In this blogpost we\u2019ll be taking a specific look at the Gradebook feature in Blackboard Learn Ultra. The Gradebook is the new name for Grade Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is used to hold all student marks on a Blackboard Course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gradebook is located on every course from the top menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ultra<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Students enrolled on the module automatically appear in the Gradebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you get into the gradebook, you can toggle your view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Default is a list of markable items on one tab and students on another:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"List<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can toggle your view so that you can see the markable items and the students in one view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Grid<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Automatically created columns<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

As with Blackboard Original, some columns are automatically created in the Gradebook:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Turnitin Assignments<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Blackboard Assignments<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Blackboard Tests<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Graded Discussions<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Graded Journals<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    You don\u2019t need to do anything with these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For outstanding items that have been submitted and are waiting to be marked, you can view the Marking Status:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Marking<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Total column and Overall Mark<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    Unlike Blackboard Original, a Total Column is not created by default in Blackboard Learn Ultra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can, however, set up an overall mark if you wish but this is done manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The overall mark is a calculated item displaying as a running tally across all the graded items on a course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The overall mark, if set up, is visible to students to track their progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To set up an overall mark, select the settings cog in the Gradebook:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Gradebook<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Select Set up Overall Mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can use Points, created a Weighted column, or use an Advanced formula to create a bespoke calculation for the overall mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Manually created columns<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    As before, you still have the ability to create columns manually. These columns can be used to record marks and feedback for assignments not submitted electronically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These might be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
