When a Moodle activity is graded from within an activity, grades will automatically appear in a corresponding grade item (column) in the Moodle gradebook Grader report. We recommend grading within Moodle activities when possible rather than directly in the gradebook because it will allow you to save as you go.
Grades can be recorded from within a graded Moodle activity. It's possible to grade Assignment activities using customizable rubrics. Rubrics can provide more meaningful feedback for students, ensure standardization in grading, and make grading more efficient.
Quizzes can be configured to be graded automatically with certain question types or can be graded when reviewing student responses to essay questions. Once a quiz grade is calculated, the total score will appear in the gradebook.
Forums can be graded by rating each post contributed by students. Ratings are aggregated to provide a single grade item for the forum. Refer to the Discussion Board Best Practices.
Grading Activity Submitted in Moodle
Grading Activity Submitted in Moodle
The easiest and least error-prone way to grade items created and submitted through Moodle, such as an Assignment or Quiz, is through that particular item’s grading interface. For example, if you have an Assignment, then you can click on that particular assignment in your course and assign grades through that interface. Grades will be automatically reflected in the gradebook.
To begin grading, you can access student submissions from the View/Grade all submissions page.
On your course page, click the name of an Assignment activity. The Assignment page opens and displays the description of the assignment and a summary of submissions.
Below the summary, click View/grade all submissions. The View/grade all submissions page will open.
The View/grade all submissions page displays a table showing student names, when submissions were last modified, and links to the submissions.
To view and grade individual submissions, under the Grade column heading, click Grade. The Grading page will open showing the full text of Online text submissions and links to download submitted files.
You can also open submissions directly from the View/grade all submissions page.
For File submissions: Under the File submissions column heading, click the file name. You will be prompted to save the file to your computer.
For Online text submissions: Under the Online text column heading, click the magnifying glass icon (above the text excerpt in the grading table). The full text submission will open in a new window.
