Create a Grade Item

Grade items represent individual assessments of student learning. Each grade item has its own entry in the Gradebook that you can use to assign a grade for each student.


Grade items can be associated to items in your course such as quizzes, assignment submission folders, discussion topics, and other items, or they can exist independently. Grade items can be graded numerically, based on a grade scheme, or with a simple text message depending on the type of grade item chosen.
