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 regularly offers small group workshops early in the semester for  those teachers interested in using Moodle as a gradebook.  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 has a limited-seat license for teachers interested in using Micrograde. Contact Laurie Vasquez at vasquez@sbcc.edu or X2724 for download information. Laurie Vasquez provides small group training during the semester for teachers interested in using Micrograde/Webgrade.
