Today’s Tuesday Tune Up Video features a Canvas update that makes it so much easier and more intuitive to select or Set Up Grading Schemes in Canvas.

Click the video below for a tutorial, or keep scrolling for written directions.

Choosing a Different Grading Scheme in Canvas

Step One: Open up the Edit or Create view for an Assignment in Canvas.

Step Two: In the Display Grade as drop down menu, select Letter Grade.

This will cause the Grading Scheme drop down to appear.

Step Three: Choose from the drop down list of “default” grading schemes available in your course. To view a scheme, select the scheme, and click the “View/Edit” button.

Note: You will not be able to edit any of the “System” schemes.

To create your own Grading Schemes, click on the Manage All Grading Schemes link, and then select “+ New Grading Scheme.” NOTE: We definitely recommend contacting ID3 for help in setting up new grading schemes in your course.
