How do I add grades and feedback through the Gradebook in Blackboard? (Staff)

  1. Add column to the Gradebook
  2. Add Marks
    • If you have marks available in a spreadsheet, you can upload these to the Gradebook in one go and then go back and add individual feedback (see below).
    • If you are entering marks and feedback individually:
      • From the Gradebook click on Markable Items
      • Click on the name of the column you've created
      • Click in the Mark column for the relevant student and add the grade
      • Click Add Feedback
      • You can either type in the feedback, or click the Insert Content button (circle with a Plus) > Attachment
      • Upload the file and click Save
  3. Post marks
    • From the Gradebook click on Markable Items
    • Make sure the column is set to Visible to Students
    • Click on Post all marks
    • Click on Post all marks to confirm
