Maximize Your Gradebook: A Blackboard Ultra Workshop
Customize Gradebook Categories & the Overall Grade
Are your students aware of their progress in your class? The Ultra Gradebook's Overall Grade display can help students monitor their progress. With the new total calculation columns, you can tailor gradebook views and refine the Overall Grade calculation. Custom category creation and category assignments also support accurate Overall Grade calculations.
Join this hands-on workshop to configure your Ultra gradebook. In this session, we'll focus on the following gradebook tasks:
- Configure the Overall Grade
- Create gradebook categories
- Create total calculation columns
This session will be facilitated by Josh Abrams, Instructional Design Specialist, and Dr. Ben Amudzi, Instructional Technology Specialist.
NOTE: This session will not be recorded due to the personalized nature of the content and support.
