What\u2019s Different about the Canvas <\/span><\/span>Gradebook<\/span><\/span>?<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Gradebook in Canvas and the Grade Center<\/span>\u00a0in Blackboard are similar in many respects.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>The Grades link is how you and your students access the course gradebook<\/span>\u00a0\u2013 just like the Grade Center in Blackboard<\/span>.\u00a0 The gradebook is where you will view and grade student submissions and assign weights to assignment groups for Total grade calculation.\u00a0 Unlike Blackboard,\u00a0<\/span>you can\u2019t weight a column without putting it an assignment group. Also,\u00a0<\/span>you can\u2019t manually create a column in the gradebook<\/span>\u00a0like you could in Blackboard, so y<\/span>ou must create an assignment for a column to be created in the gradebook, even if that is activity is not submitted through Canvas.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enhancements to Gradebook include the options to automatically assign a zero score to missing assignments or deduct points for late submissions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Activities can be graded by simply entering a grade, using a rubric, or using\u00a0<\/span>SpeedGrader<\/span>\u00a0in Canvas, which is\u00a0similar to\u00a0Blackboard\u2019s in-line grading function.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
