Overview

Scores are a convenient way to see all the scores of all the learners in your course. It also provides access to statistics such as the number of excused and past due assessments, the min/max/average scores, and a graph of the results. To see the scores achieved in the course, click Scores from the left bar.

You can also access the scores of a course from the Teaching dashboard by clicking the scores icon on the course tile.

Depending on how many learners and assessments there are, scroll bars will appear that let you scroll through the scores.

Using the scores grid

Each assessment is listed at the top of the table, with an icon to indicate its type, a link to the assessment, and the number of points associated with the assessment. 

The Grade Release row indicates when each assessment score is designated to be released. For any assessments marked as Manual, click Manual in the Grade Release row.

A pop appears, confirming to “release all grades now”. Click OK.

To edit a table cell, click on it and then enter the number of points, a percentage (a number followed by %), a letter score, "X" for excused, “M” for missing, “AB” for absent, or "I" for incomplete. An incomplete counts 0 towards the final score, and indicates that a learner submitted incomplete work that is not worthy of a score, but still might be awarded a score if they complete the submission. The learner is automatically sent a message that their assessment has been graded. 

You can also use keyboard shortcuts on the score grid, by entering the following symbols:
