Comment inline
If this option is selected, then the original submission will be copied into the feedback comment field during grading, making it easier to comment inline (using a different color, perhaps) or to edit the original text.
Hi Chardelle
I'm fairly new to Moodle and as an administrator I'm expected to know everything! I'm just investigating online marking and wanted to try your suggestion above. Unfortunately, I can't find the comment inline option anywhere! Could you humour me please and give me an idea of where to find this option.
Unfortunately, our resident Moodle expert has recently left and so far hasn't been replaced, so I'm being bombarded with questions I don't have any answers to!
Thanks in anticipation!

Assignment module. You can find information about this
really cool and useful software here:
http://www.cict.co.uk/software/markin/index.htm
This software has been created by Martin Holmes, who is also the creator of Hot Potatoes.

This isn't great, but I don't see, with the current system, a better way. It would help to be able to upload the annotated word file to moodle for the student to collect - even better open the file in word and save changes direct to the server (hmmmmm, maybe that's possible locally). FWIW, this is pretty much teh way the OU do it - download, unpack, mark, upload, student collects.
Better ideas welcome

This is available in the UploadReview assignment plug-in available here:
http://cdc.humboldt.edu/moodle/course/view.php?id=3&topic=3
New assignment type, upload and review, student uploads file, teacher downloads it, marks it, uploads it back again, student can view original file, marked file, comments, and grades.
Running Word on the server would be pretty problematic, as Word isn't meant to be used simulaneously by different users. It may be that plug ins to the rumored upcoming web enabled office suites from Sun/Google and MS would enable this.
Hi,
I am trying to install this plug-in, but it is not clear to me where to install it. Could you guide me to install this one.
I do not find the folder assignment/type to copy the uploadreview folder.
If you could tell me the exact steps to follow that would be great.
thanks and waiting for your reponse.

I was exploring humboldt's site and stole most of your blocks
I'm in the midst of trying to get a university to support moodle (over blackboard) so I'm looking into ways of making things easier for the instructors.
thanks,
I sort of got the impression that this also should have been able to deal with multiple files from one student for any given assignment, but it didn't seem to do that.
Not sure how all this works, but shouldn't this become part of the standard module?

Really hoping that there is a way round this or I'm going to have to ask all marking tutor's to cut and paste into the comments box where presumably they will not be able to use Track Changes on the word docs submitted by the students.

Any chance you, or someone else in this thread, could do a screencast and posting it demonstrating how this module works for you?
thanks!

However, after recently upgrading to Moodle 1.5.3+ (on Fedora Core 4, using XAMPP 1.4.16: Apache 2.0.54, MySQL 4.1.14, PHP 5.0.4 or 4.4.0) we have found a slight glitch with UploadReview.
On submitting feedback to a student, a 'Changes Saved' window is presented with no [Continue] button. With Internet Explorer there is just a blank window (apart from the Changes Saved title). With Firefox there are also a couple of lines of errors e.g.
-- opener.document.getElementById("com1082").innerHTML="This is just a test ...";
If you close this window, and if necessary refresh, the feedback is submitted - so things are more-or-less working, just not very elegant.
Not sure if this is related to 'missing button' problems discussed towards the end of the 'New assignment grading interface in CVS' thread.
Any ideas?
Hi Michael,
I have been searching for a way to mark assignment (submitted in as Word documents) on the VLE, so that I can highlight the mistakes/comments, save and give back to the learner via the VLE. (Instead of downloading/printing the document, marking then emailing back)
I came across the UploadReview plug-in you mentioned, but cannot find where I can download this from. (i think it has moved location)
Could you please advise how I can locate this plug-in, or even if it has been replaced with something new.
Many thanks
Andrew Nokes
I have found it!!!

This feature is present in the 'Advanced Uploading of Files' option in the standard Assignment module as an alternative to installing the UploadReview plugin. (We're using Moodle 1.8). Select this option from the list when you're initially creating the Assignment activity in your course.
As explained earlier by Elena Ivanova (see http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=73879), you need to bring up the Submissions table by clicking on the 'View XXX Submissions' link. Click on the 'Grade' link and the option to upload files that are then passed on to the student should be visible. Files can be attached before or after students have submitted their assignment(s).
There does seem to be a bug though, in that if grading a submission, any comments typed in the comments box will be lost as soon as the first file to be attached in the grading is uploaded. Suggest you click 'Save changes' to save comments and the grade before attaching files. Attaching any subsequent files will not delete comments that have already been saved.
Cheers,
Remmert
Moodle's Teacher Comments boxes automatically convert Word's Comments boxes to Hotlinks :-)
Once I've made the comments in Word, I Select All and Copy / Paste the whole thing (with comments boxes) into Moodle. Moodle magically converts the comments boxes into clickable target links to feedback at the end of the essay! So the student clicks whereever they see the target marker and is taken to the related feedback which appears below the essay. The whole process is automated and works like a dream. Now that I've got the system down, I've cut down my marking time considerably. Try it!
There's more details about how to do the Autotext thing on this Moodle: http://casmoodle.aus.ac.ae/course/view.php?id=146

Krucli wrote a great article about interactive computer-assisted feedback, which is also posted on the same Moodle:
http://casmoodle.aus.ac.ae/mod/resource/view.php?id=2139
I've also written on this topic in the Proceedings for TESOL Arabia 2005. I'll let you know when it's published. I'm typing this in a hurry, so let me know if you would like me to explain anything further.
Good luck!
Jason.
Re: Moodle's Teacher Comments boxes automatically convert Word's Comments boxes to Hotlinks :-)
I'm having trouble logging into your moodle autotext info at http://casmoodle.aus.ac.ae/course/view.php?id=146 as you described in your 8 November 2005 post. I'd like to read what you say about the 'autotext' marking.
I am interested in an approach to online correcting of student written work. I think that Markin is an excellent tool, but I don't know of a 'seamless' way to make it work with Moodle.
Any suggestions or further developments would be appreciated.

. Markin REALLY works great with a Tablet device, I HIGHLY recommend this application.Josep M.
