Scoring and Grades

When using the Interplay Learning LTI to embed an Interplay Learning course into your LMS, it is embedded as a gradable activity. A column for the Interplay Learning course will be generated in the  grade center automatically the first time a student or instructor opens that Interplay Learning course link. The learner's score on the assignment is the percent of the Interplay Learning course that the learner has completed. For example, if your assignment is worth 100 points and the learner completes 30% of the content, the score in the gradebook will display as 30. If your assignment is worth 110 points, and the learner completes 30% of the content, the score in the gradebook will display as 33.  This score will update every time the learner progresses further in the Interplay Learning course.
