Re-Syncing Marks from BetterExaminations to Blackboard Grade Center

Suppose a situation arises where you or another user made changes to an exam that causes student submission grades to change. In that case, you will have to re-sync the BetterExaminations exam grade with the Blackboard Grade Center since the marks in BetterExaminations don’t automatically sync with the Blackboard Grade Center.  To do this, perform the following steps:

 

BetterExaminations Navigation Bar with Dashboard, Courses, Students, and Users within in it
The Course link is in the left navigation menu.

 

Step 1: lick the Courses tab on the left menu to view all courses associated with your account. (If you don’t see the left menu, select theHamburger Button, Three Horizontal line stacked on top of each other icon)

 

 

 

Step 3: Select the course for which the exam was created.
