What's New @ Wisenet

We’ve upgraded the Autograde Process to provide even more flexibility in how grades flow from your eLearning platforms into Wisenet. With this update, you can better control when and how autograding occurs, ensuring your results align perfectly with your workflows and requirements.

New Autograde Pathways:

• Autograde Regardless of Existing Results: Enables autograding even if results are already present.

• Autograde Based on Unit Enrolment Status: Only autograde if the unit enrolment status is set to “current.”

Current Pathways Still Available:

• Autograde Only If No Result Is Saved: Prevents overwriting any existing results.

• Autograde If No Result or a “Failed” Result Exists: Updates results only if the mapped result is classified as “failed.”

Why It Matters:

This upgrade allows you to tailor autograding to your specific needs while ensuring greater accuracy and clarity in result management. The unit enrolment status pathway, which we recommend for most users, leverages Wisenet’s design fully and provides a clear framework for when autograding will overwrite existing results.

Make the Most of Autograding:

Optimise your workflows, reduce manual data entry, and ensure alignment between your eLearning platform and Wisenet.
