The Gradebook Module now includes support for Homework/Assignment submissions. This feature obviates the need for instructors or administrators to maintain separate tools for collecting online submissions and grading, as assignment creation and assignment submission capabilities are integrated into one module.

Filters on Assignments page
1. Filter By Assignment Name
You can filter/search for assignment titles by entering text into the Assignment Filter (1). The number to the right of the Assignment Filter indicates how many assignments are currently displayed in the assignment list.
2. Filter By Assignment State
Assignments can also be filtered by the assignment state (9). The number at the end of each line indicates how many assignments exist in that 'state'. The assignments page will display assignments based on the states that are checked (via the checkboxes). Note: Assignments can exist in two states e.g., an assignment with both graded and ungraded students will count twice – as an assignment that is To Be Graded and an assignment that is To Be Approved.
