Blackboard’s Gradebook can be an important communication tool between professors and their students. As grades are entered into your Blackboard Gradebook, students’ “Grades” areas are updated as well.

By providing a centralized location for students to access their grades, Blackboard helps students monitor their progress throughout the semester. This can enable professors and students to circumvent grading errors, note missing work, and communicate more productively about course matters.

Gradable items in your Gradebook are automatically created when assignments, quizzes, or other online assessments are given points possible.

However, gradable items can also be created individually within the Gradebook. You may want to create these items for assignments students turn in during class, in-class exams, attendance points, or class participation.

Learn to create gradable items in the Gradebook with Blackboard Help’s article.
