What is it?

A grade item type that allows assessors to assess learners based on whether they have fulfilled a requirement. This can be useful for marking attendance or using it as a checklist item.

How do I create a Checkbox assessment on OpenLearning?

Step 1

Go to Assessment > Gradebook

Step 2

Click Add grade item>Checkbox

Step 3

Enter your checkbox report Name and Description and click Add to grade book.

 Protip: Click Copy checkbox item from another class if you want to copy the checkbox report from a different class.

Step 4

This will take you to the main Gradebook section. In this section, you need to set up the following: 

1) Weight: Assign the weight or score for your grade items. 
2) Visibility: Select the appropriate visibility setting for your learners' view and click Save. The default visibility of the item is Score only. The only other available option is Hidden. This is because checkbox items do not have a report attached to it.

 3) Action: Click the three dots, select Edit to continue modifying your grade item report, or choose Delete to remove the grade item report.

Protip: When the checkbox grade item is created, it will show as Unfulfilled on the learner’s grade book.

Refer to the articles below for instructions on how to assess Checkbox grade items.
