The Grid

The Grid - Desktop Version

The Grid - Mobile Version

Class Selection

You can choose the overall top level class from the available classes based on your account.

Class Selection - Sub Classes in a Combined

Classes can be Combined to have multiple groups of students, or multiple subjects for the same students, displayed on the same grid.

In this case, the Indigenous Narratives course is combined with another class and the combined is called "CombinedSuper". Inside this Combined Class, you can choose any of the sub classes

The Control Strip

These controls perform overall functions for the gradebook grid:

Class Refresh - In order to update your student list from the source system (in case there's a change that hasn't automatically been applied) you can hit the green refresh button to apply the drops and adds as required.
Add Entry - This allows you to add an Entry (Assigning/test, etc) to the Grid for this class.
Keyboard / Touch control - This control indicates whether you are using a touch device or a keyboard device. it will automatically set itself based on the browser's capability to sense touch abilities, however, in the case of a smart board or an all-in-one computer, it is sensed as a keyboard device. You can manually change this here to gain access to the touch interface

Updating marks - Desktop Version

The Keyboard controls allow navigation across the grid:

tab moves right
shift/tab moves left
enter moves down

The drop-down fields can be access through the keyboard. For example, if you have an entry that is of Letter grade type, you can navigate to the cell and enter "3", "3", "3" to get to the third "3" item - 3-.

Updating Marks - Touch/Mobile

When clicking on an Entry cell in the grid in Touch mode, a controller module is loaded with on-screen entry.

The on-screen entry differs based on the entry type chosen for the entry (Letter Grades, EGSN, Levels, or Out Of).

The on-screen entry panel allows for navigation between entries across the top and between students vertically on the left side.

Mobile - Saving Space

In order to conserve space for editing, the names of students and the visibility of the student's average is altered for the portrait view on a mobile form-factor. Rotating the screen will expose full names as well as the average.

Entry Editing - Single Entry

Clicking on the title bar of the grid column for an Entry returns a panel to edit details.

Entry name, date, and Containers can be edited, along with their grade type, weighting and out of values.

The Red X allows for deletion of the Entry. It can be recovered from the Maintain Class Menu.

Entry Editing - Multi-Entry

If an entry has multiple categories, additional elements are available:

Single-Entry / Multiple Entry - If you have an Entry that has multiple containers, it's possible to set it up as a single entry - single entry type, single Out Of, but weightings applied to multiple containers. This example shows a Multi-Entry.
- NOTE: If student grades exist in the multiple containers already, you cannot switch to Single Entry mode.
Label - if not provided, the Container short name will be used
Entry Containers can be deleted. The 'X' at the left side of the row will mark the container as deleted from the entry and all associated marks will be ignored in mark calculation.
- NOTE: Deleted Containers can be recovered from the same screen.

Multi-Container, Single-Entry Example

In this case, although the entry is in 3 containers, there is only one column to enter in the grid:
