How can we enable letter grades rather than points in Assignments?
We have tried creating a letter grade scheme in the Grades tool. This doesn't seem to impact the "Grade Out Of" field when creating a new Assignment. How can teachers change the field that says Points to reflect the letter grade scheme instead? I should note that our district uses 3 different assessment scales (elementary…

We'd like to have multiple evaluators score an assignment against the same rubric, but only recognize one rubric score in the gradebook. Is that possible?
Oldest to Newest Self-Marking Quizzes

They are listed under "Activities", but that doesn't have a submission date listed. Even though they are self-marking quizzes, I always follow up with students who…
