Students will receive a graded rubric in their gradebook, if a rubric is attached to the coursework.

Our gradebook saves your time grading.

It is a control center with access to various areas of your classroom without leaving the gradebook.


How to setup a Gradebook

  1. Create a class.
  2. To add grade items, create coursework as needed.
  3. Build the roster. Note: It's best to ask students to join the class. That way students can securely access their grades online.
  4. Go to grades menu and select the class.
  5. To enter grades for a coursework, click on the coursework title in gradebook or select coursework from the dropdown list.


Note: Grading can be done quickly and consistently by attaching a rubric to coursework. Scores are automatically calculated and entered into your gradebook.

To use rubrics for grading, please see Coursework assessment with rubrics.
