Grading Software

Using Moodle as an electronic gradebook-- Each Moodle course  shell has a gradebook that you can use to post grades.  Though the gradebook is not as robust as Micrograde or Excel, it can and is used as a gradebook for many online and on campus classes.  The FRC also offers small group workshops for  those teachers interested in using Moodle as a gradebook.  The schedule for workshops can be found in the professional development catalog. Finally, you can also make an appointment with FRC staff for help in setting up your gradebook.

Using MicroGrade & Webgrade to create an electronic gradebook-- Micrograde is a grading application designed to help you quickly set up a gradebook on your computer. Webgrade is a service that allows you to upload your Micrograde class scores and make them available to your students on the WWW.

SBCC provides licenses for teachers interested in using Micrograde. You are allowed 2 licenses to download.  One for work and one for home.  Contact Laurie Vasquez at vasquez@sbcc.edu or X2724 for software download information.   IMPORTANT: If you get a new campus computer or leave the college, then please deactivate your MicroGrade license.  Contact Chariot Software with your contact info and let them know you will no longer be using your old license.

Note: Macintosh users switching to a new Intel-based mac must get a different copy of MicroGrade and consequently, get a new different license.
