The Gradebook Module now includes support for Homework/Assignment submissions. This feature obviates the need for instructors or administrators to maintain separate tools for collecting online submissions and grading, as assignment creation and assignment submission capabilities are integrated into one module.

Filtering the Assignments Table
By Assignment Name
You can filter the assignment table by entering text into the Assignment Filter (1). The numeral beside the Assignment Filter indicates how many assignments are currently displayed in the assignment table.
By Assignment State
You can filter the assignment table by assignment state (9). Only assignments with the checked state will be displayed. The numerals indicate how many assignments exist in each state. Assignments can exist in multiple states - for example, if an assignment has both graded and ungraded students, it has both the state of To Be Graded and To Be Approved.
An explanation of each state:
To Be Graded | The assignment has one or more ungraded students. |
---|---|
To Be Approved | The assignment has one or more unapproved grades. |
Completed | The assignment has all grades entered and approved. |
Deleted | The assignment was deleted. |
