Defining Gradebook URLs

Instructors can export Gradebook data to their local drive. Gradebook provides an export utility. To use it, you must first define an FTP server and URL address for the extract file.

This section lists a prerequisite and discusses how to define an FTP server and URL address.

Set up the FTP server and confirm its full FTP address.
