By Max Halla

For EDU 623 Dr. Steve Moskowitz

First, we will learn how to setup the Gradebook for percentages of the year.

Initial Setup of Gradebook

STEP ONE

Each class must be set up individually following the instructions below:

1. Open your gradebook and highlight the full year class you are configuring on the left side of the screen

2. Click the Grade Book Setup tab to open the reporting term

3. Double click Y1 under reporting term

Proceed to the next slide once everyone has completed the task. Presenter will be watching everyone’s progress on the Vision software, which

provides a thumbnail for each screen in the computer lab. The thumbnail can be opened and the given trainee’s screen can be controlled by the

trainer as necessary.

a. Calculate Y1 final grade using: (Select) Term weights

5. The term buckets will appear after selecting term weights. Click S1 and enter the following weights

a. Q1 = 20

b. Q2 = 20

c. E1 = 10

6. Click to expand S2 at the bottom portion of the screen and choose the following weights:

a. Q3 = 20

b. Q4 = 20

c. E2 = 10

7. Click Save IMPORTANT!! Do not close the semesters by clicking on the arrows or the percent will recalculate to an even value after hitting “Save”. If you do

this repeat steps 2-5 to restore the settings. Reporting terms should remain open at all times as they appear in the screen shot below

Proceed to the next slide once everyone has completed the task without error.

e. Click “SAVE”

Do not proceed until all trainees have completed the following without error.

a. Calculate S2 final grade using = Term weights

Once the weights have been established and gradebook has

been properly setup, you need to begin creating assignments

for your classes.

Creating Assignments 1

The assignments that can be created are tests, homework, quizzes, etc. One assignment will need to be created by each trainee before moving on.

Proceed to the next slide once everyone has created an assignment specific to their class.

Slide #5

Onscreen Content

Detailed Script


For the assignment that was created, you must enter a grade below where the

assignment is, similar to a spread sheet, the fill scores is a right click option in

which you can enter the same grade for all of the students that do not have a

grade entered yet. They may be every student for the class if no grades have

been entered yet for that assignment.

Entering Grades

This is the next logical step. The gradebook has been setup and we are ready to move onto entering grades for the assignment we created. We cannot enter

grades until an assignment has been created.

Again, proceed to next slide once all trainees have successfully entered a grade on their own and without error.

Slide #6

To enter comments, select the show score inspector option. This will open

another window that will allow you to enter comments.

Enter Comments 1

This is a requirement from administration that all teachers must enter comments for all grades receiving a D or F. We needed to create the assignment, enter a

grade for it, and now we will learn to enter comments on student performance.

The trainees will follow the screen shots and follow instructions provided by the trainer.

Slide #7

Detailed Script


This is the screen that will pop up when the enter comments section is

selected. The trainer will then demonstrate how to pick from stock comments

and how to enter original comments. Either way is acceptable to

administration.

Enter Comments 2

This is the final piece of the training. Again, we needed to go step by step to get to this point. You cannot enter a comment if no grade has been entered or an

assignment created.

Once everything looks acceptable, proceed to the next slide.

Slide #8

This time will be used to ensure everyone is familiar with the process and

provide time for a question-and-answer session.

Final Check

The trainer asks for questions and double checks everyone’s work to ensure that everyone has been successful.

Do not pass out evaluations until everyone has completed all tasks.

Slide #9

Trainees will be provided with a short survey to evaluate the performance of

the training program.

Evaluation of Training

Once the training is complete, some evaluation and honest feedback on the training would be appreciated. The survey will answer whether or not the survey was

successful in meeting its objectives.

The training is now complete and all trainees will be able to setup the gradebook, create assignments, enter grades and comments on their students’

performances.
