TLC: Get With It! Learn Sakai’s New Gradebook (Before the Old One Goes Away)

Presented by Karen McPhaul, Senior Director, Instructional Technologies
Registration Required: http://training.durhamtech.edu
Note Location: White Building, 1-142
Pre-requisite: Completion of Intro to Sakai workshop or experience using Sakai as an instructor

Currently Sakai has two gradebooks: the older “Gradebook Classic” (which has been there since the start) and the newer “Gradebook” (introduced in December 2016). Gradebook Classic will be retired in May 2019, leaving the newer Gradebook as your only option for Summer 2019 forward. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to start learning about the newer Gradebook and trying it out, so you’ll be ready when the change comes. This hands-on workshop will cover all of the basic and some of the advanced functions of the newer Gradebook, including how to set up the Gradebook to calculate final grades, how to add Gradebook items and enter grades and comments, various ways to view students’ grades, how other tools interact with the Gradebook, and more. You’ll also learn some common Gradebook “gotchas” and how to avoid them. And we’ll discuss how you can use both Gradebooks simultaneously in Spring semester, as you transition to the newer one for good!
