The Select Evaluators feature in Assignments allows instructors to delegate the evaluation of student work to other instructors within a D2L course. This is particularly useful for managing large workloads and providing students with diverse feedback. In courses with multiple Faculty, individual students can be assigned to different faculty members for evaluation.

• Evaluators grade student submissions and provide feedback.
• Publishers release feedback to students and publish grades to the gradebook.
• Publishers do not necessarily have to be Evaluators.

2. To allocate students to evaluators, you may do one of the following:
   
   
   1. Choose between [Allocate all evaluators to every learner] or [Randomly allocate 1 evaluator to every learner evenly] from the Default Allocation Method dropdown and select [Apply Allocation Method]. When finished, select [Done].
      
      
      
   2. Manually assign students to evaluators by using the checkboxes. When finished, select [Done].
      
      

      NOTE: Manually allocating students while having [All evaluators can publish any evaluations] selected will allow evaluators to publish evaluations completed by others.

      

Coordinate Multiple Evaluators

When you have multiple evaluators allocated to the same student, choose between the following two options: 

1. [One shared evaluation]: All evaluators work on the same evaluation together. Publishers release this evaluation to students.
   
   
2. [Multiple individual evaluations]: Evaluators work on their own evaluations separately. Publishers aggregate results into one final evaluation and release it to student.
