By default, the Gradebook is available to all students and will list their recorded grades. The entire Gradebook, as well as individual grade columns including the total, can be hidden from students' view. Each activity you create will have a column in the Gradebook, even things like Zoom meetings, which can be set to bear no weight on the final total. It is important to note that they will also appear in the gradebook unless hidden.
Total
We recommend hiding the grade total until the end of the semester
If you would like to explicitly set the weights of graded items, the course total grade should be set to the aggregation method Weighted mean of grades. Go to Assigning Weights to Grade Items documentation page for more information.
The default Maximum mark is 100 and grades are set to display two decimal places. This applies to the assessment activity and to its associated column in the grade book.
View Gradebook
- To view the Gradebook, click Grades in the top row to launch the Gradebook.
A horizontal and vertical scrollbar is displayed at the bottom and top of the spreadsheet whenever the grade columns do not fit within the page. This navigational functionality allows for smooth and scrolling through grades while student names remain static. From here, grades can be analyzed or updated.
Updates to grades should be made directly from their associated activities (assignment, journal, forum, etc.). Only offline activities grades should be updated in the Gradebook directly.
Grades updated directly in the Gradebook will not be updated in the activities and will become locked. Students would then see different grades for course activities.
Summary of Gradebook functions:
- The average grade of each assessment item is displayed along the bottom of the report.
- Grades in each column can be sorted.
- Each assessment item in the Gradebook can be accessed by clicking on its title.
- Entire grade columns can be hidden and released manually by the instructor or triggered by a release date.
- Individual student grades can also be hidden and released in the same manner.

Types of Grade Report View
There are various formats of Grader report view. To see the options available click on the Grade report drop-down menu:
- The Grader report is the main gradebook view where instructors see all students down the left and all graded activities across the top. You can review, sort, hide, and edit grades directly here (with “Turn editing on”), and it automatically shows grades from all graded course activities.
-
Single View lets you focus on either one student’s full set of grades or one grade item for all students. It’s useful for quickly entering or bulk editing grades for a specific item or person.
-
Gradebook setup is where you organise your gradebook structure: create/edit grade categories, assign items to categories, adjust weights, and control how the gradebook calculates overall and category totals.
-
Course grade settings let you control how the gradebook appears and behaves for the course — such as display options, how totals are calculated, and what details students see in their reports.
