You can perform a Gradebook search for class grades.

  • View an overview of activity data
  • View the details of a student's grade and responses

Perform a Gradebook search

To perform a Gradebook search to view class grades:

NOTE: When it comes to viewing and managing student grades on Möbius activities, you always have to first perform a Gradebook search as described in this help topic. This provides Gradebook search results as per your defined search parameters (Example — searching for all student grades for a specific activity from a specific class, or searching for the grade of a specific student on a specific activity, etc.). From these search results, you can then proceed to perform a range of more specific Gradebook tasks.

  1. Click Gradebook on the Class Homepage.

The Gradebook menu is the fourth menu option of the main Möbius navigational menu on the Class Homepage.

  1. Click Class Grades.

The class grades menu option is the first option in the gradebook menu.

  1. Select the unit where the activity of interest is stored from the Units list.

Units are listed in the Units menu under the Select Lesson and Assignments heading.

NOTE: (C) Progress status is identified using one of the following progress icons:

  • Completed and not passedA red x in a red circle.The student doesn't meet the minimum requirements to complete the activity or the student's attempt has been submitted but they didn't meet the minimum requirements to be considered as passed.
  • Completed and passedComplete Status icon The student's attempt has been submitted and they have passed or the attempt could be awaiting manual grading.
  • In progressIn Progress Status icon The student's attempt is underway and hasn't yet been submitted.
  • Not yet attempted (no icon) — The student hasn't yet started their attempt.

Sample gradebook search results showing the different progress icons in the progress column.

The email column heading is highlighted in the gradebook results table to show it was clicked and caused results to be reordered in ascneding alphabetical order in the results table.

The search button at the bottom of the results page is highlighted.

TIP: You can export the displayed class grades as a CSV (.csv) file by clicking Export to CSV.

The export to csv button is after the search button at the bottom of the page.

TIP: If you modify a search parameter (Example — you selected a different class at step 4) or a display option (Example — you decide to include student ID from step 6) after clicking Search, simply click Search again to refresh the class grades results with your changes and then continue to the Work with Gradebook search results section of this help topic .

Work with Gradebook search results

You can then work with your Gradebook search results (achieved from the Perform a Gradebook search section of this help topic) to perform a range of Gradebook tasks:

Item statistics

Click Item Statistics to be navigated directly to the Item Statistics page of the Gradebook.

This link contains the statistical calculations for all of the content contained within the activity you've selected to use in your Gradebook search.

Check out View item statistics.

The item statistics link is above the gradebook search results table.

Student attempt overview

Click a student's user data value (Example — given name, last name, email, etc.) within a data row for an overview of the student's attempt and attempt history.

Check out View student attempt overview.

Student names in the results table can be clicked.

Activity Gradebook data

Click on an activity name to view the activity's overall data and the grades achieved by your students on individual questions contained within the selected activity.

Check out View activity Gradebook data.

The name of the activity in the gradebook results table is highlighted.

TIP: Clicking on an activity name will also reveal access to the new Activity Grading View of the Grade Manager that you can use for manual grading. Check out Access the Activity Grading View.

A purple button named manually grade this activity appears above the grade data when the activity name is clicked.

Student grade details

Click on a student's grade to be navigated to view the details of that specific student's attempt.

Check out View student grade details.

A student grade is highlighted in the gradebook results table.

NOTE: If a student's grade is represented with a dash, it means that they don't have an attempt that satisfies your search criteria and you won't be able to view their grade details (Example — if you selected the progress status of In Progress during your Gradebook search, but a student has either already submitted their attempt or has not yet started it, they won't have a result displayed in the results table).

The gradebook search results table shows no progress icon and a dash for grades and total.

TIP: An assignment that requires manual grading won't display an accurate grade in the Grade column since it's pending your review. As well, the Completed and passed iconComplete Status iconwill be displayed even though it still requires manual grading. It's best practice to select To Be Reviewed from the Progress drop-down list during your Gradebook search so that you'll know that the results you're viewing require manual grading. Clicking on a student's achieved grade (even if it's not yet fully graded) navigates you to view that student's specific grade details so that you can perform traditional manual grading. Check out Perform manual grading for help with the manual grading icons and controls when performing this type of traditional manual grading.

A sample gradebook search results table showing complete and passed icons and a grade of 0.

You can alternatively perform manual grading with the new Activity Grading View of the Grade Manager. Check out Access the Activity Grading View.
