Step one: Enable TomaGrade in the Moodle assignment activity setting 


When adding or updating an assignment, go to TomaGrade setting and enable TomaGrade



Please note:	
		
  • Each student or group can submit only one file (Recommended: limit maximum number of uploaded files to one)
  • Authorized  file types for students submission: PDF, WORD, JPG
  • Recommended setting for “Submission type
  • students’ submissions will be automatically synced to TomaGrade every 30 minutes

Step two: Grading and feedback with TomaGrade


Open Tomagrade from Moodle

Once students submissions sync to TomaGrade,  go to “View all submissions”


Click “Check with” (For one student only, there is no need to click for each student)



Now you can start checking the TomaGrade.

Before starting work on the TomaGrade, it is important to watch the end-to-end tutorial video on TomaGrade . 

The TomaGrade guides are available on the support portal. Access to the portal from within the TomaGrade - on the main screen clicking on the icon ? (upper toolbar) and choosing "Knowledge Base":

Grades and exams did not sync back to Moodle?

If, after you finish checking the exam, the grades and checked assignments do not appear in Moodle, please ensure that:

1. You indeed clicked on "Finish checking" in the TomaGrade system.

2. The synchronization time for the exams and grades from the moment you finish checking can take up to two hours; please wait for them to appear.

3. If "Hide student identities" is set in the assignment settings, you must perform an action in Moodle called "Reveal student identities" in order for the grades and the link to the checked exam to be visible.


4. If the assignment/exam or the teaching unit are hidden in Moodle, they must be made visible as well.

5. There is no support for updating non-numeric grades, so if the assignment was set with a verbal grade rather than a numeric one (e.g., Pass/Fail), the synchronization back to Moodle will not work.

Can exams be synced to TomaGrade for an assignment that was opened without sync settings?

Answer: Yes, the above settings can also be applied to an assignment that was originally opened without synchronization.

The uploaded exam is invalid

If you receive an error message stating that an error occurred while opening the file, it is likely that the file uploaded by the student is invalid and they must upload the file again. If there is a file, but it doesn't say "Go to check exam" in the student's submission row, there is probably an issue with the file. It will say "Upload to TomaGrade," indicating there is a problem uploading the file. After uploading the valid file, make sure that file synchronization is still active or perform a manual sync. 

The student can only upload PDF, WORD, and JPG files. Furthermore, only one file can be uploaded (it is possible to upload a multi-page file); even if more than one file is uploaded to Moodle, only one file will actually be transferred.
Once the assignment is set to allow entering text in the submission box, the text will not be transferred to check exam in TomaGrade. Only files will be transferred to check exam in TomaGrade.
