Instructors can share grading responsibilities with multiple graders in your courses.

Overview

You can have specific users in your courses grade sets of assessment submissions. Graders can’t see other graders’ grades, feedback, annotations on student files, and rubrics. They grade in parallel and provide provisional grades. The default grading roles include instructors, graders, and teaching assistants.

The instructor role is the default final grader or reconciler. The reconciler reviews the provisional grades and determines the final grades that students see. You can assign the ability to reconcile grades to one or more other users with grading privileges and remove your ability to reconcile.

There are some limitations to this grading feature.  For a tutorial on exactly how to use Parallel Grading, please visit Blackboard Help or watch this brief video:
