Downloading From WebCT

Before information can be imported into MicroGrade, it must be downloaded from WebCT.

  2. From the Manage Students area click the Download button. The Download Student Record dialog displays.
  3. Change the Record separator from the default Comma to Tab.
    IMPORTANT: WebCT cannot process names that contain a comma when the separator is a comma because the standard quote protocol is not supported.
  4. Click the Download button. The File Download dialog displays.
  5. Click on the Save the file to disk radio button, and then click OK. The Save As dialog displays.
  6. Enter a file name in the File Name text box, and then select the directory where you wish to save the file.

Importing Into MicroGrade

Once WebCT data has been downloaded, scores can be imported into MicroGrade.

NOTE: To import WebCT score information you must have an existing MicroGrade class with the student information matching the WebCT class. The import process matches students based on their ID numbers. You can achieve this by either uploading students from MicroGrade or by downloading from WebCT.

  1. From the Scores drop-down menu, choose Import Scores, and then click on WebCT. The Get Assignment For Scores Import dialog displays.
  2. From the Get Assignment For Scores Import dialog, choose an assignment to import scores into.
  3. Click OK when finished. The Select a File of Scores to Import dialog displays.
  4. Select the file that contains the scores you wish to import, and then click Open. The Specify Import Fields dialog displays.
  5. Select the field in the list corresponding to the assignment you want to score, and then click on it so that it is highlighted.
    NOTE: MicroGrade automatically recognizes the field “User ID” and associates it with the MicroGrade student ID.
  6. From the Import Fields pop-up, choose Score.
  7. Click OK when finished.
