Skill Review In Action
How this article is structured
This article walks you through the steps of an Skill Review activity, following the same flow as the tool itself. It will describe the process of using the active assignment. This refers to what happens after the assignment is published and available to students. It covers monitoring student progress, viewing submissions, giving feedback, and reviewing outcomes.
Note: When you open a published activity, you’ll land on the Active Assignment view by default. To return to the setup view after publishing, click Edit in the upper-left corner of the activity.
You can see the article about Setting Up this tool here.

Overall Student Progress
At the top of the assignment, you will see the Overall student progress overview. Click on statistics per active student to see individual students' progress. Here you can see what grade the students have received; if they have read the instructions and if they have read their feedback.
Click on the headers in each column to change the order (ascending or descending) in which students are displayed. You can also click Fullscreen to pop out the full display of student progress.
The check marks under read instructions mean that that student has finished the step. The light green dot means the student has not read the instructions yet.
Under the Given Reviews and Received Reviews headers, you will find the completion status of each review for each student. If a student has completed the module, it will display ✔ Completed instead of a percentage.
It is also possible to export all the student data into an excel file. This file contains information concerning review ratings, review comments and grading. You can download this export by clicking on the EXPORT ANALYTICS button in the overall student progress window.
Step 1: Instructions
Here, you can view the instructions you wrote while setting up the assignment. You can edit them by clicking on the Edit button in the top right corner of the screen.
Step 2: Give Feedback on Students
As a teacher. you are able to provide feedback in this step.
Press start reviewing/continue reviewing to go through the reviews one by one. You can also click on review behind a specific student/group to start reviewing that specific selection.
You can also see if a review has been completed, indicated by the purple check mark. You can see who has reviewed the student and how many comments have been given.
When reviewing, you use the rubrics to review the student. When you are done reviewing you can press next at the bottom of the page to go to the next student to review.
Feedback-on-feedback: If enabled, you can view the feedback-on-feedback grade, given by the student here, just above the next button.
Step 3: Received Reviews
You are able to see how much of the feedback the students have read by looking at progress overview. You also able to see the average rating they received, the amount of received comments and the how much time they spent on reading the comments.
Grading
In this step, you have to access a comprehensive overview detailing the grades of each student within the system.
By default, the grading module is enabled, it will be visible after the last step. The image below shows what that will look like. By clicking on the arrow on the right or using the scroll bar at the bottom, the teacher can view the rest of the grade sections (from left to right). On the far right there is also an optional grade adjustment. This allows the teacher to add or subtract points for each student. Click on Fullscreen to get a better view.
