Getting the Gradebook Wizard Back

During this week’s training on the ANGEL Gradebook, the question was asked “can you go back and use the ANGEL Gradebook Wizard after you initially choose to skip the wizard (Manage > Gradebook > Skip Wizard button)?

Our initial answer based on research (see http://ets.tlt.psu.edu/angel/node/89) was “no, you can’t.” You can simulate the wizard by going through the Gradebook options in this order:

• Gradebook > Preferences
• Gradebook > Categories
• Gradebook > Assignments
• Gradebook > Grading Scale

However after follow-up research (checking ANGEL online Help), we found this note: “If the Gradebook Wizard no longer appears, you can reactivate it by deleting all categories set up. Generally this is not a good idea, but good to know if someone has been testing it out but not really setting up the categories and assignments needed and wants to start over again.”

Thanks for Bob Epp and Michael Rea for their research.
