Overview
Depending on how you set up your assignment, you can either import or upload submissions to generate AI grading and feedback suggestions. This article will cover:
Importing submissions (for assignments imported from D2L)
Uploading submissions (for assignments created on TimelyGrader)
Importing Submissions
If you imported your assignment from D2L, it will be linked to the corresponding D2L assignment. You’ll need to import the student submissions from the LMS. To do this:
1. Open the Assignment
From the Assignments page, open the assignment you want to import student submissions into.
2. Click "Import Submissions"
From the right sidebar, under Final Submission Grading & Feedback, click the "Import Submissions" button.
3. Confirm the Number of Submissions
After you click "Import Submissions," a pop-up will appear displaying the number of submissions found on D2L that will be imported. If this number looks correct, click "Continue."
4. Upload the Imported Submissions
Click "Upload Submissions" to upload the imported submissions to TimelyGrader.
4. Wait While Submissions are Processed
Processing will begin right away, and you can track the progress in the right sidebar. It may take a few minutes, so feel free to navigate away or even close the platform and come back later. The system will keep working in the background. Perfect time to grab a cup of coffee! ☕️
Once all the submissions have finished processing, you'll be able to click "Review Submissions" to:
View each submission
See grading and feedback suggestions
Make edits and finalize grades
