This article is intended for faculty and staff who want to create additional columns in their Grade Center on Blackboard. Instructors can create columns when adding something to the curriculum that they wish to grade. Certain tools, such as the items under Assessments, automatically create their own columns, and therefore columns should not be manually created for these items.
Creating Columns in Grade Center
View Instructions
- Access the Grade Center.
- Go to your Control Panel on the left hand side.
- Look under Course Management.
- Select Grade Center.
- Select Full Grade Center.
- In the top left corner of Full Grade Center, select Create Column to add a column that can display manually entered scores or text.
- Alternatively, you can select Create Calculated Column to add a column that will use existing columns in the Grade Center to compute an Average, Weighted, Average, Total, or find the Maximum/Minimum value.
- Enter the required information.
- For all column types, a Course Name must be entered. This is the name that the students will see when looking at their grades in My Grades.
A Grade Center Name is generally not advised as it makes it more difficult to compare the student view to the instructor view of column names.
There is also a Description Field. Text entered here will appear under the column title in My Grades, but students need to click on a down arrow to Expand Grade Details in order to see it.
- Edit your Display Settings and your Column Settings.
- For more information about Display Settings and Column Settings, review the below section, Display and Column Settings.
