Hello,
I give a daily participation grade to each student, so I want to be able to use the attendance feature to assign grades other than "on time" and "late" and "absent." Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
Hi @ibrown3,
The attendance tool really is made only for tracking attendance, and not so much participation (but I can totally see where tracking participation would be useful too). I think the best you'd be able to do currently for participation is to have a "no submission" assignment (or multiple of these) created to award participation points. It may not be the prettiest thing in the gradebook if you want a separate assignment each day though. I know some people create one assignment, and then use the rubrics feature to track participation through multiple weeks (a "week 1" criterion, then a "week 2" one, etc). Do you think that may work for you? If so, I can provide some guides if you need them. Just let us know!

With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
