Introduction
GradeL, Gradebook for Linux, (rhymes with "cradle") is a gradebook program for teachers. Written in Gambas2, this program includes some features I felt were important in a gradebook program.
Because GradeL is still under development, you may encounter bugs. It is good practice to back up your data frequently and keep hard copies of your records. Please report any issues in the forum or via email. These reports are an essential piece of GradeL development. For development news, please see the GradeL Blog.
- Customizable grading calendar
- Compute grades using straight points or weighted categories
- Use numerical values and alpha/numeric codes for grading
- Track attendance
- Enter comments on students
- Create seating charts
- Print progress reports as well as other useful reports
- Drop students
- Export to Online Grades
While still buggy and incomplete, it is functional. GradeL requires Gambas2 components gb.qt, gb.form, and gb.qt.ext. Make sure you have these packages installed via your distro's packaging system. The latest version of GradeL is 0.9.1.
GradeL currently supports customizable semesters and marking periods. Marking period grades are calculated with either Straight Points (no weights) or Weighted Categories. Semester grades are a weighted combination of included marking periods and a final exam. GradeL produces customizable seating charts and a variety of reports.
