Grade Activity

Grade Activity

Each course has its own gradebook, which can record grades from assignments, tests and all course activities.  Access the Grading items by moving from the Course tab to the Grades tab.

Grading

Grades can be entered in multiple locations in Moodle. It will depend on what you are grading to determine where the best place is to enter the grades. There are advantages to each area. Entering grades from the Assignment has the advantage that it will send a notification to the student when the grade is submitted. This will not happen when the grade is edited from the grader report or single view screen.

Grading from the Assignment Page

Getting to the Activity Grading Interface

The best place to enter grades is from the assignment itself. From the assignment, click on View/Grade All Submissions.
