Grades
Note: This page, together with the pages listed in the block on the right, describe the gradebook in Moodle 1.9 onwards. For documentation on the gradebook in Moodle prior to 1.9, see Grades pre-1.9.
Grades
Many activities in Moodle, such as assignments, forums and quizzes may be given grades. Grades may have numerical values, or words/phrases from a scale.
Grades in Moodle are kept in the gradebook.
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 scale).
Gradebook reports
The gradebook includes a variety of reports, available via the grades link in each course administration block:
- Grader report - The main teacher view of a course gradebook. The "My report preferences" tab in the grader report enables teachers to change how the grader report is displayed.
- Outcomes report
- Overview report
- User report

Teachers may organise grades into grade categories, import and/or export grades, and make grade calculations.
Symbols to represent ranges of grades may be set as 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:
