The gradebook in Moodle is a tool that is used to display students’ scores on assignments and assessments. Research studies have shown that communicating grades early and frequently can help increase students’ success (Reynolds & Friedel, 2018). In this video and blog post, I will highlight the steps taken to set up a gradebook for a course I teach.
