Administrators access the Gradebook Category page directly through the system's menu navigation to create high-level assignment categories that instructors can use to cluster their assignments (for example, homework, quizzes, tests, participation, and so on). This is setup data that you must create before instructors can use Gradebook.
The Gradebook Category page is not designed for self-service. In addition, administrators can, as an option, access the Course Assignments - Assignments page, the Course Assignments - Category Weight page, and the Course Assignments - Grading Scale page to set up course assignments at the catalog level. The system populates these pages to the class level by default. Finally, an administrator must define an FTP server and URL address if you want to enable instructors to export grades to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet on their local drives.
Instructors access Gradebook to create assignments and enter grades. They can do this through:
Faculty Center navigation.
Gradebook menu navigation.
