Intended Audience
This article is intended for instructors interested in using Brightspace Grade tool for online grade book in their courses.
Overview
The Brightspace Grades tool is a feature of every course. It is a flexible, online grade book that instructors can use to provide their students with timely and readily accessible feedback. The Grades tool can accommodate both points-based and weighted grading methods, the inclusion of bonus and extra credit opportunities, the exclusion of certain items (e.g., the lowest quiz score) from the final grade, and more. The Grades tool is also integrated with other D2L tools used to support graded activities, including the Quizzes, Discussions, Dropbox, and Rubrics tools. Grades from these activities can be transferred to the Grades tool automatically. The following video provides an important overview of the Grade Tool.
