Clicking through every link in this Gradebook module is unnecessary. This Gradebook module is divided into two sections: Assignments and Exams & Quizzes, in order to make it easier for you to navigate to the types of assessments that apply to your Gradebook. In order to determine what sections of the Gradebook are applicable to the course that you are teaching, please schedule a Gradebook training with an Instructional Consultant who will go over what you need to know. If you are unable to schedule an appointment, please review your coursework checklist to the right before going through this module.

Schedule Training

Please schedule your training based on your current role:

Section Instructors

A Section Instructor is a faculty member that is responsible for the day-to-day functions of a course section including grading and facilitating weekly live sessions.


This 30 minute training will walk Section Instructors through specific functions of your gradebook as it relates to your course. Ideally, this live training session will be scheduled after your students submit their first assignment or exam. Please consult your course syllabus to determine when your student's first assignment is due.





Course Designers & Leads

A Course Designer/Lead is a faculty member who oversees the execution of all sections of a course; that includes ensuring that Section Instructors are comfortable with the technology, content, and teaching strategies of that course, managing exams, and developing lesson plans.

This 60 minute training should be completed prior to your students submitting their first assignment or exam.

During this session, we will review how student async responses, assignment submission, quizzes, and the grades function in your specific course. We will also provide strategies and answer questions related to the wall, activity report, files, and roster.



Note: This is only for faculty that will be building courses.
