Each course can be assigned a grading method of Participation, Cumulative, or No Tracking or Grading. If a course is set to Participation or Cumulative grading, each course module will pass a score to the Learning Management System (LMS) gradebook—automatically if Score Syncing: is set to Automatic and at the discretion of the student or instructor if Score Syncing: is set to Manually triggered by student or instructor.
Student tracking must be enabled if Participation or Cumulative grading is required.
No Tracking or Grading
If a course is set to No Tracking or Grading, student interactions will not be tracked and no scores will be passed back to the LMS. If No Tracking or Grading is selected, an activity block's Point Value: field does not display during block editing.
Participation
If a course is set to Participation grading, each module's score is calculated based on how many pages the student completes.
A Participation grade is calculated as follows:
number of module pages student has completed/number of pages in module
To complete a page, the student must access the page and attempt all page activities. Participation points are awarded regardless of activity scores earned.
If grading is set to Participation, an activity block's Point Value: field does not display during block editing.

Cumulative
The cumulative grade setting enables a participation point value for each page and the option to assign points to individual interactive activity blocks that have a scoring option.
In order to receive participation points for a page, the student must access the page and attempt all page activities. Participation points are awarded regardless of the activity scores earned.
