Gradebook Changes for 2011-12
More Safeguards:
- GB4 automatically saves a draft as teachers enter scores. The draft allows scores to be recovered if the teacher is unable to save scores due to a power outage, computer crash, or similar event.
- Versioning allows teachers to restore their gradebooks to an earlier saved version.
- The history of every score is saved and can be viewed at any time.
More Features:
- Drop the lowest score.
- “Go To” button for easy access to any assignment in the gradebook.
- Better interface – more details on the main spreadsheet than in Version 3.
- Percent mode displays all scores as the percent of the maximum points possible.
- Access assignment details by simply hovering over the title in the gradebook.
- Custom Student and Assignment ordering.
- Special extra credit category that works with weighting.
- Custom codes (such as “A” for absent or "M" for missing) with custom values.
- Display 10 or 15 assignment columns.
- Apply unique grade scales to individual students.
- Change the max points possible on an assignment for single students.
