Managing event logs in grade book

About event logs

Event logs maintain a record of changes made in the Grades tool. The logs can be useful when auditing a grade book, managing updates made by teaching assistants, and discussing grades with learners.

  • User Grade event logs record all of the changes made to a particular user's grades.
  • Grade Item event logs record changes to grades on a single grade item.
  • Final Grade event logs record changes to users’ final grades.
  • Manage Grades event logs record changes made to the properties or restrictions of a specific grade item.
  • Restoring Grade Item event logs record the date and time a grade item is created or removed, and the user who performs the action.
