Introduction
Depending on your course, you may wish to add individual assignments, or grade items, into your Moodle gradebook. This may be to identify in-person assignments or activities, extra credit, or assignments completed through different platforms that do not sync to the Moodle gradebook.
Locate and click on the Grades tab in your Moodle course
Go to Gradebook Setup from the dropdown menu
Select Add Grade item from the add drop down menu
Fill out the appropriate fields in the popup window or click on show more for settings for the graded item.
Tip: you can assign your graded item to a grade category from the popup window or show more page. This will remove the additional step of moving the grade item to the correct category later.
Note: If you create your assignment through the show more page, after you select the grade category, you will be able to mark the assignment as extra credit (if applicable).
