==Grades pushed by modules==
** [[Grade items]]
When activity modules produce grades, they use the [[Development:Grades#API_for_communication_with_modules.2Fblocks|gradebook public API]] to push (or send) their grades to the gradebook. These grades are then stored in database tables that are independent of the modules. The grades are still kept in the module database tables, and the gradebook will never access or modify these original grades.
** [[Grade categories]]
 
** [[Grade calculations]]
The gradebook, however, provides administrators and teachers with tools for changing the ways in which grades are calculated, aggregated and displayed, as well as [[grade/edit/tree/grade|means to change the grades manually]] (a manual edit of a grade automatically locks the grade in the gradebook, so that the module which originally created the grade can no longer update that grade in the gradebook until the grade is unlocked).
* [[Scales]]
 
* [[Outcomes]]
==Settings affecting grades==
* [[Grade letters]]
Being the smallest unit in the gradebook, the grade is affected by many settings at different levels. Here is a list of these levels, in hierarchical order:
* [[Grade import]]
 
* [[Grade export]]
*[[General_grade_settings|Site-wide general settings]]
* [[Advanced grading methods]]  
*[[Grade_category_settings|Site-wide grade category settings]]
** [[Rubrics]]
*[[Grade_item_settings|Site-wide grade item settings]]
** [[Marking guide]]
*[[Gradebook_report_settings|Gradebook report settings]]
** [[Learning Analytics Enriched Rubric]]
*[[Gradebook_course_settings|Course settings]]
*[[Grade_categories|Category settings]]
*[[Grade_items|Grade item settings]]
*[[grade/edit/tree/grade|Grade settings]]
 
==Outcomes==
 
[[Outcomes]] are specific descriptions of what a student is expected to be able to do or understand at the completion of an activity or course. An activity might have more than one outcome, and each may have a grade against it (usually on a [[Scales|scale]]).
 
==Gradebook reports==
 
The gradebook includes a variety of reports, available via the grades link in each [[Course administration block|course administration block]]:
 
* [[Grader report]] - The main teacher view of a course gradebook. The "[[Grade preferences|My report preferences]]" tab in the grader report enables teachers to change how the grader report is displayed.
* [[Outcomes report]]
* [[Overview report]]
* [[User report]]
 
==Grades organisation==
 
Teachers may organise grades into [[Grade categories|grade categories]], [[Grade import|import]] and/or [[Grade export|export]] grades, and make [[Grade calculations|grade calculations]].
 
Symbols to represent ranges of grades may be set as [[Grade letters|grade letters]].
 
Administrators may control the appearance of the gradebook site-wide by adjusting settings available via the grades link in the site administration block:
 
*[[General grade settings]]
*[[Grade category settings]]
*[[Grade item settings]]
*[[Gradebook report settings]]
