Approving and Returning Work
The Learner’s Time Spent on an Activity and the Activity Due Date can be updated, if needed. If there is a Rubric attached to the activity, you can include a score.
If there is a Rubric attached to the activity, you can include a score by clicking Score Rubric.
Step 3: Once you have reviewed the Learner’s Activity, you can Approve or Return their work. Within the activity, you can leave a comment if needed, and select either Approve or Return. If you feel a Learner’s activity is incomplete or requires additional work, you can select Return. The Learner will be notified their activity was returned and will have the opportunity to resubmit.
Batch Approving and Returning
On the Pending Approvals Page, you have the option to batch Approve or Return activities as needed. Select the activities you wish to Approve or Return, then select the appropriate option from the Actions button.
Please note, if the activity has a requirement attached, you will not be able to batch Approve or Return and will need to review the activity individually to satisfy the activity requirement.
