Sync grade passback on Padlet to your LMS

Updated 2 days ago by Audrey Leong

Gradebook lets you grade posts directly from your Padlet board and sync them to your LMS! Keep reading to learn how to get started.

This is only available to teachers and admins in Padlet for Schools accounts.
Grade passback is not supported with Padlet's Auto-remake feature. Using Auto-remake links with grade passback enabled will allow students to override their grades within the LMS.

Set up grade passback

  1. Add your board to an assignment
Do note: LTI integration only allows for adding padlets as assignments. If you want to add padlets elsewhere within your LMS, please use the embed feature.

To access the Gradebook on Padlet, you would need to first add your board to an assignment on your LMS.

Please refer to the following articles on how to do so depending on your school's chosen LMS:

  1. Go back to your Padlet board

After a board has been added to your LMS, head back to your Padlet board on your Padlet for Schools account and click the three-dot ellipsis button (...) found on the right side. Then, select Gradebook.

If you are unable to see this option, please refresh the page.
  1. Fill out the Gradebook menu

Gradebook menu

On this menu, you will see several options:

  • Max score: Set the maximum score attainable for each post.
  • Grade calculation: Choose to grade using the Average score or Highest score.

Using the Average score is most useful for peer-to-peer grading, where multiple scores may be given to the same post.

Using the Highest score is most useful for teacher-to-student grading, where only one final score will be given to a post.

  • Sync grades to LMS: Sync grades from Padlet to your LMS assignment.
We recommend keeping this toggle OFF until grades are finalized as each grade update will initiate an email to all students affected.
  • Grades: Leave additional feedback and final grading.
Students will have to be signed in when commenting on the board for grades to be synced to the correct student account. Anonymous contributions cannot be graded.
  1. Submit your grades

Once you've filled out the Gradebook menu and it has been completed and finalized, you can head back to 'Sync grades to LMS' and turn the setting ON and click on Submit. This will sync grades to the LMS.

  1. Check grades on LMS

Heading back to the Gradebook on your LMS, you should be able to see the synced grades.

Here's an example of how it would look:

FAQs

Can students access their grades from the Padlet board?
Students can access their own grades and feedback by opening Gradebook from the board. They will only see their own posts, grades and feedback.
I want to use auto-remake links and grade passback. Is there a workaround so I can do both?
Yes and no. Grade passback is not supported with Auto-remake links, as students can override their grades within the gradebook when using the feature. As a way to work around this, we suggest having all students post on the same padlet created by the teacher. In the Settings panel, turn on Manual moderation so that posts will only display once they are approved by the creator or an admin. This will prevent students from changing their grades and only allow the creator of the padlet to enter grades into the gradebook.
