Viewing Learning Mastery Gradebook

To use the Learning Mastery Gradebook, you must first toggle it over in the top left corner of your gradebook. Click “Gradebook” then “Learning Mastery” to switch views.

...

The Learning Mastery Gradebook is organized like the assignments gradebook with the student names and sections on the left [1]. Similar to the assignments gradebook, you can click a student's name to link go to their Grades page. Each column consists of a course outcome and the outcome grade for each student [2]. Also like the assignments gradebook, the columns can be sorted, resized, and reordered. Click an outcome column heading to sort the outcome by student name [3].

...

The Learning Mastery Gradebook displays 20 students per page. Use the numbered page navigation buttons at the bottom of the gradebook to view additional students on other pages [7].

...

Note: Unlike the example picture provided, the Launch Elementary course uses five outcome grades: Exceeds Mastery, Mastery, Near Mastery, Below Mastery, and Well Below Mastery.

Using Decaying Average

The gradebook in the Elementary course uses the “decaying average” setting in Canvas. The Decaying Average calculation factors the average of all assessment items while weighing the most recent (current) submission to any assignment associated with this outcome at a higher percentage.

...

By default, the Canvas decaying average is set at 65/35, meaning the current item is weighted at 65%, and the average of all other user scores is weighted at 35%. However, users can specify between 1% and 99% for the current percentage, and prior scores are weighted against the percentage difference. Note that the average is rounded to the next two decimals. If there is only one result, then the single score will be displayed.

...

  • Current item score: 5

  • Average of prior item scores: (4 + 3 + 2) / 3 = 3

  • Calculated score: 5 (.65) + 3 (.35) = 3.25 + 1.05 = 4.3
