Associating Grade Items to Dropbox

Step 1 - Go to Dropbox

1. Click "Assessments" from the navigation bar.
2. Select Dropbox in the submenu

Step 2 - Edit Dropbox Folder

1. Click the down arrow next to the dropbox folder you wish to associate grade item
2. Choose "Edit Folder"

Step 3 - Associate the Grade Item

1. Click on Ungraded
2. Enter a point value
3. Click on "In Gradebook"
4. Select "Edit or Link to Existing"

In a new pop-up window, you will select one of two options:

1. Create and link to a new grade item
   • This option will create a new grade item in the gradebook
   • The name and point value cannot be changed in this area and will reflect your name choice of your dropbox and the points selected in this step
   • Choose Category - this will expand your options and allow you to put the grade item in an existing category within your gradebook
   • Change Gradebook and Scheme - this will expand a menu that allows you to change the grade type and use any scheme created in your gradebook
2. Link to an existing grade item
   • Once this is selected, a dropdown menu will expand and show existing grade items in your gradebook that are not attached to any other activities
   • The point value of that grade item will appear as well as the weight if you are using a weighted grading system
   • Remember that your grade item points will take precedent in your gradebook and either the dropbox point value or grade item will need to be changed to make sure they match

Click "OK" to save your selection.

Step 4 - Click Save and Close

Click "Save and Close" on the dropbox to finish attaching your grade item.
