In this short demonstration, we'll show you how to create a student assignment for submitting a video for review.
This process allows both peers and instructors to provide feedback on the student's assignment by using in-context comments provided by Annoto.
Here's the workflow you can follow:
Set up the assignment.
Establish rubrics that include the desired criteria.
Have students submit their assignments.
Instructors can then review the videos, provide feedback, and assign a grade based on the rubrics and criteria they have set.
All of this can be done within the Grade Center of Blackboard!
That's it! This process allows for effective peer review and makes grading more structured and efficient.
