    Using grade outcomes


    Article Summary

    Once you have set up at least one outcome then you can start to use these for grading within activities on your course.

    Enabling outcomes

    To do this you will need to go into each individual activity and enable outcomes in the activity settings.

    1. Edit the settings for an activity.
    2. Under the Outcomes section tick the outcomes you wish to use - you can select multiple.
    3. Click Save changes.  

    Grading with outcomes

    Once you have enabled outcomes for a particular activity (see above) you can then grade work with them. How this is done depends on the particular activity you are grading.

    • Inbuilt grading: Some activities such as assignments have inbuilt grading, so you can select the desired outcome from a dropdown menu when grading work through the activity.
    • Gradebook grading: If an activity does not have inbuilt outcome grading or you just find it easier you can grade outcomes via the gradebook. Access the single view report for that outcome grade item and then use the dropdown next to each learner's name to set their outcomes.  

    Setting learner outcomes via the single view report in the gradebook.
