Teacher Gradebook in Teams

Hi Guys,    Is there any plans to integrate a teacher grade book into teams. It seams it should be easy to simply collate the data from the assignments to do this without teachers having to export ...

    That feature is not a gradebook, it is just the scores and feedback from one assignment. Teachers want to be able to see the scores for all of the assignments to compare the progress that pupils are making. The feature did exist for a short while but was removed. The assignments were added to a single table but there was no logical order to the tasks (not date or alphabetical)

Hi Rick - you can download all grades at the same time to excel TODAY :) 

 

Go to Assignments tab -> then click the Review button. At the top right it will say "Export to Excel". Have you tried this yet?

Thanks for adding the export to excel, its a step in the right direction.

 

I noticed a little while ago that categories were added so I can now tag assignments but it seems to be a bit of a placeholder as I can't actually search or organize by tags.

 

I think that if we could add weighting to categories (ex. a simple example might be assignments 75%, tests 25%) and then tag our assignment accordingly and then have a gradebook tab that would collate all the assignment data and spit out an overall mark. There would also need to be a way to omit assignments (ie. do not count them towards the calculation).

 

I really like Teams but the lack of an easy gradebook is causing me to debate going back to using Moodle. Moodle was a nice way to organize course content with a slick gradebook that students could access at any time. I think if Teams can get this functionality integrated, it would really be a killer app. A lot of teachers I know are using tools like Schoology or Freshgrade which all have their shortcomings but the big advantage is they have an online gradebook. Please make this happen, Teams is great otherwise!
