Instructional Guide: Learn Gradebook

Overview

The grader report collects items that have been graded from the various parts of Moodle that are assessed, and allows you to view and change them as well as sort them out into categories and calculate totals in various ways. When you add an assessed item in a Moodle course, the gradebook automatically creates space for the grades it will produce and also adds the grades themselves as they are generated, either by the system or by you.

When To Use

The Moodle Gradebook automatically aggregates scores and feedback from Assignments, Activities, and/or Manual grades from your Moodle course. Students can view their own grades in individualized reports which protect student privacy. Instructors can decide when and how students see the gradebook, or choose to hide the gradebook entirely. Instructors and Teaching Assistants can use the gradebook to manually enter and edit grades (Overriden), import grades from outside sources (such as OWL, iClicker, and Opscan), or export the gradebook to manage it in another software (like Excel).
