Connect Gradescope to Your Moodle Course
Overview
Gradescope is a service for managing and grading written exams, homework assignments, and auto-grading submitted code, and can be linked to your Moodle course by adding an activity. Once linked, you will be able to sync your course roster and grades between Gradescope and Moodle.
Connect Gradescope

From the Add an activity or resource pop-up menu, choose External Tool. The activity settings screen will open.
In the Preconfigured tool dropdown menu, select Gradescope, then choose Select content. The Link to Moodle Course/Assignment pop-up window will open.
If this is your first time connecting Gradescope with this Moodle course, you will be prompted to select one of the following options:

After choosing an option, select Link Course.
Next, the pop-up window will prompt you to link with an assignment from one of the following options:
A new Gradescope assignment
An existing Gradescope assignment
After choosing an option, select Link Assignment.
Note: If you choose to make a new Gradescope assignment, you will be directed to configure the assignment settings within the same pop-up window. When you are finished configuring the settings, choose Create assignment.
After completing the Gradescope assignment setup, the pop-up window will close, and the Activity name and Tool URL fields will be filled in. Scroll to the bottom of the page and choose Save and return to course.
A new activity link will be added to your Moodle page and a corresponding grade item will be added to your Moodle gradebook. When following the link from Moodle, students will be automatically signed into gradescope where they can complete the assignment or exam.
