Gradebook: Make Graded Items Visible to Students

Depending on the initial setup of a graded item, grades for that item are not necessarily visible to students right away. Even after you have entered grades for a graded item or they have been imported from another tool, it is often still necessary to manually make the grades visible to students.

If you are unsure of what a student is able to see on their end, you can view their personal Gradebook page.

 

How to Make Graded Items Visible...

There are a couple ways you can make the scores of a graded item visible to students in the course: 1) via the Gradebook Setup view, or 2) via the Enter Grades view.

Via the Gradebook Setup View

1. Click Set Up Gradebook on any page in the Gradebook.
2. Click Edit next to the graded item you want to make visible.
3. Click the checkbox for Display grade in student view.
4. Click Save.

Via the Enter Grades View

1. Click Enter Grades on any page in the Gradebook.
2. Click on the title of the graded item you want to make visible.
3. Click the Display Grades checkbox in the upper left corner of the page.

How to Show/Hide the Grade for Specific Students

You may occasionally need to make a specific graded item visible to one student or a specific set of students. Conversely, you may need to hide grades from one student or a set of students after making them visible to others.

1. Click Enter Grades on any page in the Gradebook.
2. Click on the title of the graded item you want to make changes to.
3. If you wish to show a student their grade, click the gray eye icon next to the student's name, which will turn it blue.
4. If you wish to hide the grade from a student, click the blue eye icon next to the student's name, which will turn it gray.
