The Grade Center introduction

The Blackboard Grade Center is an extensive application. Obviously, the Grade Center is a place to view and grade assignments and test results, but there is more functionality available like calculated columns, sorting by group membership, grade or other criteria you have created yourself, and including or excluding certain grades. An overview:

.

1 Button bar with roll-out management options
2 Fixed columns with student details (these will remain in place if you scroll to the right)
3 Scrollable columns with details on:

  • username and studentID
  • last access
  • availability for the course
  • total score
  • weighted score
  • scores for individual parts

As soon as an instructor publishes a Blackboard test or assignment, a column for it is automatically created in the Grade Center.

Note
The official marks of the students are registered in Osiris. The marks are not automatically copied from Blackboard to Osiris. The (final) marks can be entered in Osiris via www.uu.nl/osirisdocent/.
