Gradebook: Overview
What it is
The Gradebook is a tool for instructors to calculate and store grade
information and distribute it to students online.
Key concepts
Features: Using the Gradebook, instructors may:
- Autocalculate course grades
- Create and edit a mapping of the course letter grade to a 100%
scale
- Add, view, edit, and release point values of assignments and/or
assessments to students
- Manually enter, view, edit, and release to students their scores
and grades
- Transmit scores to the Gradebook from tools such as Tests & Quizzes, thereby
creating a corresponding assignment in the Gradebook and recording
student scores for that assignment.
- Export scores and grades to Microsoft Excel (in
.xls
or .csv
format)
- Import assignment scores from spreadsheet (
.csv
) files.
Viewing scores: The Gradebook will allow students to
view their own scores and grades, once instructors have released them.
Things to consider
- Instructors can view information in the Gradebook in different
ways, including a general overview for each course, assignment detail,
course grade detail, student roster, adding or editing assignments,
and gradebook options.
- Students can view their cumulative scores for all assignments and
the corresponding percentage; view their course grades, once an
instructor releases them; and sort their assignments by title, due
date, grade, and total possible points per assignment.
