Identify Components of the Full Grade Center

There are several components of the Grade Center that will be covered in-depth in this module, but the following components are some of the basics:

Grade Center Row - Corresponds to a student enrolled in your course.
Grade Center Column - Represents a graded assessment.
Grade Center Cell - The intersection of a column and row. Represents a grade for a single student on a single assessment.
Create Column - Used to manually create a Grade Center column. To include the score in Blackboard for any assignment that is submitted outside of Blackboard, you will need to create a manual column.
Create Calculated Column - Used to create total columns (adding the points of other columns), weighted total columns (when using weighted grades), or columns that will calculate an average.
Manage - This button has several options, the most-used option is Column Organization, which can be used to reorder columns. If you are using weighted grades, you can also assign your columns to different categories.
Reports - Run reports of student grades.
Filter - Temporarily change which view or category of assessments displays in the Grade Center.
Work Offline - Download or upload a spreadsheet of your students' grades.
Email - Email select students directly from the Grade Center.
Icon Legend - Shows what the different icons in the Grade Center mean.
Edit Rows Displayed - Temporarily change the number of rows displayed on a page. If you have a large number of students in your class, this can help keep you from scrolling as much.
