Grade syncing and grading options
Grade syncing is enabled in Brightspace and your grades from Bongo are delivered to your Learning Management System (LMS) grade book.
The grading options are:
- Grade Entry - This is a percentage grade. Use a value between 1-100 when entering a grade. The value you enter represents a percentage that is used to assign points in the LMS grade book based on the maximum points entered in the LMS. For example, if a learner receives a 90% grade, then enter 90, and if a learner receives a 75% grade, then enter 75.
- Educator Ratings - This is a 5-star rating system and each star is worth 20 points. For example, if you give a learner 4 stars, then 80 points are delivered to the LMS grade book.
- Pass/Fail and Completed/Not Completed - These grading options deliver a 0 or 100 grade to the LMS grade book.
Auto Analysis™ for Individual Assignments
If your organization offers the premium version of Video Assignments, you can use the Auto Analysis™ tool reports on learner submissions as part of your evaluation. For more information, refer to the Auto Analysis™ and PhraseGen Overview support page.
