Summary


In this chapter we have seen the range of ways in which the gradebook can be used and customized to show the data required for both teachers and students.

Teachers can see all student grades and individual user data as well as set up groups to aid the marking and review process. Students and teachers can also see an overview of all the courses that a user is enrolled on to see the current final grade for each course.

These reports provide the main options for viewing grades. However, there are a few further customizations that can aid progress tracking. The final chapter will outline some of these options to further enable the tracking of learner progress.
