How to release grades to students on a particular date

By default, our Moodle is set to hide the grades from the students until they are manually released in the marking workflow.

Marking workflow is an excellent way to manage release of grades for individuals, groups and whole cohorts. It is extremely flexible.

If you don't want to have to go in and release grades at a particular time, you can also release grades all together on a particular date.  It saves you needing to remember to do this manually (though you can manually change the date if you need to).
