Streamline your grading process by importing grades from external sources into GradeCraft using CSV format. Whether you're tracking attendance, utilizing quiz programs, or managing in-class assignments, GradeCraft's flexible import feature ensures seamless integration of grade data.
Not all assignments need to be submitted by students through GradeCraft. For example, it may be easier for you to keep attendance records in a spreadsheet. GradeCraft provides flexibility for instructors to import integer data from external sources, such as spreadsheets or quiz programs, facilitating efficient grading processes. Follow these steps to import grades in CSV format:
Format Data
GradeCraft requires grades to be in a specific format for data upload. The file must be in CSV format and it needs to contain the student's email address or ID.
If you are using an existing spreadsheet, the following column headers (in order) need to be present:
|
First Name
|
Last Name
|
Email
|
Score
|
Feedback
|
However, we usually recommend you download the Grade Import Template to make sure your information is in the right format. Downloading the template will also include all students in your class, so it ensures that student names and email are correct.
Download the Grade Import Template
