Article Summary

The grade history report allows you to view a detailed list of all grade actions taken within a course for either a specific learner, grade item, or taken by a particular trainer. 

Using the grade history report

The report can be accessed by clicking on Grades > Grade history in the Administration block on the course page. You can also select Grade history from the dropdown menu when viewing any other grade report on a course. 

You can then set a number of parameter by which to generate the report, these include:

  • Date from/date to: To only show data from a particular date range
