Grade Center in Blackboard

The Grade Center in Blackboard, much like a traditional paper grade book, helps faculty organize and manage student submissions and evaluate performance. But unlike the traditional counterpart, the Grade Center has many features and automated options to help with course management.

The Grade Center in Blackboard - Part 1: Basics

The Grade Center in Blackboard, much like a traditional paper grade book, helps faculty organize and manage student submissions and evaluate performance. But unlike the traditional counterpart, the Grade Center has many features and automated options to help with course management. In this workshop, we will present a basic overview of features and functionalities within the Grade Center. Beyond basic navigation of the Grade Center, we will explore automated grade calculations, monitor student progress, create categories and smart views.

The Grade Center in Blackboard - Part 2: Grade Management

The focus is to cover features to help manage grading daily, weekly and semester. We will discuss created midterm / final columns, total / weighted columns, and record keeping. This workshop is for individuals who have participated in the Grade Center in Blackboard - Part 1: Basics webinar, or have extensive experience with the Grade Center. We strongly encourage people who have most of their graded content already created on Blackboard.

The Grade Center in Blackboard - Part 3: Grade Center Clean-Up

This workshop is for faculty who want to look at their course to clean-up their Blackboard Grade Center. Whether to organize and declutter or start using the “Submit Grades to the Registrar” (ILP) process in Blackboard, this workshop will help you get an initial idea of what you need to do. Using the Grade Center Clean Up Worksheet, faculty will identify what parts of their Blackboard Grade Center could be adjusted, and how to organize and clean up their course once the semester is over.
