Markbook in Staff Kiosk

Markbook has been built into Staff Kiosk and is much snazzier looking the webBook Markbook. The initial Markbook release will include the current webBook Markbook features, and the development team will be working on the next phase of enhancements. 
The two Markbooks will work interchangeably between the webBook and Staff Kiosk versions until webBook is decommissioned - this won't happen for a while and we will give you plenty of notice. 

We call it 'Markbook', but you can change the name to one of your choosing.

What you will find in the Staff Kiosk Markbook include:

  • Reporting Periods Selection screen

  • Class Selection screen

  • Markbook screen

  • Objective Weighting functionality

  • Result Based Comments functionality

  • Calculate Results functionality

  • Upload Results functionality

  • Export and Print Markbook

  • My Calculation Rules functionality

You can find the help documentation here: Markbook

Access Markbook via Staff Kiosk > Assessment > Markbook.

The Markbook menu is controlled by the new permission called 'Markbook' located in the Portal Security Permissions - LMS section.
