The Gradebook allows instructors to do the following:

  • Enter grades and comments in a readable spreadsheet view.
  • Auto-calculate course grades, with the ability to override any course grade.
  • Define course letter grades and grading schema.
  • Choose between point- or percentage-based grading.
  • Add Gradebook items for manually graded or offline activities.
  • Collect and display scores from other native tools such as Tests & Quizzes, Assignments, and Discussions.
  • Restrict permissions so Teaching Assistants can only grade specific rosters or groups of students.
  • Import grades from a spreadsheet (CSV) file.
  • Export grades as a spreadsheet (CSV) file.
  • Create extra credit items and/or categories.
  • Organize grades into categories, and use categories to do the following:
    • Assign a weight to the category
    • Automatically drop grades in a specific category.
  • Export a printer-friendly (PDF) version of individual student grades.

Students can view their own grades and comments in the Gradebook.
