D2L - Create a Grade Item
- This tutorial is operating system independent.
Overview
The following documentation shows the process of creating a grade item from the Grades section of Desire2Learn. This will show the process of creating a grade item before creating the assignment it is attached to. Creating a grade item is essentially adding a new column in the grade book once attached to an assignment or quiz.
Grade items can also be created while creating an assignment, quiz or discussion item you would like to be graded. When creating these items there is an [add grade item] link that opens a new window. This window will show the options shown in steps 4-6, so reference those steps when simultaneously creating a grade item and assignment or quiz.

Choose the type of grade item you would like. The most common is Numeric as it is simply a number of points received out of points possible (ex. 45/50).
*Note: The remaining steps show options when Numeric has been chosen as the grade type. For more information on grade item types please visit the Types of Grade Items page.
