Back up the Gradebook in Ultra Courses
There is no event quite as frustrating as accidentally deleting a grade or grade column from the Scholar Gradebook. While Scholar records each change that you make to the Gradebook, you may find it easier to restore from a backup. This article describes how to back up your Gradebook.
The Gradebook has a feature that allows you to save a copy on your own computer. You may want to save a copy before and after you make major changes to your Grade Center layout or grade a large number of papers.
In the course, use the top panel to access the Gradebook.
Click on the gear at the top right to access the Gradebook settings.
Then, click the “Download grades” link.
On the sidebar that comes up, you will be able to download either the full grade center or a specific column or columns. You can also select to download the Grade History, which provides the history of changes made to individual grades. You will also be able to select the file type of the download; select a .csv file for the file type, as there are problems importing the tab delimited format into newer versions of Excel. When you have chosen all your settings, click 'Download' to download the file to your computer.
Uploading Grades
Don’t add new columns to the spreadsheet or your upload won’t work; instead, create them in Scholar and download the resulting spreadsheet.
When you need to upload this file, follow a similar process. Click on the gear at the top right to access the Gradebook settings.
Then, click on Upload Gradebook.
Using the sidebar that pops up, you can either browse for the desired file, or drag and drop it into the space. Select Upload to upload the file onto your Gradebook.
