Course Outline Bulk Actions Overview
A Bulk Edit button exists in the top right of the Course Outline page. Once clicked, Topics, Lessons, and Assignments each show checkboxes to the left. Teachers select the assignments of their choice, then click the blue Actions button, now in the top right of the same page, to make their bulk actions selection.
This feature is great for scheduling an entire lesson to go live at a later date, syncing in bulk to an LMS, even grading multiple assignments at once.
Grading in Bulk
When grading in bulk, the teacher has three options which students to include:
Submitted, not graded yet - To grade student work marked as turned in, but "Ungraded".
Already have a grade - To replace a current grade for all students who have already received one.
Haven't submitted - To submit work for students who haven't yet, and assign them the designated grade.
Selecting Lessons and Topics
To take bulk actions for an entire lesson or topic, teachers select the checkbox next to the Topic or Lesson name. All assignments underneath that title are selected at once. From there, the teacher can take action, or deselect a number of assignment to exclude before taking action.
Selecting From Search
Teachers may want to take bulk action for multiple assignments of the same type. For example, using the search bar to view all quizzes in a given term offers the opportunity for the teacher to mark them all with a Times Left flag of "1". Similarly, a teacher may search for "Glossary Quiz" and change all assignments of that type to have 2 attempts and never reveal answers.
