Students grades in Buzz are not their actual score for the course. That is housed in our LMS system. I want to be able to hide the course score from the students on the dashboard. I still want them to see the score they get on individual assignments, just not the overall score that Buzz calculates. Is there a way to do this? I already have it turned off in the Gradebook to not show the score column, but it still shows the student on the Dashboard.
Thank you!
I wanted to provide some guidance on adjusting the Grade View options within your course settings to customize how student course scores are displayed on the card in the Student App.
While you won't be able to disable all the checkboxes (since "Percent" is the default setting), you can choose to keep only the "Minutes spent" checkbox enabled. This way, Buzz will hide the points achieved by the student in the course, their percentage, and letter grade, and instead, only show the number of minutes they've spent in the course. Please see my screenshots below.
Furthermore, I'd like to learn more about what you mean by "actual scores" in your LMS. How do you calculate the overall course grade within your LMS, and how does this differ from how Buzz displays it? It would be incredibly helpful if you could provide some specific examples to help me better understand your situation.
Thank you for this! This is better for our situation. I have video discussion boards that are done on another site and other assignments that are outside of Buzz that go into the overall course grade. All of those are kept in our school LMS, Moodle. I also have the grades weighted in Moodle, so the score that shows in Buzz does not give the total picture of what is going on. Our school want our LMS to house the official grades for our students.
I'm glad to hear that helped! Are you using Publish Anywhere to publish your content? That may be another method to help keep your content in a more centralized location and also help alleviate the grade differences between environments.
