Written by Support Team

Creating an Individual Activity:

Step 1: Select the Activity Type

Select the Activities icon from the left navigation menu.

Select Create Activity at the top right-hand corner of the Activity page.

You will now be taken through a 4-step activity creation process:

  1. Activity Type

  2. Activity Details

  4. Schedule Activity

Under Choose an Activity Type, select Individual.

Under Activity Formats, select Individual Peer Assessment.

Select Save and Continue.

Note: You may also see other available activity formats, such as Individual Live Presentation or Individual Authorship Tracking. Individual Authorship Tracking dependant on the features enabled for your course.

Step 2: Fill out the Activity Details

In the Activity Details section, complete the following fields:

  • Title - Enter a clear and recognizable title for the activity. This title will be visible to students.

  • Overall Learning Objective(s) - Add the learning objective(s) for the activity. These should clearly explain what students are expected to learn or demonstrate.

Select Save and continue.

Step 3: Set Up the Rubric and Settings

In the Rubric & Settings step, Kritik will provide an AI-generated rubric based on the activity details entered in the previous step.
​
If you do not want to use the AI-generated rubric, you can replace it with your own rubric.

  1. If you wish to edit a rubric, select ‘Edit Rubric’

    1. Select ‘Save as’ if you wish to use this rubric template for future use

    2. Select ‘New Template’ or ‘Update Template’
      ​

    ***NOTE: Rubrics for active activities CANNOT be edited if they have entered/surpassed the Evaluate stage.***

Under Rubric Grading, select the grading type for the rubric:

  • Numeric

  • Pass/Fail

Select the option that best matches how you want students to evaluate peer submissions.
​

Configure Activity Settings

Below the rubric, you will see the Settings section. Select Expand to open the full activity settings.
​

The settings are organized into four tabs:

  • Scoring

  • Create Stage

  • Evaluate Stage

  • Feedback Stage

Scoring Setting


In the Scoring tab, you can set the grading details for the activity.

  • Grading Weight - Enter the grading weight for the activity. The default value is 1 pt, but this can be changed if needed.

  • Starting Score - Enter the starting score percentage for the activity. The default value is 0%.
    ​Note: Default grading weight and starting score values can also be changed in Course Settings.

Setting for Create Stage

In the Create Stage tab, you can:

  • Enable Multiple Topics if students will complete the same activity with different topic instructions.

  • Choose allowed file attachments: All File Types, Specific Files, or No File Attachment.

  • Turn on Similarity Check to be notified when students submit similar work.

  • Enable Require Creation so students must submit their own creation before receiving evaluations or feedback.

Setting for Evaluate Stage

In the Evaluate Stage tab, you can:

  • Set the Minimum Word Count for Evaluations. The default minimum is 20 words.

  • Choose the Number of Evaluations each student will complete.

  • Enable Add Evaluator Notes to provide instructions or files that only evaluators can see once the Evaluate stage begins.

Tip: We recommend assigning 3 or 4 evaluations per student.


What's Multi-Topic Activities?

Multiple Topics allows instructors to cover a wider range of content by having students do the same activity with varying instructions. Instructors may create as many as 26 topics in a single activity. Students will be distributed randomly, but proportionally across all topics.

  • Each student is randomly assigned one topic to make a creation for. Half the students are assigned Topic A and the other half are assigned Topic B.

  • Students will evaluate peer Creations on a topic different from their own.

  • Feedback works the same as regular activities.

Step 4: Schedule the Activity

In the Schedule Activity step, set the dates and deadlines for each stage:

  • Create Stage: Set when students can begin submitting their work and when submissions are due.

  • Evaluate Stage: Set when students must complete their peer evaluations.

  • Feedback Stage: Set when students must provide feedback to their evaluators.

  • Grading Stage: This is when instructors review scores and resolve any disputes or issues.

You can also enable a Submission grace period or Evaluation grace period if you want to give students extra time after the deadline. Submissions or evaluations completed during the grace period will be marked as late.

To customize late submission options, select Expand beside Late Submission Settings. From here, you can choose to if you would like to allow

NOTE: The default is to have late submissions accepted with approval. Late submissions settings are only applied for the Creation Stage.

Once all dates and settings are complete, select Schedule Activity.
