Moodle is a computer program that allows you to easily mark work and record grades.
Moodle is an excellent tool that allows teachers and students to access relevant information about their classes, see test results and communicate with each other. The gradebook feature allows teachers to share grade information with students. A gradebook must be properly set up, however, to ensure that grades are accurately recorded and students' privacy is maintained.
Instructions
1. Log into your course on Moodle, and find the "Administration" box. This is usually located on the right side of the screen, but can be moved around.
2. Select "Groups." This will launch a window showing all the pre-set groups, and who is a member of each one.
3. Click "Create Group" and write a name in the "Group Name" box. The name of the class as it appears on a timetable is a good idea, and will ensure you remember it.
4. Type an "Enrollment Key" into the relevant box. If you would like to check your spelling, check the "Unmask" box, which will make your password visible. Save the changes.
5. Click "Grades" in the "Administration" box. This should launch a window, and a pop up.
6. Select "Scales." Although different versions of Moodle have different gradebooks, the "Scales" option remains the same, and should be located on the left side, underneath "Edit."
7. Select "Add a new Scale." You will be prompted to give your scale a name, such as the test name, or the date and year. Fill in the name.
8. Type the possible marks into the large "Scale" box. For example, this could be "pass, merit, distinction." All grades need to be separated by a comma, so Moodle recognizes each individual grade.
9. Type a description in the description box if necessary, such as the date and time of the test. Click "Save."
