Publish Quizzes Manually if They Do Not Appear in the Gradebook

If your quizzes do not automatically publish to the gradebook, it is likely because the Evaluation & Feedback panel for the quiz is not configured correctly.

Configuring a Quiz to Publish Grades

  1. In the Navbar, select [Course Activities], and then select [Quizzes].

    Course navigation menu showing Course Activities with Quizzes selected.

  2. From the Manage Quizzes page, click the drop-down arrow next to the quiz you'd like to edit and select [Edit].

  5. Make sure the [Synchronize to grade book on publish] checkbox is selected. (If this option is greyed out, that means the quiz is not linked to a grade item, so return to step 3).

  6. If you check [Auto-publish attempt results immediately upon completion] after students have taken the quiz, those students' grades will not be published. You must publish them manually. See the following steps for details.

NOTE: If you only check the [Synchronize to grade book on publish] setting after students have taken the quiz, and [Auto-publish attempt results immediately upon completion] was already checked, then you will NOT have to publish grades manually.
