This lesson will guide you through the process of duplicating Gradebooks for use by teachers/staff as templates. Gradebooks duplicated and shared will be copied with ALL parts of the Gradebook (this means assignments, preferences, etc). The duplicate Gradebook can be used/customized without altering the original.
This is most useful, for example, with elementary schools in which all 1st grade teachers give exactly the same assignments throughout the year and want a school-wide template to be shared out instead of every individual teacher creating the same Gradebook. An Administrator can create the Gradebook, share access to it and then this can be duplicated and renamed/altered by teachers.
Where to Start
If you need to create the Gradebook you need to share out, see the lessons Create, Modify, Delete Points-Based GradeBooks or Create, Modify, Delete Standards-Based GradeBooks.
1. Click Gradebook tab.
2. Select My Gradebooks.
Share Your Gradebook
1. Under the Shared column, click on the No link to access the sharing page.
2. Select who you wish to share the Gradebook with.
3. Since you're sharing a template with the intention of having users duplicate the Gradebook, you'll likely want to share the Gradebook as View Only. Do this by un-checking all the sharing options listed here.
4. Click Share.
5. The GradeBook has now been shared. You will then see exactly whom it is shared with and the permissions they have. You can always come to this page to remove access as well.
User Duplication
1. Find the GradeBook you wish to duplicate and click the Duplicate link.
You will receive a success message that the Gradebook has been duplicated.
2. Rename the GradeBook (it will auto fill as "Copy of").
3. Select which students you want to populate the Gradebook with.
4. Click Save.
5. You will get a message that the GradeBook has been successfully updated.
