How do I get graded discussion board items automatically posted to the gradebook?

First, let's assume that you have set up a category in your gradebook called Discussion. You will need to be in the advanced mode when creating a discussion board item. Be sure to check gradebook, assign points for the discussion board, and enter a rating as well.

Now, read students posts and assign a rating. When you are ready to grade the discussion board assignment, do the following:

Select utilities under the discussion board you want to grade
Select Grade Forum
Enter a grade into the grade column. You can once again view the student's posting, by clicking on the student's name.

Grades for the Grade Forum will automatically post to your gradebook.
