Introduction

While Brightspace offers the opportunity for quiz attempts to be published to the gradebook automatically, there are situations in which instructors may elect to have attempts published to the gradebook manually.

Manually Publish Quiz Attempts

The following steps are to be followed to manually publish students' quiz attempts.

1. Course Menu from the navigation bar then click Grades.
   
   
    
2. Scroll to locate the quiz that needs to have the attempts published. Click the dropdown menu (located to the right of the title) and select Enter Grades.
   
   
    
3. In the Submission column, a rectangle with a question mark inside an icon will appear to indicate an attempt was made by the student. Click the Attempt icon.
   
   
    
4. A pop-up window will appear, and the first item in that window is a dropdown menu that will say “Completion Summary” by default.
   
   
    
5. Click the dropdown menu then click the attempt that needs to be published.
   
   
    
6. The screen will load the questions with the student’s responses. Click the Publish button at the bottom of the popup window.
   
   
    
7. Click the Close button when the attempt has been saved.
   
   
   Please note: if there is more than one attempt, you will need to repeat these steps for each attempt.
    
8. When all students’ attempts have been published, you can refresh the web browser screen to see the grades posted. After confirming all attempts have been published, click the Save and Close button.
