I have given a paper test but I want to add the grade to Blackboard. How do I add an item to the gradebook?
go CONTROL PANEL go to GRADEBOOK Look at the top menu and click ADD ITEM. In Area 1 (Item Information), Type in an Item Name (name for the grade column in the Gradebook)(**MANDATORY) The next settings are optional. Category is the “type” of item you are adding (assignment, final exam, test, etc.) (Default is ASSIGNMENT.) Description – you can give a description of the item here. Date – date of the item Points Possible – the total points possible for the item. Display – you can display the grade as SCORE (default), PERCENTAGE, LETTER, COMPLETE/INCOMPLETE, and TEXT. Area 2 (Options) Make item available to users – this makes the item available to the students and allows each student to see his/her grade only. Include item in Gradebook score calculations – this tell Blackboard to include the values in this items to be added to the overall calculation for the course. When done, click SUBMIT.
