How to use Moodle Grades (Gradebook) #3 Adding a grade item (or column) in the gradebook

...

You might want to add a grade item for any assessment not directly related to a marked activity in Moodle, for example offline assignments, extra credit or tutor or tutor feedback, or to transfer marks from external assessment tools such as RogoExamSys,

One way of doing this is to add a 'Moodle Assignment' activity to your module page. Grades for this will automatically be included in the Gradebook. It can be useful, e.g., for returning grades and feedback for an offline assignment such as a presentation or lab work.  See creating a Moodle assignment.

...

To add a grade item (column)

1. In your module, click on 'Grades' on the module menu.
2. open the 'Hamburger menu' and select Grades. This will open the 'Grader report'.
3. At the top of the page, there is a dropdown menu. Click on 'Arrows' and Select the dropdown arrow, then select 'Gradebook setup'

   2. Note: A hidden grade will not be visible to students – you can uncheck this to release the grades when you are ready, or enable a date to make all grades available to students on that date. 
      • Locking prevents changes to grades so it is unlikely that locking would be applied until the marking process is complete, if at all. For more information about locking or hiding grades see Grades 6: To hide a grade for a particular assignment, or a particular category of grades from the student.
      • If you are using Categories you can choose (under Parent category) to include this item in an existing category. Select the Grade category from the drop-down list. (You can change this at a later date if you need to.) See Grades 5: How to add and use categories in the Grader report
