Grades Journey v2

Exporting grades can be challenging. Some systems need one or more approvals before sending grades to a student information system (SIS), while others need to export grades automatically without any manual steps. Sometimes, multiple grade extractions need to happen at the same time. Grades Journey can enhance your institution’s automated grade export and content provisioning workflows by providing for flexible grading processes and handling multiple grade extractions. It simplifies and streamlines the grade export process within your existing Blackboard LMS system.

With Grades Journey, you can

  • automate the grades exchange between the SIS and the LMS

  • create a grading workflow based on instructor or grader approval with grades transferred to the SIS on an administrator-configured schedule

  • automate the grade extract workflow with no need for instructor interaction or approval

  • manage multiple grade extraction processes that use course and grade column filters to select the grades to be extracted rather than an approval workflow

  • create or update content items based on metadata from the course to column level

  • add a submitter role and customize approval workflows

  • provide feedback and comments to learners

Note

Blackboard is committed to delivering a market-leading Learning Management System of the highest quality and security. Feature areas are periodically evaluated to determine their suitability to support our customers’ academic goals. During a recent evaluation, we made the decision to retire the older version of the Grades Journey feature that has been replaced by a newer version. Institutions using the older version 1 should upgrade to version 2. Version 1 will only be available until January 31, 2027. Refer to Migrate from Grade Export v1 to Grade Export v2 for information about migration to version 2.
