Adding Gradescope Activities to a Moodle Course

Each Moodle activity links to one specific Gradescope assignment. If this is your first time using Gradescope, you must complete an additional step to create the course.

1. Go to your Moodle course site and turn the edit toggle on.
2. Navigate anywhere on your course page and select Add an activity or resource.
3. Choose Gradescope from the activity list and select [Add].
4. Click [Select Content] and follow the instructions in the Gradescope pop-up window.
5. Choose to link your Moodle course to a new Gradescope course or select an existing one.
6. Follow the instructions to create a new assignment or link to an existing assignment in Gradescope.
7. Select [Link Assignment].
8. When returning to Moodle, give the activity a name that includes both Gradescope and the assignment name (e.g., “Gradescope Midterm”). Then select [Save].

Repeat this process for each Gradescope activity you want to add to your Moodle course.

You can choose whether or not to allow Gradescope to send grades back to Moodle.
