Customizing Grading Scheme

By default, EduBrite has a default grading implementation which may or may not suffice your needs. If you like to customize the grading scheme for your courses, hers is how you can do it. We'll cover one example to explain the steps required. 

 

Step1: Open the course session settings, and enable the grading option in the course session

 

Step2: Click on the Grades button on course session details, and check the current grading scheme. You will see it is using default scheme. Click on Edit Grading Scheme

 

Step3: You will see the grading scheme has been overridden now, click on Edit Grading Scheme button. If you want to undo the overriding click on Reset button.

 

 

Step 4: The edit grading page remains disabled till the scheme is in Active state. Click on Deactivate to begin editing it.

 

Step5: Once you deactive, all fields will become editable again, for this example we want to make the grading to consider only quiz scores, so let's make Lesson_Read categorie's weight equal to zero, and change the weight of Quiz_Completed category to 100 (percent). And finally click on Activate button again

 

Step6: Now we are pretty much done, except if you have some learners in the course session, who have their grades already computed, you can re-apply the grading rule to have their scores recalculated. Open the Grades list page for the corse session, here you can click on Apply Grading Rule link in the sidebar, to re-apply rule on all learners (except those who have already awarded the course session, which you would see by the presence of a ribbon icon). If you want to apply rule on awarded learners as well, click on the Apply Rule link for the specific learner.

 

Re-using the same grading scheme for other course sessions

While editing the course session, you will have option to reuse the newly created scheme in other course sessions in the same group. Grading schemes can be created beforehand as well, by going to the Grading Scheme list page which shows all schemes available in a microsite.
