    2. Users may see comments on received marks

    When task Author will check answers to “Free Answer” questions in a quiz, the user will see own results on a separate page – button appears at “My tasks” page:
    blank
    Following link at “Free answer results” page will display marks and comments to these marks. Answers are divided according to test and question names.
    blank
    Test results or comments can be discussed in Chat if necessary. Clicking “Discuss” button would create private chat with person who checked your answer.

    3.Users may see own marks based on evaluation scale rule

    All marks for tasks in Collaborator are given in percentages, i.e. marks from 0 to 100 in results and reports. Usually this is enough, but when you want to show this marks on any scale, for example, 5-point or ECTS, then you just need to specify desired scale in task settings. We already wrote how to create and use evaluation scales in v.1.15.0.
    Previously only Administrator could see reports with marks on applied evaluation scale. Now users also see results not only as a percentage from 0 to 100, but also on the given scale.
    Use additional criteria for assessing employees to create an accurate picture of training. Show on a certain evaluation scale how “good” or “bad” your users have passed their tasks.
    You can create or edit scales in “Training tasks” – “Mark scales”. Your evaluation criteria will appear next to existing percentage threshold.
    Pictures below show how user’s marks will be displayed if ECTS scale is applied:
    – at “My tasks” page:
    blank
    – at “Study history”:
    blank
    Scales were closely described in Collaborator v 1.15.0

    4. Sending reminders about opening of Training elements

    Timely completion of tasks and strict observance of schedule are one of the most important criteria for success in educational process. But sometimes a person can be busy with other important things and do not always focus on the schedule. Therefore, we constantly add different types of notifications to help student meet their deadlines.
    We have added notifications about start of Tasks with calendar period in Collaborator v. 1.33.0. Specifically, reminder will be sent to a user in three days before the start of the task.
    Now users will receive email reminders about tasks as well as details for accessing training elements in one day before the start of the task.
    User will receive the following message:
    blank
    Here you can find more details on notifications about start of Tasks with calendar period:

    5. Reviewing information about parameters of Program element in reports

    Also, we added into Collaborator pop-up hints with extra information for program elements in report:

    The hints display following information:

    • Report name

    • Completion threshold
    • Completion status

So, coach will be able to go to this page by link, then evaluate user results and decide whether to give an additional opportunity to pass the quiz or no.
