4 Expand the Benchmarks category.
l
Benchmark - A benchmark is a standard by which a grade can be measured.
Benchmarks can be set for all sessions in the Overview. A participant falling below the
benchmark will display the percentage in red, and a participant falling at or above the
benchmark will display the percentage in green.
l
Performance Scale - A performance scale can be set to display a text or numeric
value equal to how the participant has performed across all sessions. The default is set
to view as an educational grading scale, but can be adjusted to fit other purposes.
Default values can be restored at any time by clicking Restore Defaults. Any changes
will be lost and replaced with the default values.
NOTE
If the lower value of a range is adjusted, the upper value of the range below will automatically
adjust. Additional ranges can be added by entering a number greater than zero for the lowest
range value.
Adding a Manual Grade Column
Manual grade columns can be added for assignments that were not conducted in one of the three polling environments. These
values will be added to overall average scores and will be included in the export options.
