Customizing Your Canvas Gradebook

The Gradebook helps instructors easily input and distribute grades for students. Grades for each assignment can be calculated as points, percentages, complete or incomplete, pass or fail, GPA scale, and letter grades, and assignments can be organized into groups for weighting as well. To customize the look and layout of your gradebook, the following options are available:

• 
  
  • 
    
    • Location of the Total Score - By default, this appears as the last column. Select the drop-down to move the Total column to the front of the gradebook.
    • Arrangement - Options include by assignment name, due date, points, or module.
    • Filters - Filter columns by sections, modules, assignment groups, student groups, status, submissions, or date.
    • Statuses - Customize the color-coding of assignments that are submitted late, are missing, dropped, and excused.
    • Columns - Add notes that only those with grading permissions can view. Choose to show or hide this notes column as well as the unpublished assignments column.
    • Hide Totals - If using another grading program and your gradebooks do not match, consider hiding the totals to avoid confusion.

Gradebook History

View the history of all gradebook changes in your course using the Gradebook History page. Gradebook History is a read-only log of changes made to the gradebook, including: who graded each artifact as well as historical data for graded assignments. 

To access the Gradebook History, select Gradebook History from the Gradebook drop-down.

The Gradebook History Page displays recent grade changes in the course. Each grade change lists the date of the change, the student whose grade was changed, the grader who changed the grade, and the artifact where the grade was changed. Additionally, the grade before it was changed, after it was changed, and the current grade for the assignment are also displayed.
