Switch to interactive view, if your vertical scrollbar does not show up, and thus the assignment column is hidden (or reduce the font size in Firefox, e.g. by holding CTRL and rolling the mouse scroll wheel):
Once you see the assignment column, you can either download all submissions as a zip file, open it with the built-in zip tools in Windows (XP or newer). This is especially practical if you want to then select all recordings and drag and drop them into an audacity window, for doing easy to comparative grading of student submissions, as described earlier.
To grade,
1. you still need to click next to the green exclamation marks which indicate where there is an assignment to be graded,
2. on the arrow keys which unfold a menu.
This gets you to the grade details:
You can also listen to the student recording submission by clicking on the file linked behind “users; file”.
Fill out your grade comments and grade.
Instead of doing (only) written comments, you could also oral feedback grade the student recording, and re-upload this new recording.
Finish by clicking button:”submit”.
