Chapter 4. Assigning Grades
In the previous chapter, we added a total of five assignments using scales, number grades, outcomes, a marking guide, and a rubric. We also added a graded item directly into the Gradebook.
Once graded activities are added to a Moodle course, we need to award grades to students. Some of the activities are graded by Moodle, such as quizzes and some elements of lessons, but activities with a lot of written content need to be reviewed and graded by the teacher.
In this chapter, we will look at different ways of grading work using a range of grade types. We will see how to:
- Grade assignments with number grades, scales, outcomes, marking guides, and rubrics
- Add written feedback, including inline comments with online text submitted by students
- Download and upload grades using the offline grading options
- Use quick grading directly within the Gradebook
