Connect Assessments to the Gradebook

Use these approaches to connect course Assessments (Discussions, Quizzes, Exams, and Assignments) with the Gradebook.

It is easier to create the grade item first, then to connect it to an assessment using these methods.

But you can also create a new grade item from the assessment as well.
