The Gradebook
The Gradebook helps instructors view and enter grades for students. Depending on the Grade display type, instructors can view grades for each assignment as points, a percentage, complete or incomplete, GPA scale, or letter grade.
The Gradebook displays published graded assignments, graded discussions, graded quizzes, and graded surveys.

Message Students Who
You can use the Gradebook to send messages to your students. You can message students individually in the Gradebook using the student context card Links to an external site..
The Message Students Who option allows you to message students based on specific criteria.
Message subjects are filtered based on specific assignment categories:
- Haven't submitted yet—students who haven't submitted the assignment, even if manually awarded a grade.
- Haven't been graded—students with assignments that haven't been graded (submitted or unsubmitted).
- Scored less than [point value]—students who earned a grade on their assignment less than X number of points.
- Scored more than [point value]—students who earned a grade on their assignment more than X number of points.
Although one message sends to multiple students simultaneously, each student will receive an individual message.
