Recently discovered your solution

[Ouloide Goue]

Greetings Dan and William,

Thank you for putting together this solution and this community of teacher/learner. I recently discovered your solution and would like to integrate it to my teaching this semester. I would like to know how to integrate the homework assignment. Listening to one of the video by Dan, I heard a mention of gradescope. How does it work?

Thank you kindly for your response.

Best,

Yannick

Hi Yannick,

I am glad to hear that you found our book and hope that it will work well for your upcoming class.

You can find  some basic information and links to instructions on the Numbas site for integrating the homework assignments into various learning managements systems in the book's preface, here:  End of Chapter exercises.

Hopefully that will be enough to get you set up, but if you have any specific questions feel free to ask them here and I will try to help you out.

Gradescope is an online tool to help you grade scanned, open-ended work submitted electronically I think its biggest benefit is that it helps ensure consistency between multiple assessors grading.  I used it during the pandemic, but dropped it after that since it was more effort than it was worth for my small classes.  Dan uses it for much larger sections, so he may have more to say about it.

Hi Yannick,

Thanks for reaching out. I choose to share homework as PDFs. Some problems are from other textbooks, and many are former quiz and exam problems I've written. I use Gradescope to grade homework, quizzes, and exams. I concur with Will that Gradescope becomes more valuable as you have large sections and multiple graders.

Dan

Thank you William and Dan. I will go through and assess how to proceed. I will make sure to contact you if I have any questions.

Thank you kindly,

Thanks so much for this email chain!  I'm not sure how similar everyone's systems are, but I just made a really quick ppt showing walkthrough of importing HW problems for our D2L system for others at my school.    It let me set up grades etc. along the way, super easy.  I need to learn how to create content like this, problems are so much nicer than what we can make with D2L.

Thanks again!

Thank you Jamie. I am going through your ppt. Hopefully, I can return to you all with good feedback.

Hi Jamie,

Again thank you for the tutorial on importing HW to a D2L system. It went well trying it. The first feedback I received from students is that when going to another webpage, students are made to restart the entire homework, and if you close out the tab, the attempt is finished. Is it something that can be fixed? If yes, what are the most efficient options?

Thank you kindly for your answers.

Thank you,

Yannick

Hello,

  I am new to this too - am having students turn in written work for all the problems they complete (see attached starter file I gave them - we use Mathematica, they have to include screenshots of problems).  

Might be some useful information here:

https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/5387-import-and-manage-scorm

I think most of the grade/quiz settings are created while importing, so might need to re-do the import and just be careful to read all of the settings it asks for to allow retakes and connect to grade book.  

If I go to collaboration→Classlist→click on a student→View progress - it is showing up under content created for me.  It exports #'s to grade book, but I can't see details of their attempts in D2L, all I can see is:

Let me know if you figure it out - I'm assigning grades based on written work right now.  

Jamie

Thank you Jamie. I will play with it and see what I can figure out. I will get back to you with any new experiences and feedback.

Best,
