Grade Center Housekeeping Keep your Grade Center effective and streamlined!
The Blackboard Grade Center can be a very effective tool, when kept “clutter-free.” Follow these first steps to organize and clean out your Grade Center. 1. Hide any unused “info columns” such as User ID or Availability, by selecting “Hide Column” from the drop down menu. (The “info columns” can be identified because the only option that appears in their drop down menu is “Hide Column.”)
2. Drag your columns into a more intuitive order by selecting “Organize Grade Center” from the Manage menu and using the “hash mark” boxes on the left hand side to drag the listed columns into any order you wish. (Note: this screen will also show you any “hidden” columns that exist in your course.)
3. Remove any extra “Total” or “Weighted Total” columns by selecting “Remove Column” from the drop down menu. (Note: while Total and Weighted Total columns can always be recreated, if you have formatted or edited the column in any way, those edits will be lost once a column has been deleted.)
4. Remove any old Due Due dates from your Grade Center by modifying the column and then clicking “None” for a Due Date option.
