How does it work?
|

First of all, it �s great to have the website back to normal! Thanks, Victor, for fixing it! Now, please, don �t bother posting in here if you think I �m advertizing. I �ve created my very first online exercise and I �ve been wondering how the system of approval works. Where does the exercise show to be voted for? And how long does it take? When will I be able to add it to my students � list? I �ll be greateful for a meaningful answer. Sophia |

Hi Sophia It works the same as with ws or PPT. However the points you get are not displayed which is unfortunate. If you make an online exercise, you �ll get points according to other users �
ratings:
- Average rating 5: you will get 10 points
- Average rating 6:
you will get 20 points
- Average rating 7: you will get 30 points
-
Average rating 8: you will get 50 points
- Average rating 9: you will get 100
points
- Average rating 10: you will get 150 points
- Average rating under
5: the contribution is not approved and will be removed. |

That �s exactly what I was wondering about. I know the figures, I just don �t understand what "rating" means. Does it mean the number of people who use it? Or do the moderators approve it on some special page? Is there a "recomend this" button somewhere? Sophia

Hi Sophia
When someone downloads your OE, a page will show up for people to rate the exercise.
Please rate this exercise
This exercise is pending approval. If you have
seen this exercise, please review it:
It is good to read comments first. Maybe other
teachers reported it as stolen and you didn �t know.
If the exercise is definitely approved (based on average rating), it will be
included for free in
www.englishexercises.org, and the author will get points according to
the average rating.
Then it follows as Carlos has just written.
I �ve just rated it. 
Hugs Linda

Thanks Linda, I �ve never seen this "send your opinion" message before? that �s why I was asking. Will then the rating be visible to me on my page? I actually made that one for my students for extra vocabulary practice for the Unit we �ve just started. I just want to know how it works. One more question in the page, where your students� results are shown, what do the red numbers mean? BC I�ve noticed they don�t coincise with the number of correct answers, so what are they, some sort of marks, then, what�s the highest mark? Sophia

Hi there again No, ratings are not visible... only the remarks of members who are kind enough to leave one. Unlike ws or PPT where you can check how many people have downloaded them, in oe there is no way of knowing... which I find a bit unfair (maybe Victor can change this). I also think they are underrated, though I don �t care... I mostly do them for my students and not because of the points I may get for them. Regarding your questions on the final score... well it �s just a score. 10 means everything is correct...it doesn �t refer to the actual correct answers... if they get 9 then something is wrong... etc. Hope this was enlightening.

Thank you, Carlos, for helping me out and making it all clear:) Me too, I �m actually interested in whether or not I �ll be able to use the oe I created with my students. Sophia
