Question panes in the traditional Gradebook allow you to perform a range of grading-related tasks beyond just viewing your student's response and grade for a specific question.
You'll have access to these Question pane functions after you've performed a Gradebook search (check out Search for class grades) and selected a specific student's attempt to view (check out View student grade details).
The grading tasks that you can perform from a Question pane are:
Preview the question
View the grading history
Edit the question's overall grade
Bulk edit the overall grade for multiple questions
Edit the question's part grade
Regrade a question
Add a grading comment
Preview the question
Click the preview icon to view and trial the question that was seen by your student.
View the grading history
Click the view grade history icon to view the historical changes to the student's grade.
The grade history data table displays:
Date Modified — Date and time stamp of when the grade editing event occurred.
Grade — Grade value awarded at the time stamp of A.
User — Username (login) of the user who edited the grade.
Note — Summary statement of why the grade was edited.
Close — Click Close to exit the grade history and return to the Gradebook.
Edit the question's overall grade
To edit the overall grade that the student has been awarded for the question as a whole:
Click the edit question grade icon to edit the student's overall grade for the question.
Manually enter the grade between 0 and 1 that you want to assign the student for this question (Example — if the question that you're manually entering a grade for is out of 4.0 marks total and you want your student's grade to be 3/4.0, then enter 0.75).
(Optional) You can chose to also enter a comment that will only be visible in the grade history (which isn't visible to students).
Click the save grade icon to update the student's overall grade.
Bulk edit the overall grade for multiple questions
To bulk edit a single student's overall grades for multiple questions simultaneously within an activity:
Select the check boxes of the questions within the student's attempt that you want to edit in bulk.
Manually enter a grade between 0 and 1 that you want to assign to the selected questions (Example — enter 0.5 if you want all of the questions that you're editing in bulk to be awarded a grade equivalent to 50%).
Click Update Grades.
The overall grade field autofills with your manually entered bulk grade value for each selected question.
Click Save Question Grades to finalize the bulk grade editing.
All of the selected questions are updated to display the overall grade that you defined.
Edit the question's part grade
To edit a question's part grade (one response in a question with multiple components):
Click the edit part grade icon that's associated with the component that you want to edit.
Manually enter a part grade between 0 and 1 that you want to assign to the student's response (Example — enter 0.75 if you want the part grade for this section of the question to be awarded a part grade equivalent to 75%).
Click the save grade icon to update the student's part grade for this section of the question.
The student's overall grade for the question is then updated based on the edited part grade.
Regrade a question
To regrade an assignment question:
Click the regrade question icon to initiate assignment regrading.
You're navigated to the Regrade page. Check out step 8 of the Regrade an assignment help topic to see how to work with your regrading results.
Add a grading comment
Grading comments are customized feedback for a specific student on a particular question.
To add a grading comment that is visible to your students (unlike grade history comments which aren't visible to your students):
Click the grading comment icon to insert a comment that will be visible to the student in their Gradebook.
