Grading Discussions

Grading Discussions is the task of assigning a grade to your students' contribution to a graded discussion board. Your students post their own responses to your prompts and then reply to classmates. You grade your students using the all too familiar tools, Gradebook and SpeedGrader.

Grading Discussions using Gradebook and Speedgrader allows you to effectively and efficiently grade your students' contribution to a discussion board. You can enter grades and provide written and audio comments (Markups are not a feature.). Your students can see their grades and review your feedback, so they can keep track of how they are doing.

Grading Discussions using SpeedGrader gives you another valuable sorting feature. SpeedGrader allows you to view each student's contribution individually and in the context of the full discussion.

Grade a Discussion by selecting it from the Modules. Use Gradebook and Speedgrader to enter grades and provide feedback.
