Blackboard’s Grade center can be an important communication tool between professors and their students. As grades are entered into your Blackboard Grade center, students’ “My 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.

Grade columns in your Grade Center are automatically created when assignments, quizzes, or other online assessments are given points possible.

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

Learn to create columns in the Grade Center with Blackboard Help’s article.
