Share content confidentially with students

In addition to assessment data, the Grades tool can be used to share other information confidentially with students. Here are the steps to do so:

1. Create a grade item for this purpose.
   Note: Make it a Text item if there is not a score associated with the content you want to share.
2. Back on the Grades List / Manage Grades page, click on the Enter grades icon for the item you created.
3. For a student, click on the Enter comments icon. This opens a pop-up window with two fields. Click on the box "Comments for users:" to add comments for this particular student. You can use the Quicklink button to add links to external videos or course files.
   Note: If you want to share a particular file with a particular student, that file must first be uploaded to the Manage Files area of course.

Students can access this content by going to the Grades page within your course offering.
