Moodle - Unhiding/showing grades at the end of a course (staff)

These instructions are intended for RRU staff, and explain how to ensure that all assignments and grades in Moodle are visible to students at the end of a course.

Step 1

Ensure that assignment activities are shown to students on the main course page. Hidden assignment activities will be grey and will display Hidden from students.

(1) If an assignment is indicated as being hidden then (2) select the ellipses button next to it, and (3) select Show.

Step 2

Ensure that the gradebook is shown to students. The gradebook is usually shown throughout the course, but this step allows you to confirm that it is shown.

Navigate to the main course page and select Settings.

Scroll down and expand Appearance. Ensure that Show gradebook to students is set to Yes (in most credit courses this should never be set to No).

Step 3

Ensure that everything in the gradebook is shown to students. This step will show everything in the gradebook, so you if you want to keep anything hidden make a note of it and re-hide it once you're done. This step is important as it solves the problem with students sometimes not being able to see their course totals (a problem which is not solved by showing items one-by-one).

From the main course page select the Grades.

From the drop-down menu at the left, select Gradebook setup.

Immediately under the Actions heading of the Actions column select the ellipses button and then Hide, which will hide everything in the gradebook. This may seem counter-intuitive, but hiding everything and then showing everything is the easiest way to ensure that everything is shown.

Repeat the last step but this time select Show which will show everything in the gradebook.

Note that if you need to keep anything hidden, hide it after showing everything.

Students should now be able to see their gradebook and all of their grades.
