The Manual Marking checkbox may not be enabled for one of the following reasons:
- The student has not submitted the activity.
- The student must click the <Submit> button upon completing the activity. If they don’t, the assignment will remain marked as “in progress” and cannot be graded manually.
- The assignment is still open and auto-submit has not been triggered.
The system automatically submits the activity 24 hours after the due date. Until this happens, the <Manual Marking> checkbox will remain inactive if the student hasn’t submitted it manually.
Suggestion: Check whether the student has already submitted the assignment and whether the activity has been closed. If not, you can either wait for the auto-submit to occur or ask the student to submit the activity manually.
