Page History

 Aropa uses 3 different permission levels:

• Instructor - can administrate the activity, impersonate users
• TA Grader - can grade activities they were assigned
• Students - can participate in the peer review process

1.  Login to https://aropa2.gla.ac.uk/aropa/aropa.php?action=login&at=37 using the username and password that was provided to you

2.  Select the appropriate class and choose Create assignment from the menu on the left

   Tip
   If this is the first time you are accessing your class, visit Setting up Your Class for more information on adding students and TAs.

   
   

3. Fill in the information on the New Assignment page.  

   Info

   Submission requirements allows for text or files to be submitted. File size limits in Aropa are 15 mb. If students are expected to submit written work without images, it is strongly recommended that a submission textbox be used as this will ensure students will be able to open and review the work that was allocated to them. If files larger than 15 mb are expected to be submitted, students can be instructed to upload their work to an external service (i.e Google Drive or OneDrive).  Please note: choosing a specific file type for students to upload will simply present a warning message when students upload the incorrect format. The uploaded file will still be submitted to Aropa

   
   

1. Choose Edit rubric from the left hand menu

2. Begin typing your criteria in the textbox. Comment boxes and radio buttons can be inserted from the Aropa menu. Criteria groupings need to be separated by a Divider  
   

   Tip
   Existing rubrics can be duplicated and modified from the existing rubric drop-down (above the text editor)

   
   

 By default a newly created Rubic will not have grades associated to the criteria. Points can be assigned by doing the following:

1. Choose Label rubric from the left menu

2. On the Label Rubric page enter a descriptive name for each button group. Numbers can be assigned form the third column
   

   Info
   Only whole numbers can be entered in Aropa. If you are designing a more granular rubric, scale the numbers up (e.g. use 125 instead of 1.25). TAs and Students will not see this change. The grades can be changed once they are exported to the LMS.

   
   

1.  On the left menu choose Specify allocations

2. On the Setup allocations page, choose the desired allocation method. For most applications Allocate randomly will work for individual submissions allocated between the entire class. For groups and manual allocations please contact Julian or Martin
