Moodle Gradebook and Setup

Thursday 16 January: 13-14.00

The Moodle Gradebook is a comprehensive and flexible tool for managing and organising student grades. It allows you to organise all assignments into summative and formative categories, and calculates course grade totals according to the relative weight of each assignment. It can also manage scenarios such as 'drop the lowest three grades' of a group of activities, and other types of grade aggregation.

Setting up the Gradebook properly is a prerequisite for MyGrades to work.

This webinar will review the main features of Gradebook and how to use them, and will be of relevance to anyone who is involved in managing and releasing student grades.
