Education Online Moodle Grading Tool Tutorials

Time to give your students immediate feedback!

The Moodle grades area is a useful tool for tracking student scores in your course. Currently, the gradebook module not only is an automated tool for tracking scores in Moodle activities, but also helps you with handy calculations. Many activities in Moodle, such as assignments, forums and quizzes may be given grades. Grades may have numerical values, or words/phrases from a scale or rating system. You can even download your scores to a spreadsheet or other tool for additional analysis. Students appreciate being able to check their grades at any time and to compare themselves to the class average.

In addition, Grades aren’t the only way to give feedback to students. With Moodle’s scales, you can create lists of nonnumeric feedback options for assessing student work. You can easily create your own additional scales for feedback options that are meaningful to you and your students.

Grading tool helps instructors to track and monitor each student’s progress. In addition, when many formative learning activities are designed, and tracking and calculating grades become serious and tedious tasks, grading tool is powerful.
