Gradebook Setup

OVERVIEW

A gradebook in a Learning Management System (LMS) is a digital tool used by educators to record and track students' academic progress and performance.

A gradebook functions as a central repository for storing and managing students' grades, assignments, assessments, and other relevant academic data. It allows teachers to input and calculate grades, generate progress reports, and provide valuable feedback to students. It often includes features such as weighted grading, customizable grading scales, and the ability to generate comprehensive reports for students, parents, or administrators.

The gradebook plays a crucial role in facilitating effective communication between educators, students, and parents, enabling all parties to monitor and assess academic performance efficiently.

GRADEBOOK SETUP

You can adjust your gradebook setup in the "Setup" tab.




GRADEBOOK SETUP
In the "Gradebook setup" tab, you can see all the activities that have been added to your grade book as grade items. By default, all course activities are automatically added to your gradebook when you add them to your course. Here, you can adjust the order (1) and weights (2) of grade items as well as edit the grade item settings or hide it from learners' user report view (3).



(1) Changing the order of grade items in the gradebook will not change the order of activities in your course.
(2) Manually changing the weight of a grade item will automatically adjust the weight of all other grade items in proportion.

COURSE GRADE SETTINGS
In the "Course grade settings" tab, you can define the settings that will determine how the course gradebook will appear to all participants.
