Another way to add extra points is to simply override the automatic grading of
the assignments. In this example, the Teacher could have simply entered manual
grades for either Test. However, that would have made it more difficult and tedious
to determine how many points were manually added to the grades. By creating an
extra credit grading item, we can see exactly how much was added to the grades.
The Teacher forum
You cancreate a Forum that only Teachers can access. This is especially useful
when several teachers collaborate on a course. To create a teacher-only forum, add
a normal forum and then change the security so that Students and Guests cannot
access it. When a Student tries to access the forum, they will receive a message
stating You do not have the permission to view discussions in this forum.
Teachers will be able to access the forum.
