Manage Gradebook Items

Once an item is in your gradebook, you can send a reminder, edit it, view statistics, delete it, or reorder it.

Send a reminder

Send a reminder to students or groups who haven't submitted an item yet. The item must be visible with no release conditions, and this can't be used for manually created columns.

Reminders are sent as a blind carbon copy (BCC) course message, and you receive a copy too. If course messages are turned off, reminders send as email. For anonymous grading, reminders always send by email to preserve anonymity.

  1. In the grid view, select the item title (the column header).

  2. In the Assessment Details panel, select the bell icon. The bell icon won't display if there aren't students who need to submit a submission.
