User manual for Mark&Go Students guide
This document describes how students can access their annotated assignments. Annotations include highlights and comments as feedback provided by teachers to sustain the marks. This installation process is conducted once at the beginning of the course, no matter the number of assignments the course encompasses. A small video is available.
Feel free to open an issue if you get lost in any of the steps or if you have some insights about how to improve Mark&Go or its documentation. Thanks. Next, we provide steps for students to check their marked assignments online.

Mark&Go is a Moodle plug-in for marking student assignments which have been uploaded to Moodle. Mark&go works for Google Chrome (or Chromium) and Opera web browsers.
To install Mark&Go go to "Feedback comments" (see Figure 3-A). Click on "install Mark&Go". It will redirect you to the Chrome Web Store. Click "Add to Chrome" button (see Figure 4) and accept the permissions that the tool needs (see Figure 5).

Accept the permissions that Mark&Go requires (Figure 5)
This is a cloud repository where annotations are kept. Return to Feedback comments page (see Figure 3) and click on "Join Hypothes.is group" (Figure 3-B). It will redirect you to Hypothes.is (see Figure 6).
Join feedback group (Figure 6)
If you already have an Hypothes.is account, then go to Step 4.2. Otherwise, Step 4.1 describes how to create an Hypothes.is account.
Navigate to https://hypothes.is/login . Click on the "Sign up" bottom at the bottom of this page (Figure 7).
Sign up in Hypothes.is (Figure 7)
Hypothes.is prompt you for an username, a password and an email account. It is important to use a valid email account because Hypothes.is will send you an activation link to this email.
Once you have an account in Hypothesis, go bar to your Moodle's assignment page (Figure 3)
Once on your assignment page, click on "Join Hypothes.is group" in Moodle (see Figure 3-B). Once on Hypothesis, click on "Join MGXXXXX" button in Hypothes.is. If everything is okay, you will see a similar page to Figure 8. You can close this tab and return to Moodle.
After joining Hypothes.is group (Figure 8)
Your teacher has annotated your assignment similar to the example in Figure 3. You will be able to see each criteria, the mark given, the comments and a link to "see in context". Click on "see in context" (see Figure 3-C), you will be redirected to your assignment and it will shown you the assignment with the annotations given.
The first time you use Mark&Go, some permissions are requested (see step 4.3.1).
Click on Mark&Go icon (see Figure 9) and it will ask you to give local file access permissions (Figure 10).
Click on Mark&Go icon (Figure 9)

Follow the instruction: right-click on Mark&Go icon, manage extensions and activate "enable access to file URLs". Go back to Moodle and click again in "see in context". Now you will see your assignment annotated (Figure 11).

- To navigate through your assignment annotations, click on the sidebar buttons.
- If you hover an annotation, it will shown you the feedback comment, your mark and the criteria that pertains to.
- If you double click on an annotation, you can reply to your teacher's feedback (see Figure 12), to ask for clarification, etc. Currently it is possible to modify the comment of your last comment, but not if your teacher replies to you.
Replying to your teacher (Figure 12)
When happens: It appears when you are not joined to your Hypothes.is feedback group. Mark&Go needs this because the annotations made by the teacher are stored in this Hypothes.is group.
How to solve: To solve this problem, make sure that you are logged in Hypothes.is and that you have done correctly the step 4.
