How to use Moodle Grades (Gradebook) #1: Introduction & overview

...

When you add an assessment or an assignment to a Moodle module, the Gradebook automatically creates an item or column for the grades it will produce. As a marker adds the grades (e.g., for an assignment), or the system generates the grades (e.g., for an automatically marked quiz,) the grades appear in these columns in the Gradebook.

Grades are accessed from the Navigation blockthe 'Hamburger menu' block:

  1. Log into Moodle and go to your module
  2. From the module dashboard, find the Navigation block, and click on Module titleGrades
  3. Click on the 'Hamburger menu' and select Grades

Let's start with some definitions.

You can use a scale (also called a rubric) to evaluate a student’s performance. Moodle comes with a standard set of numeric scales. It is possible to create custom scales, as well as use those provided as standard in Moodle. For example, you can give the student a word or short phrase as a grade or minimal type of feedback, e.g., ‘below standard’, ‘good’, ‘very good’ and ‘excellent’.
