How To Use the Gradebook

Student survey responses and quiz grades are organized in the Gradebook. You may view the data online or print out a copy for reference. You can also download and save the data for later use in a spreadsheet program such as MS Excel.

Here is the Gradebook's main features:

View results

To access Gradebook content > Control Panel > Assessment > Gradebook
For survey and quiz results, view the Gradebook Spreadsheet (Fig 1)

From the Gradebook Spreadsheet view, you can download and save an assessment's responses as a comma-delimited file for use in a spreadsheet program. (Fig 4)

Select Download Grades
Click Download and select where to save the Gradebook file. Downloading an assessment's data doesn't remove any information from the Gradebook in Blackboard
The results of a survey can be downloaded for statistical analysis. Analysis is done through another application. Only the results of Multiple Choice and True / False questions are included in a results download because these questions have a limited set of defined answers.
This file can be uploaded to a Gradebook in Blackboard at a later date.

rearrange the Gradebook

From the Control Panel, Assessments > Select "Gradebook" > Select "Manage Items" (Fig 5)
