Batch Review Queue

The Batch Review Queue is a streamlined workflow for reviewing multiple viva submissions efficiently.

What is the Batch Review Queue?

Instead of reviewing each submission by navigating back and forth through assignment pages, the batch review queue lets you:

• See all assignments in one place
• Review sessions sequentially without leaving the queue
• Perform bulk operations (export, grade push)
• Focus on the work, not the navigation

Accessing the Queue

1. Navigate to your instructor dashboard
2. Click "Review Queue" in the main navigation
3. See all your assignments sorted by priority

Priority Sorting

Assignments are automatically sorted by priority score based on:

• Days past due (highest weight): Overdue assignments appear first
• Submission ratio: Assignments with more completed submissions rank higher
• Class size: Smaller cohorts get slight priority (easier to finish)

This ensures you focus on the most time-sensitive work first.

Queue Display

Each assignment card shows:

• Assignment title and class name
• Due date and late submission window
• Statistics:
  • Total students
  • Submitted count
  • Reviewed count
  • Pending review count
  • Not submitted count
• Extensions pending indicator
• Action buttons

Starting Batch Review

1. Click "Begin / Continue Review Queue" on any assignment
2. You're taken to the first pending review
3. Review the submission (watch video, read transcript, fill rubric, add feedback)
4. Click "Submit Review & Next"
5. Automatically advance to the next pending submission
6. Repeat until all submissions are reviewed
7. When done, you're taken to the completion page

Batch Review Completion Page

When all submissions in an assignment are reviewed:

• See summary table of all reviewed sessions
• View grades, timestamps, and status at a glance
• Perform bulk actions:
  • Export all as ZIP (PDFs)
  • Push all grades to LMS
  • Download grade spreadsheet
• Click on individual sessions to make adjustments

Filtering and Search

In the review queue, you can:

• Search by assignment title or class name
• Filter:
  • Actionable only (has pending reviews)
  • By specific class
• Pagination: 50 assignments per page (configurable)

Bulk Operations

Bulk Export

From the completion page:

1. Click "Export All"
2. Choose format (PDF recommended for archive)
3. ZIP file downloads with one PDF per student
4. Each PDF contains questions, responses, and rubric scores

Bulk Grade Push to LMS

Push all reviewed grades at once:

1. Click "Push All Grades to LMS"
2. Confirm the action
3. All reviewed sessions sync to LMS gradebook
4. Feedback is included
5. Students see grades in their LMS
6. This action is logged in audit logs

Resuming Review

You don't have to finish all reviews in one sitting:

• Exit the review queue at any time
• Your progress is saved automatically
• When you return, click "Continue Review Queue"
• You'll pick up where you left off

Handling Edge Cases

New Submissions After You Start

If students submit while you're reviewing:

• New submissions appear in the queue
• You'll see updated counts
• Review them in a second pass or individually later

Late Submissions with Extensions

If students have extensions:

• Assignment shows "Extensions Pending" indicator
• Don't push grades to LMS until all extensions expire
• Review available submissions and return later for stragglers

Small Cohorts

Assignments with ≤3 students:

• Marked as "small cohort" for awareness
• Get slight priority boost in sorting
• Can be completed quickly
