If OriginalityCheck is enabled for a Dropbox Folder, you can use the GradeMark functionality to add comments, insert inline text, and highlight sections in file submissions, directly from the Dropbox tool.

Using GradeMark for Dropbox Submissions

If GradeMark is activated for your org unit, when you enable OriginalityCheck and choose to “Generate Originality Reports”, the GradeMark functionality is automatically enabled.

Note Instructors can enter grades via GradeMark one day after the dropbox folder due date has passed. You must create due dates in a dropbox folder’s Restrictions tab to make GradeMark grades available to students.

Open a Version of a Dropbox Submission in GradeMark

1. On the Folder Submissions page, click Evaluate Submission for the applicable user.
2. Click the GradeMark icon beside the file you want to open. The GradeMark report opens in a new window.

Add comments, highlight text, save, and print your GradeMark report using the available tools in the menu bar. You can view a summary of the submission at the top of the page, including word count, submission date, and Originality Report rating.
