Gradebook
New in ME 1.20!
Ability to link a discussion forum from a course website to a gradebook assessment to allow for inline grading
Added setting option to allow organizations to permit bonus grades
Added ability to enter a numeric grade that does not require a denominator
Added a pencil icon to grading cell so graders more easily know where to enter grades
Improvements:
Reversed colors used to show late submissions in a course gradebook (red now means late, and black means on-time).
Fixed bug that was preventing the dropbox setting "Allow graders to see name of the learner they are grading" from correctly being applied
Fixed bug where dropbox assignment without a due date was displaying to learners as due Dec. 1969
Cleaned up gradebook export so that assessments with a custom audience only exported results for that audience
Cleaned up learner view of weighted collections so that collections with no assessment that carries a weight towards the collection visible to learners will not show them 0%
Gradebook is an Elentra module that allows the electronic management of all assessments and learner grades within a course/program. It has multiple capabilities including:
Recording grades and making them visible to learners and some faculty (e.g., course directors)
Supporting multiple marking schemes including percentages, numerical grades (e.g., 7/10), complete/incomplete, and pass/fail
Allowing an organization to have multiple grading scales as needed
Importing and exporting student grades
Linking assessments built through Elentra's quiz and exam module to a gradebook for easy transfer of grades
Allowing electronic submission of assignments through a drop box
Attaching grading forms (built in Assessment and Evaluation) to gradebook assessments
Allowing faculty to grade assessments electronically and provide individual feedback to learners
Notifying a designated person if a learner grade is below a specific threshold
Creating dashboard notices for learners re: upcoming assignments (this applies specifically to assessments with drop box assignments added)
Allowing administrators to record comments about grades (e.g. late, excused absence, etc.)
Using weighted collections in a gradebook to easily distribute weights of assessments within a collection (e.g. quizzes)
Providing documents to learners through the gradebook (Document Delivery) without the learner having submitted anything
