The Online
Gradebook posts all student grades associated with assessments. The
gradebook also accommodates scores for essay questions and grades
for work outside of the Blackboard 5 platform. The grades should be
entered in numeric format such as 90 or 92.5. This is done with the
spreadsheet, which is a powerful tool for managing course grades.
The Spreadsheet View is used to add gradebook items, add grades, and
remove grades.
