The “Grading” subsystem allows you to create a series of “Electronic Gradebooks” within your course. This system makes it possible to finalize grading and inform students about their scores. It also allows you to grade students on activities such as assignments or exercises, as well as on activities that are not automatically graded (e.g., oral grades, lab grades). Once a gradebook is created, the instructor is given options such as: adding new activities, assignments, exercises, or learning lines; adding or linking students to the gradebook; and entering grades. To create a new gradebook, select the “New Gradebook” link. Then, enter the details that describe the gradebook, such as the title, start and end dates, and the grading scale.

To save the entered data, select the “Save” link. The result of completing the gradebook data entry is shown in the image below.

Next, we move to the second phase of creating the gradebook, where we define the students who will participate and the activities it will contain. To add or link students to this specific gradebook, select the “Students” link and then the “Update list” link.

On the screen that appears, you are given three options: participation of all students in the gradebook, participation of specific students in the gradebook, or participation of specific student/user groups in the gradebook. To include all students, select the corresponding option and simply specify the registration date range (from-to). The process is completed by selecting the “Update” link.

To add specific students, simply select the students you want from the left column and move them to the right. The process is completed by selecting the “Update” link.

To add specific user groups, select the desired user group or groups from the left column and move them to the right. The process is completed by selecting the 'Update' link.

Subsequently, and once the users have been entered/added to the gradebook, you can add a series of “gradable subsystems” in which the trainees have participated. These subsystems will determine the structure of your gradebook and can be:

• Activities
• Assignments
• Exercises
• Learning paths

To add an activity, select the Add-Activity link and define its type (Written exams, lab grade, oral grade). Then, enter the activity's title, define the percentage of this activity's contribution to the total grade, and choose whether or not the grades will be visible to users. The process is completed by selecting the “Save” link.

To add an assignment to the gradebook, select the Add Assignment link. From the list of existing assignments, add the one you wish. At this point, you should note that if the gradebook's start and end date includes the assignment's submission date, then the assignment's grade is automatically added (automatic grading) to the specific gradebook (for existing users of that gradebook).

If you wish to add an exercise to the gradebook, select the Add Exercise link. From the list of existing exercises, add the one you want. Again, you should note that if the gradebook's start and end date includes the exercise's execution date, its grade will be automatically added (automatic grading) to the specific gradebook (for existing users of that gradebook).

To add a learning path to the gradebook, select the Add Learning Path link. From the list of existing learning paths, add the one you want.

A key function of the gradebook is “Refresh grades from activities,” which allows you to import grades that already exist in various activities.

If you want to edit any of the gradebook's initial details (title, start date), you can select the “Edit” link. You can also export the gradebook to an Excel file, with the option to export results both by activity and by user.

For non-automatic grading of gradebook items (activities, assignments), first select the desired gradebook, then click on it, and re-select the item you want to grade. It's important to note here that you must define the percentage participation of each item in the final total.

To enter a grade, click on the name you wish to grade and fill in their score. The process is completed by selecting the “Submit” link.

To add students to the specific gradebook select the link “Students” and then the link “here”.

The screen that appears gives you three options: participation of all students in the gradebook, participation of specific students in the gradebook, participation of specific groups of students in the gradebook. For the participation of all students simply specify the recording date from - to and complete the process by clicking on the “Update”.

For the introduction of specific students simply select the students you want from the left column and move them to the right. The process is completed by clicking on the “Update”.

To add group students select the user groups that you want from the left column and move them to the right. The process is completed by clicking on the “Update”.

Then, once the students have been added to the rating list, you can add a number of “rated subsystems” in which the students have participated. These subsystems will define the structure of your scorecard and may be:

• Activities
• Assignments
• Exercises
• Learning Path

To add an activity, select the Add-Activity link and specify its type (written exam, lab grade, oral grade). Next, enter the title of the activity, specify the percentage of that activity's contribution to the overall grade, and whether or not the grades will be displayed to users. The process is completed by selecting the “Save” link.

To add an assignement to the gradebook, select the Add - Assignement link. From the list of existing Assignments, add the Asssignement you wish to add. At this point you should note that if the start and end date of the gradebookincludes the date of submission of the assignment, then the score of that assignment is automatically (automatically scored) inserted into that gradebook (for existing users of that gradebook).

If you wish to add an exercise to the gradebook, select the Add-Exercise link. From the list of existing exercises, add the exercise you wish to add. At this point we should note again that if the start and end date of the gradebook includes the date the exercise was performed, then the score for that exercise is automatically entered (automatic scoring) into that scorecard (for existing users of that gradebook).

To insert a learning path in the gradebook, select the Add - Learning path link. From the list of existing learning path add the learning path you wish to add.

If you wish to modify any of the original elements of the gradebook (title, start date), you can select the “Edit” link. Furthermore, to export the gradebook to an Excel file, you can export the gradebook results both per activity and per user.

To manually scoring elements of a rating (activities, tasks) simply select the gradebook initially desired and clicking on it again, select the item that you are going to rate. Here we should note that you need to specify the share of each component in the final sum which is in the form.

To make the rating click on the name you wish to use and fill in the rating. The process is completed by clicking on the “Submit” link.
