DL Tip of the Week - Color Coding in the Bb Grade Center

This week’s tip is about color coding in the Blackboard Grade center. Color coding allows the Instructor to build rules to apply color to the cells in the Grade Center grid, either by grade or status. Adding color rules to the Grade Center provides visual indicators to help instructors interpret information quickly. For example, the Instructor can use red to highlight graded items with failing scores, so that with only a quick glance, students and columns that require attention are prominent. For additional information review the resources below.
