Grade Center

I'm having problems exporting my gradebook in Blackboard this quarter using Internet Explorer ver. 6.0.
Exporting your Blackboard Gradebook works a little differently if you are using a newer version of Internet Explorer (6.0 or above). To export the file in the correct format (csv) so it can be read in Excel, you need to right click on the "Get Exported Gradebook" link instead of following the "Viewing and Saving" instrutions. After you right click, choose "save target as" and then you can open the gradebook in Excel.

I've been playing with the Grade Center in BB. Is is possible to weight a group of items (like all exams count 25%) or must each item have a certain weight?
Easy:
1. Open the Add Calculated Column contextual menu on the Action Bar.
2. Select Weighted Column.
3. Select all the columns and categories and click the arrow to add all columns to the Selected Columns area.
4. Enter a percentage for each. This calculates the total grade using the weights set here.
Advanced:
You can create Weighted Columns that only calculate the weight for a set of columns or categories. These Weighted Columns can then be used to calculate another Weighted Column or Total Column to get the final grade.

I would like to post student quiz grades on Blackboard but don't know how. Any hints? I want the grades to be available to that student only.
To add grades to Blackboard, click on the Gradebook link under the Assessment area of your course control panel. Select Add Item from the top menu. Input the Item Name, etc including points possible. Once the item has been added, click on the name of the gradebook item at the top of the column. Select the Item Information option to manually input your students’ grades. Click the Submit button when finished.

Students access their grades by clicking on the Tools/Students Tools menu item from the Bb course homepage and then selecting View Grades. They will only be able to view their own individual grades for the course based on their DU ID.

Instructors are strongly encouraged to periodically print out a copy or download the Bb gradebook just in case….

Is there a way to print out my Grade Center in a more effective format rather than just hitting print?
The easiest way is to download your Bb Grade Center to Excel and print from there. Just click on "Download Grades" option from the Bb spreadsheet view and save it to a disk or your hard drive.

We encourage instructors to routinely backup their gradebook to Excel anyway, just in case...
