Workshop Description

In this Faculty Workshop, participants will read and view tutorials to assist them in setting up Gradebooks in their Moodle classrooms and be guided through skill-building activities to gain familiarity with Moodle Gradebook settings and display options. Participants will complete this training by making modifications to one or more Moodle Gradebooks, sharing evidence of those changes, and reporting their knowledge gains. 

Pre-requisites: To complete the work required in this workshop, a participant will need to be able to access and work within an archived or current Moodle course in progress (with students).

Recommended but optional, some of the activities in this Workshop may also be completed in an archived Moodle course (which contains a group of students and their graded activities).
