During the span of a Course, different forms of data can be entered into the Grade Center. This can happen automatically in the case of online tests, exams, and discussion board items, or it can happen manually when the instructor, grader, or TA enters grades directly or imports them from an outside source. Grades can be changed and recalculated as assessment data is entered and an ongoing record of grade changes is kept for historical purposes. Other information about student progress can be entered as well in the form of comments.
As assessment data is collected, it can be formatted into customized printable progress reports. Assessment data can also be viewed within the Grade Center in the forms of Student Statistics and Column Statistics, giving Instructors information on Student and Grade Item performance.
