Blackboard 8: Grade Center

What is Grade Center:

The Grade Center is a tool that is accessible to instructors, teaching assistants, and graders in a course. The Grade Center replaces the Gradebook in previous Blackboard versions. The Grade Center in Blackboard is a dynamic and interactive tool, allowing entries, views, and email correspondence to occur directly from a main page.

For the most part, the Grade Center functions just like the old gradebook. However, there are many enhancements that greatly increase the Grade Center's usability. One is the ability to "Exempt Grades" as you see fit. Another is the ability to create different grade center views and to manage and organize the Grade Center views. Other additional improvements include an easy way to email students from within the Grade Center, keep a running total, a weighted total, and a final total score columns, and the ability to always retain the original score, and more. These are just some of the many ways the Grade Center has improved. Download and read the below for full details on how to best use the Grade Center for your many needs.
