Grade by Question and Grades

For a quiz attempt score that has already been sent to an associated Grades item, changes to that attempt's score when grade by question is being used do not get pushed to the Grades item unless the attempt is marked as ungraded and then marked as graded. This is not a problem when the score for the attempt is updated when viewing the attempt, only when viewing the question.

Here are the steps to replicate the problem:

1. On the Manage Quizzes page, click the icon to grade the quiz.
2. Click on the tab to grade by Questions
   Note: If you grade by user or by attempt, this is not a problem.
3. Click in the button to Grade Individual Responses
   Note: If you click in the button to Update All Attempts, this is not a problem.
4. Make a change in any of the scores for an individual question and click the Save button - the score for the attempt will update and will even appear on the Users or Attempts tabs but will not be pushed to the Grades tool. To do this, take these steps:

• From the Attempts or Users tab, uncheck the Graded box for that attempt.
• Click the Update button.
• Check the Graded box for that attempt.
• Click the Update button.

Who Can See a Particular Content Module or Topic?

If you use release conditions to plan an individualized learning path through your course content, you can see which topics a particular student can see by viewing that student's progress report:

• On the Classlist, click on the Progress Report icon () for a student.
• Click the Change button and choose the Content tool and click Apply.
  
  
  
• The page shows a list of all content modules and topics - a closed eye next to a module/topic name indicates that particular student cannot see that particular module or topic
