Gradebook

Overview §

The Gradebook in Allele provides educators with an intuitive interface to review and manage student or team responses. Educators can navigate through responses by selecting specific phases or focusing on individual students or teams. The Gradebook presents a snapshot of student or team submissions, reflecting exactly what they saw, including responses, text inputs, and marked-up images. Additionally, educators have several tools to interact with student/team data:

1. Manage State
2. Manage Scores
3. Leave Observations
