Avenue Grades

This page details many of the same things that we do in our Grades workshop. This is a blended workshop - meaning that you will have viewed the resources on this page, maybe tried some of these tasks in a course shell and then attended our face-to-face workshop.

Here you will learn how to set up your gradebook, create grade items and input grades.

When you receive your course and you first access the Grades tool, you will be asked to go through the Grades Setup Wizard. Here is some help with that process: https://documentation.desire2learn.com/en/grades-setup-wizard

Once your gradebook has been set up, you will want to start creating some grade items. Most grade items will be numeric however, there are other types of grade items that you can create (selectbox, pass/fail, formula, calculated and text). Here's how to create a numeric grade item: https://documentation.desire2learn.com/en/creating-numeric-grade-items

When it comes to inputting grades, you can either enter them directly in Avenue (https://documentation.desire2learn.com/en/entering-grades) or you can import them from a spreadsheet (https://documentation.desire2learn.com/en/importing-grades).

Task:

Set up your gradebook using the Grades Setup Wizard and create 3 different grade items. Once you have completed this task, please take the following assessment. Once you have completed the assessment, and you would like further training with the Grades tool, please register for one of the workshops below.
