How to Add Gradebook Items and Categories

The PlutoLMS gradebook is a digital tool used by educators to record and track learners'  progress and performance.

The gradebook functions as a central repository for storing and managing learners' grades, assignments, assessments, and other relevant data. It allows teachers to input and calculate grades, generate progress reports, and provide valuable feedback to learners.

Manual Grade Items

Manual grade items are useful if you want to track offline events such as training completed prior to using PlutoLMS, in-person events, presentations or anything else that is not tracked online.

Step 1: To add a manual grade item, in the "Gradebook setup" tab, click on "Add grade item."

Step 2: Define your grade item, then click on "Save changes." After saving, your new manual grade item will be displayed in your gradebook.

Step 3: You can now easily grade learners in the "Single view" tab.

Step 4: Select your grade item and enter your learners' grades and optional feedback.

Step 5: Once you're happy, you can click on "Save."

*Note: If you have large amounts of data, you can Bulk Import Grades.

Add Gradebook Category

Step 1: To add a gradebook category, in the "Gradebook setup" tab, click on "Add category."  

Step 2: Add a category name and optionally define the category settings, then click "Save changes."

Step 3: Once a gradebook category is created, you can move any grade item into that category by clicking on the move icon next to the item you want to move.

After clicking on the move icon next to the gradebook item, that item becomes "mobile" and you can click on any of the boxes to move it into that box.

Once complete, your activity will be moved.
