Grades tab tools

From this screen, teachers and admins with appropriate permissions can:

  1. Use Quick edit to make changes to any activity score for the student right from this screen.
  2. Batch-update grades for the student on multiple activities.
  3. Print grades (informal transcript).
  4. Use the Clipboard and go to Announcements.
  5. Organize the activities on the screen by Grading categories or by Syllabus order.

Quick edit

The Quick edit tool allows you to update activity Scores for a student right on this screen.

To do so:

  1. Click the Enable quick-edit grading button in the toolbar (it is highlighted when enabled as in the screenshot).
  2. Click the row for any gradable activity to activate the editable field, and update the Score column.
    • Clicking on a new row saves the updated Score.
    • Pressing Enter while in a field saves the Score and navigates you to the next editable Score field.
    • Pressing Shift+Enter while in a field saves the Score and navigates you to the previous editable Score field.  

When you're done using Quick edit, you can click the tool in the toolbar to disable it.

If you leave it enabled, it remains enabled when you navigate away from the screen, so you can return and continue editing scores. Enabling Quick edit from this screen also enables it in the Gradebook, so you can navigate between screens to update scores.

To do so:
