After the upgrade of July 2017, there have been two new functionalities added in the Grade Center and in Needs grading.

Reminders

After the July 2017 upgrade, the teachers can send students who have not yet submitted their assignment a reminder from the Gradecenter. This functionality can also be used with Anonymous grading and Delegated grading. Click the gray arrow in the column of the assignment for which you want to send a reminder. Then choose “Send Reminder.”

The email is a standard email that will be sent. This contains information about:

• The coursework
• If set, a due date

Columns belonging to rated assignments are not completely deleted, only the content is deleted. To do this go to the Grade Center and choose above the Grade Center for Manage and then Column organization. Tick the columns that may be removed. Click Delete to delete.
