Blackboard Advanced: Grade Center The Grade Center in Blackboard can be the most challenging component of your course. This training will review the basic set up of a points-based versus percentage-based (weighted) grade center, as well as how to grade discussions, assignments, and essay/short answer assignments and ensure that these grades are accurately presented in the grade center. Training will also include higher-order uses of the grade center not covered in the original Blackboard 1-2-3 Training series such as creating columns for activities completed in the classroom, reorganizing, hiding and displaying columns, creating average columns for each category and assigning extra credit.
