Connect FeedbackFruits to the Brightspace Gradebook
Introduction
FeedbackFruits cannot create Grade Items in Gradebook within the University of Arizona Brightspace instance. Grade items must be manually created and connected to the FeedbackFruits activity. Unpublished grades in FeedbackFruits are invisible to students until the instructor manually publishes the grades, or schedules a date and time for automatic publishing to occur.
Step 1
Select the FeedbackFruits activity from the module and select Edit Activity.
Step 2
Inside the Activity Editor, select Add and Manage Grad Items.
Step 3
From the Add and Manage Grade Items screen, select + Grade Item.
Step 4
Set the desired point value in the points field.
Step 5
Select OK.
Step 6
Select Save and Close.
A grade item will be placed in the Gradebook using the same name as the title of the FeedbackFruits activity. The grade item name, point value, category, and other details can be adjusted from inside the Grades tool using the steps outlined in this help article.
Step 5
Within the FeedbackFruits activity, navigate down to the Grading module and select the Publish Grades button to check if the grade item has successfully been configured to your course.
If you have correctly configured the Grade Item you should see the screen below indicating a successful sync with the Brightspace Gradebook. It will display a message that reads, "Success. Are you sure you want to publish the grades? This can not be reverted" and you'll have options to cancel or publish.
Success
If the Grade Item is not configured, or you fail to relaunch the activity, you will see the screen below on an unsuccessful Gradebook sync. It will display a message that reads, "Unsuccessful. Are you sure you want to publish the grades to Brightspace? FeedbackFruits can't find a location in Brightspace to publish the grades to, but the grades will still be visible within this activity. If you also want the grades to be published to Brightspace, please check your Brightspace settings." It will have a link to more information about publishing grades and have a cancel and publish button.
