Understanding Attendance and Grading

Before you can mark grades and attendance, you must:

• Define attendance schemes.

• Define passing schemes.

• Define grading schemes.

• Enroll learners in classes.

  See Modifying Passing, Grading, and Attendance Schemes.

  See Understanding Enrollment and Registration.

Enterprise Learning Management provides class rosters that administrators and instructors can use to manage attendance and grading for classes. Instructors can also access class rosters through the Instructor Schedule component, which they use to review their teaching schedules. Tracking attendance and grades is not applicable for programs (curricula and certifications).

Administrators and instructors can use the class rosters to manually mark grades and attendance and enter scores for classes and their components. They can also override any attendance statuses, passing statuses, and scores that have been automatically updated by Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) or Aircraft Industry Computer Based Training Committee (AICC) compliant content. Administrators and instructors can override attendance and grades for a class without changing the attendance and grading information for the class's components. Enterprise Learning Management also provides a process for automatically marking attendance and passing statuses for learners.

Enterprise Learning Management delivers default attendance, passing, and grading schemes that list the values that instructors and administrators can use to mark a learner's attendance status, passing status, and grade for each learning component within a class. You can modify the delivered values to match the requirements of the organization. Define attendance, passing, and grading schemes on the Attendance Schemes, Grading Schemes, and Passing Scheme pages.
