The visibility of quiz grades can only be managed via quick settings on the class page - see Method 2 below. |
Step 1 - Go to the gradebook
Clicking on ‘Gradebook Setup’ will take you to the gradebook, showing all the assessments you have added to Myplace.
Step 2 - Show/hide grades in the gradebook
Each activity or grade item has an ‘Edit’ link under ‘Actions’. The assignments ‘Edit’ action gives two options – ‘Edit Settings’, and the Hide/Show ‘eye-con’. When ‘Hide’ is selected, students will not be able to see their grade and the item will appear greyed out in the gradebook when class tutors look at it. When 'Show' is selected, students will be shown their grades.

Hidden grades will still appear in the class tutor’s gradebook, of course, but in a lighter grey font as an indication that they are not visible to students.

Making grades visible at a prearranged date and time
Step 1 - Go to the grade item settings
Myplace can even make grades visible to students at a specific date and time, so you can tell your class in advance when to expect their results. Start by going to the grade item's settings from the gradebook.
Step 2 - Display the options
Under ‘Grade’, ‘show more’ will make additional options available.
Step 3 - Set the date and time to reveal the grades
Next to ‘Hidden until’, click the ‘Enable’ checkbox to enable this option and set the date and time the grades should be revealed
Remember!
Unless your assessment activity is set to the ‘Show’ state, students will not able to see their grades on Myplace. The date setting does not override the overall show/hide setting.
