Set up grade passback

- Brightspace

- Moodle

- 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.
- 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.
- Grades: Leave additional feedback and final grading.
- 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.
- 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:
Common issues
- The Sync grades to LMS button is not showing up on your padlet.
- Be sure that your padlet is added as an assignment within your LMS first (not embedded).
- Ensure that grading has been enabled within your LMS. You can find the corresponding articles for each LMS that we support here: Canvas, Brightspace, Blackboard, Moodle, Schoology (using padlet.com), Schoology (using padlet.org), itsLearning (using padlet.com), itsLearning (using padlet.org).
- If grading was not enabled initially, but is now enabled after following the steps, remove the padlet from your course and then re-add it.
- Once everything is set up correctly, refresh your Padlet and the button should show up.
