Grade Centre Issues?
Setting up Blackboard’s Grade Centre columns and configuring them properly so students can see their grades when you want them to see their grades can be challenging at times! Some common issues can be solved by making sure you select the correct options from the column’s contextual menu, which becomes available when you hover over the column’s header and then clicking the grey chevron. For example, how do you know which of your columns are hidden from students? Download and print the Quick Tips for Using the Full Grade Centre to find out for sure.

Retention Centre – Who may be at risk in your course?
If you are using your Blackboard site extensively, you may find the Retention Centre to be a valuable tool to help you identify students at risk in your course. Find the Retention Centre by navigating to your Control Panel and then click the Evaluation menu. This tool tracks four categories of site activity, including missed deadlines, grade alerts, activity alerts and access alerts. You can communicate directly with struggling students and help them identify paths to improvement. You can also identify individual students to monitor. Learn more about this tool by reading Blackboard’s Retention Centre article.
