The Grade Feed is a feature that allows teachers to view student responses and give feedback at a glance on Ellii. Follow the steps below to start using the Grade Feed.

Please note that that your class will need to be using the Lesson Planner format.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

Once logged into your account, you will click on the Grade Feed icon on the top right (a red dot means that there are student responses awaiting teacher feedback).

You can also access the Grade Feed by clicking on Classroom and selecting Classes from the drop-down menu.

Step 2

Click on the class that you would like to see the Grade Feed for.

Step 3

You can check the Feedback Mode for this class' Grade Feed by clicking on Details.

Step 4

The Feedback Modes are powered by Ellii Bot - our AI powered companion.

The Manual Feedback Mode will require the teacher to score and send feedback to their students manually.

The Suggested Feedback Mode will require the teacher to approve/edit the scores & feedback that Ellii Bot has generated and then send it to their students.

The Automatic Feedback Mode will be scored by Ellii Bot and sends instant feedback to students without teacher review.

Step 5

After selecting the Feedback Mode of your choice, click Save at the bottom of the page.

Feedback mode changes

If you change the class Feedback mode, the change will only apply to new student submissions. Ellii Bot will not score or suggest grades for previous submissions.

Sending Grades/Feedback

When you send a grade or feedback that was Suggested by Ellii Bot, students will see it as manually graded by you.

Automatic Feedback mode

If feedback mode is set to "Automatic," students will see that Ellii Bot graded their answers. These submissions will automatically appear in the Graded tab of your Grade Feed.

Editing Ellii Bot grades

If you edit grades or feedback provided by Ellii Bot, it will then appear as graded by you.

Step 6

Access the Grade Feed for your class by clicking on the Grade Feed icon.

Step 7

Once in the Grade Feed, you will see student responses that are awaiting teacher feedback.

Step 8

You can also check the Grade Feed for your other classes by clicking on the drop-down menu.

Step 9

You can also sort the responses to be graded by date (Ascending or Descending).

Step 10

The responses will show the student name, the class they are in, the name of the lesson, the task type and the date it was completed. Click on a response to view it.

Step 11

Because the Suggested Feedback Mode was chosen for this class, the teacher will be required to approve/edit the scores & feedback that Ellii Bot has generated and then send it to their students.

Step 12

You can also leave a voice note for your student.

Step 13

Clicking Dismiss will remove the responses from your Grade Feed. You can still view the responses directly from your class' Lesson Planner.

Step 14

To review feedback that you have previously given, click on the Graded tab.

Student View:

Step 1

After logging into their Student Dashboard (https://ellii.com/students), students will click on the class that they would like to view their teacher's feedback for.

Step 2

Once in the class, students will click on the lesson that they would like to view feedback for.

Step 3

Once in the lesson, any task that has a blue speech bubble icon means that there is teacher feedback available. Clicking on the speech bubble allows the student to view the teacher feedback.
