Grading in E-Classroom is continuous. Instead of adding up marks at the end of term, the system keeps a live grade for every student that updates the moment attendance, an assignment, or a quiz result changes. How those inputs combine is decided by the classroom’s weighted grade scheme.

​
Who Uses This Feature

​
Before You Start

You need an Active classroom with a grade scheme selected. The scheme should be in place before the class starts collecting attendance and grades, so results are weighted correctly from the beginning.

​
The Grade Scheme

A grade scheme decides how the different inputs are weighted and how a final percentage maps to a grade band (for example, a letter grade or pass mark). Schemes are reusable reference data: you can reuse one scheme across many classrooms.

​
Field Guide - Grade Scheme

Grade components are configured per classroom, so the same scheme can be tuned to a specific class. You add, weight, and remove components on the classroom’s grading setup.

​
How the Live Grade Works

Each student has a single grade snapshot per classroom. It is recomputed automatically whenever:
  • attendance is marked or changed,
  • an assignment submission is graded, or
  • a quiz attempt is graded.
A nightly pass also recomputes every snapshot, so grades stay correct even after bulk changes. You never trigger the calculation by hand for normal grading. If you ever need to, a teacher can recompute a single student or the whole class from the grading tools.

​
The Gradebook

The gradebook is the teacher’s view of the whole class’s standing.
1

Open the grades page

Go to /classroom/{code}/grades. A student sees their own grade and breakdown; a teacher sees every student.
2

Review standings

See each student’s current grade and how the components contributed.
3

Drill into a student

Open a student to see the history behind their grade.

​
Exporting Reports

You can export two reports for offline use or record-keeping: Both are available from the grades and attendance surfaces and download as spreadsheet files.

​
Upstream and Downstream

  • Upstream (must exist first): a grade scheme; attendance, assignments, and quizzes to grade.
  • Downstream (this enables): the gradebook and the attendance and gradebook exports.

​
Best Practices

  • Choose the grade scheme before the class goes Active so early grades are weighted correctly.
  • Tune the grade components on the classroom to match how you actually assess this class.
  • Trust the live grade: it recomputes automatically, so there is no end-of-term totalling to do.
  • Export the gradebook and attendance at milestones (mid-term, end of term) for your records before archiving the class.
