A workshop for faculty and staff hosted by Educational Technology, Educational Assessment, and the Writing Center featuring Katie Holt, Alicia Brazeu, and Missy Schen.
Whether you use a more “traditional” – or want to use an “alternative” approach to grading such as contract, specifications, or labor-based grading, join us for a discussion and lessons learned. We will have time for questions and examples of how to achieve various gradebook setups in Moodle. By using graded activities such as assignments and quizzes in Moodle, you can leverage features that help you and your students monitor their progress through the course.
