To hide a Quiz or Assignment folder:<br \/>\n1) Go to the tool;<br \/>\n2) On the drop down menu available next to the title of the quiz or folder select \u201cEdit\u201d;<br \/>\n3) On the \u201cRestrictions tab\u201d check \u201cHide from Users\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>You can change this setting once all submissions have been received for your assignment, quiz, or online proctored assessment and before you begin grading.<\/p>\n<h2>Why did this happen?<\/h2>\n<p>Brightspace recently corrected a problem in their platform that prevented grades from being synced between the Quiz tool and the Assignments tool and the Gradebook.\u00a0 If a grade was entered into the Quiz or Assignment tool, grades would sync into the Gradebook but if grades were entered directly into the Gradebook, they would not sync to the tool, and would need to be re-entered.\u00a0 The change in the platform enables two-way syncing.<\/p>\n<p>Memorial&#8217;s policy around grading is that final grades are released to students via the Registrar&#8217;s Office once approved by academic departments.\u00a0 CITL has often recommended that instructors hide a single column from view (usually the final exam or final assignment column) for their students in addition to hiding the Final Grade column.\u00a0 Now that two-way syncing is enabled, instructors must take the additional step of disabling visibility of the assessment once complete, or when grades are entered, they will sync to the tool and appear for students to review.<\/p>\n<p>Please reach out to the <a href=\"https:\/\/citl.mun.ca\/support\/\">CITL Support Centre<\/a> if you need help or have any questions about this change.<\/p><\/div><div class='clear_column'><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8137","page","type-page","status-publish"],"featured_image_src":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.citl.mun.ca\/technologyresources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.citl.mun.ca\/technologyresources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.citl.mun.ca\/technologyresources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.citl.mun.ca\/technologyresources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.citl.mun.ca\/technologyresources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8137"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.citl.mun.ca\/technologyresources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8137\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8139,"href":"https:\/\/blog.citl.mun.ca\/technologyresources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8137\/revisions\/8139"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.citl.mun.ca\/technologyresources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.citl.mun.ca\/technologyresources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.citl.mun.ca\/technologyresources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
