What is the Gradebook?
The Blackboard Gradebook is a key tool for instructors. In the Gradebook, you can add new gradable items, grade assessments, track student performance data , and archive the grades, archive student submissions and archive student responses, which is good file management practice. Consider reviewing this Blackboard Help resource dedicated to helping you setup your Gradebook, assessing your students’ learning, and track student performance and data.

Please note: When you delete an item from the gradebook, all student submissions associated with that item will also be deleted. Please make sure to back up your Gradebook periodically as necessary, to ensure that you don’t lose any important student submissions.
