In the Control Panel, expand “Grade Center” then click on “Full Grade Center”.
In the Grade Center, after you click on “Manage” and then “Categories, you may have noticed that you have all your categories listed. This includes pre-made categories as well as any you have created. You can simplify things by deleting unwanted Categories.
To place an individual item in a category, click on the drop-down menu in the column header (the downfacing arrows) then click Edit Column Information
Within area 1. Column Information, choose a category for that grade column.
Check the box next to all the items you want to place in the same category
One to the most useful features of categories is that you can make a column to calculate a Weighted Total using categories. This will be described separately.
The Categories page allows you to see a list of all existing (default and user defined) categories and which Grade Center Columns have been assigned to those Categories.
Enter a Name for your new Category. (Be careful not to duplicate an existing Category Name or you could end up with two categories with the same name which can lead to confusion later when you assign Categories to your Grade Center Columns .)
Click the No Category button to reveal a drop-down menu of available Category options.
Select the desired Category to assign to this Grade Center Column from those available on the drop-down list.
Click the Submit button to confirm your Category selection and any other changes you may have made on the Edit Column page. Or click Cancel if you do not wish to apply your Category selection.
If you click the Submit button in the previous step, you will be taken back to the Full Grade Center and there should be a green confirmation bar at the top of the screen informing you that you have successfully edited the Grade Center Column.
Due the large file sizes associated with videos, CVCC does not allow the use of the Build Content: Video content creation method. Instead, CVCC requires that you use VidGrid to include video content in your Blackboard courses.
