The 5 Days of Brightspace Gradebook: Day 3

Categorize Using the Bulk Edit Tool! 

Welcome to Day 3 of the 5 days of Brightspace gradebook! This week we will run a series of simple tasks that you can do to check your gradebook to make sure it is functioning properly and matches your Course Information Sheet.  

The third tip is to use the bulk edit option to categorize your assignments. 

  1. You can find this from the Grade Center on the navbar 
  2. Then click on the Grades tab. 
  3. Go to the Manage Grades tab.  
  4. Select all assignments and click on the bulk edit tool which can quickly help you categorize assignments.  
  5. See the video: Using Bulk Edit to Move Items into Categories (Video, 2 min) 

Tip: If you have a hard time letting assignments go or are afraid to delete them, you can create an “unused/delete category” and store extra assignments in this category with a weight of "0".  See: How to Add new Items or Category (Video: 2 min) 

Gradebooks are unique to each course, so if you need help, reach out to the Virtual Campus Team during drop-in hours over zoom. See our support hours and zoom link.  

Stay tuned for Day 4 tips!
