Your LMS Gradebook, and How Your Participation is Graded (opens in a new tab)

• INTRODUCTION:
  • Getting Points and Passing Your Yellowdig Grade to the Course Page (Canvas, Blackboard, D2L etc.)
  • If your instructor is using the grading feature, you should know that Yellowdig points are a different "currency" than the points you will see in your course page (Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, D2L, etc.).
    • Yellowdig points will usually not match what is shown in your course gradebook. Yellowdig points are converted to a percentage, which is sent to your course gradebook about once per hour.
    • There is also a sync button there where you can force it to sync to your course gradebook based on your recent activity.
