Grading Group Blogs

Grading Group Blogs

When you assign groups in your course, you are able to set up blogs for each group. Only members of the group can see the blog assigned to them. You can grade group blogs so that every member receives the same grade, or you can grade each member individually, based on their participation.

To Grade Group Blogs:

  1. On the Course Menu, expand the Grade Center section, and click on Needs Grading
  2. On the Needs Grading page, locate the student's blog submission and click on the Action Link.

  4. On the Grade Blog page, you can view students' blog participation. 
  5. You are able to enter one grade for all students in the group next to GRADE, or enter grades for each individual student by entering a grade next to the student's name. If a grade is only entered next to GRADE and not next to the student names, all group members will receive that grade.
  6. Enter any feedback to the learner, then click Submit. This feedback will be visible to all group members.
