A Little Bit about: Brightspace - Using Quick Eval
Located in the Course Admin tab of the Brightspace Nav Bar, Quick Eval offers evaluators a single location to view all learner submissions that are awaiting evaluation from assignments, quizzes and discussion boards.
Activities view displays indicators to show the learners progress on submissions, instructors progress on evaluations, and on publishing feedback to learners. It also includes links to the evaluation page, submission page, and a publish all action.
An activity shows up in Quick Eval’s Activities view when there is an unevaluated learner submission, or when all students have not submitted to the activity.
Activities can be dismissed or restored. Dismissing an activity hides it from Quick Eval, but won't affect the activity.
To dismiss an activity, select activity from the view by options. Hover over the activity and select more actions>Dismiss Until. Select a specific date to set how long you want to dismiss the activity. Follow the same steps to restore an activity.
