Create & manage gradebooks for every use case
- Recording grades and making them visible to learners and some faculty (e.g., course directors)
- Supporting multiple marking schemes including percentages, numerical grades (e.g., 7/10), complete/incomplete, pass/fail, and custom grading scale
- Allowing an organization to have multiple grading scales as needed
- Importing and exporting student grades
- Linking assessments built through Elentra's exam module to a gradebook for easy transfer of grades
- Allowing electronic submission of assignments through a drop box
- Attaching grading forms (built in Assessment and Evaluation) to gradebook assessments so faculty can grade assessments inline and provide feedback to learners
- Notifying a designated person if a learner's grade is below a specific threshold
- Creating dashboard notices for learners re: upcoming assignments (this applies specifically to assessments with a drop box added)
- Allowing administrators to record comments about grades (e.g., late, excused absence, etc.)
- Using weighted collections in a gradebook to easily distribute weights of assessments within a collection (e.g., quizzes)
- Providing documents to learners through the gradebook (Document Delivery) without the learner having submitted anything
