Moodle: How to Delete a Manually Added Gradebook Item

Occasionally, you may want to delete a manually added item, for example, you once added the column to record exam grades and exams are now given digitally in Moodle, or a paper once submitted by hard copy in the classroom is now submitted digitally in an Assignment dropbox.  These Moodle activities connect automatically to the gradebook so you should delete the manual columns.

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 edit this manual assignment in the Gradebook. If you want to delete the manual assignment all together (maybe now students take the quiz in Moodle Quiz where grades automatically are linked to the Gradebook in the settings), follow the steps below.

This Guide Will Help You to:

  1. Delete a manually added grade item step by step.

Steps

On the Moodle course homepage, click Grades. * (see alternative access to Gradebook below)
