\u00a0affected by this?<\/h2>\n

You are only affected if you use Blackboard assignments to collect and feedback on your students\u2019 work, and if you use the inline grading tools to annotate.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Feedback to Learner\u2019 box (right hand side of the screenshot, above) is not affected.<\/p>\n

Does this apply to Turnitin?<\/h2>\n

No, Turnitin is a separate plug-in.<\/p>\n

What is going to happen next?<\/h2>\n

The LearnTech team have been testing the New Box View, as well as\u00a0how it will affect the other features of Blackboard, prior to making the switch.<\/p>\n

We will update you with further guidance via the LearnTech blog prior to switching over, so watch this space.<\/p>\n

New Box view will be activated on 3 January 2018<\/strong>; we wanted to give you some advanced notice so that you can make any necessary adjustments, as guided by the following information.<\/p>\n

What about existing work marked in Crocodoc?<\/h2>\n

Any assignments currently graded with the Crocodoc function will be migrated automatically over to New Box View<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

\u26a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

Annotations made in Crocodoc will not be editable once they have been migrated to New Box View<\/strong>\u2013 they will be burned into the document.This applies to all existing annotations on a submission in Crocodoc \u2013 regardless of whether it has yet been released to students or not.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

What will change?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Where can I read more?<\/h2>\n

Blackboard\u2019s Help site has more detailed information on\u00a0the transition from Crocodoc to New Box View<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As previously mentioned, we will be posting more information on the LearnTech blog, as well as the NILE welcome page for staff.<\/p>\n

Who can I contact?<\/h2>\n
