Does the Gradebook Module allow for the collection of student submissions?

No. Administrators who require a tool for managing or grading student submissions should use the Stellar Homework Tool. For more information, visit hereYes. As of the Fall 2015 release, the Homework tool has been integrated into the Gradebook Module. Assignments can be set to accept student submissions by checking the Allow students to submit their work online check box in Step 5. of assignment creation.

Why can't my students see their grades?

To display approved assignment grades to students, enable "View approved grades" under Students in Permissions. Likewise, make sure the grades you wish for students to view have been approved. (Note: students can never view unapproved assignment grades.)

When does a grade get released?

In the Gradebook Module, grades are viewable by students when:

  1. They have been approved by a course admin or instructor.
  2. And the Gradebook has been configured to show student's their approved grades.
