Moodle Grades: Add Manual Grade Item
Summary
Assignment drop boxes are linked to the Gradebook from the assignment settings when the Assignment is created. However, if you have added any manual assignments, for example a quiz that was taken in the F2F classroom, you must add this assignment to the Gradebook manually in the Gradebook setup area.
