Learner Mark
Learner Mark
Introduction
A Learner Mark represents the final, consolidated outcome for a specific learner on a specific assessment. While tasks capture granular responses, the “Mark” is the overarching result (e.g., 85% or “Passed”). AI can directly finalize the mark, or instructors can manually approve or edit it.
Key highlights:
- Single Score: Summarizes all tasks (choice, text, rubric criteria) into one result.
- Status: “Pending” or “Marked,” clarifying if it’s final or awaiting approval.
- Optional Rationale: Provide high-level feedback or instructions for improvement.
Properties
| Property Name | Description |
|---|---|
| LearningAssessmentId | Identifies which assessment this final mark is for (e.g., “Midterm Exam in Course 101”). |
| ContactId | The learner’s ID, tying the final score to the correct person. |
| MarkerContactId | (Optional) If a human instructor or reviewer approves or overrides the AI-generated mark, you can record their ID here. |
| Status | “Pending” if not yet approved, “Marked” if finalized. This clarifies whether the learner can see the official grade. |
| Mark | A numeric representation of the final grade, like 88 or 73. May be the sum or weighted combination of all tasks or criteria. |
| MarkDate | When the final mark was confirmed or posted. |
| MarkReason | A high-level rationale behind the final result, e.g., “Sum of all tasks, plus extra credit” or “AI auto-approval.” |
| MarkInstruction | Overall instructions or suggestions for the entire assessment, such as “Review chapters 3-4 for a better understanding.” |
| MarkPersonalInstruction | Personalized feedback for the learner, e.g., “Your consistent effort shows; work on refining your data analysis next time.” |
| MarkInstructionPlus1 | Extra guidance for further mastery or advanced challenges. |
| MarkPersonalInstructionPlus1 | Additional personalized direction if the learner wants to excel further. |
| ECLearnerProgramRequirementId | (Optional) If integrating with Education Cloud, link to a relevant program requirement for broader tracking. |
| CreatedDate | System-managed date/time indicating when this record was first created. |
| ModifiedDate | Updated automatically if the final mark or related fields change. |
Example
After grading a “Business Analytics Final,” the system aggregates each learner’s tasks. For user #45, the AI calculates an 82% overall. The instructor quickly reviews borderline questions, agrees, and sets Status to “Marked” with MarkReason = “All tasks correct except the last two.” MarkDate is recorded, and the learner sees their final 82%.
Use Case
A large training program uses AI to auto-mark. In most cases, the system sets Status to “Marked” automatically. However, if someone fails by a small margin, the instructor might review the tasks more closely, add a justification in MarkReason, and manually update Status to “Marked.” The record keeps everything in one place for easy auditing.
