When the permission is enabled on an assignment, you can choose to share an asset with an external assessor to receive feedback or verification on your work.
Who is an external assessor?
An external assessor is someone who works with learners as a non-staff member at your institution to provide coaching, feedback or verification. They have a PebblePad account with limited functionality.
You share with an external assessor when you require work to be assessed by a non-staff member, and importantly, access to your asset has not already been provided by your course managers.
Sharing with an external assessor may be needed:
- when checking and verifying your work happens sometime after the event,
- where you are not located together, but instead working at distance.
An external assessor will not have general access to your account, but they will be able to:
- view the asset(s) you share,
- view any assets attached as evidence to the main shared asset.
Sharing with an external assessor is used to:
- provide feedback,
- complete assessor fields.
Where only the need to view or comment is required, see share with people.
Who can I share with?
Where enabled for an assignment, one of two options will be available:
- Share with existing external account
You can only share an asset with an external account already available in your institution. This will have already been created by your course managers and you must know the external user's exact email address to share. - Share with anyone - create a new external user
You can share an asset with any external person by creating a new account for them if one does not already exist. You must know the external user's first name, surname and email address to share.
