Using the More Options button when adding an assessment to the Gradebook enables you to attribute a Project. This is a great way to "group" your assessments together. Displayed on the screen are a list of projects, a calculated average grade for each project and a colour code to show you how each learner is performing.

Let's look at how to use the Projects screen.

Click the View and Edit button in the Gradebook and then click the Projects option from the menu. This is located under the Assessments section.

This displays the Projects screen. You see the list of learners on the left and a list of projects across the top. Each cell contains the average grade of all assessments within a project and is colour coded to show how the learner performed. You can click on a cell to see more details of the assessments.

The list of projects across the top of the screen displays the name of the project along with the class average for all assessments in each project. Since you can have multiple assessments for a project, the average is all assessments within each project.

Each project column represents the learner's average grade for all assessments in each project. The default colour assigned to each cell is determined if the learner was above or below the class average grade for the project (displayed under the details of the project column heading).

You can click on a learner grade to display more details about the learner and the assessments in each project.

The list of projects displayed on the screen is determined by the Timeframe filters. You can also change the view if you would like to view a list of assessments.

The Timeframe filters allow you to view projects for a given time period. The default timeframe is This Year. The Timeframe filters are always located under the navigation buttons on the right-hand side of the screen.

The selected Timeframe is indicated by a red underline and bolded text. To change a timeframe simply click on it.

There are two ways to view the Projects screen. The default view is the Grid View and the second view is List View. You can toggle between the views using the relevant button located next to the main navigation at the top of the screen.

The List View displays a list of assessments and the associated project. You also see the details of the assessment.

The Assessment filter enables you to filter by the type of assessment when you are in List View. The default option is to view all assessment types.

You can filter by assignments, task/activity or schoolwork.

You can print or export all of the View and Edit screens in the Gradebook. Click on the Print button to view the options. The print to PDF generates a report based on the options you selected on the screen (timeframe, filter and options) and downloads the file to your device.

The export to a file option generates a CSV file (spreadsheet) which you can open with Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
