In addition to the traditional way of conveying grading information via printed reports, WebGrade enables you to make MicroGrade reports accessible to your students over the Internet. The WebGrade feature includes three main elements: (1) the Upload Reports option under the WebGrade menu in MicroGrade on your local computer, (2) Chariot's WebGrade Internet site located on a server (computer) at Chariot Software Group where you can view your reports, post notices and e-mail students and (3) Chariot's eClassInfo Internet site www.eClassInfo.com where students with a password assigned by you (see Student Records ) can login and view the reports that you have uploaded to the web. If you would like to exclude a student from the WebGrade Reports (see Student Information ). Before uploading reports, ensure that you have an Internet connection and that ID and WebGrade passwords have been assigned to your students.

1. From the WebGrade menu, choose Upload Reports.
2. When the WebGrade Reports dialog appears, enter a Class Title. This title does not appear on any of the reports but appears on the eClassInfo web page to identify each upload. A report from the same class and period will replace a prior report from that class and period. If you are uploading reports from more than one class or from a different period in the same class, give each report a unique title so your students can easily locate the report for their class.
3. Use the check boxes and radio buttons to select the reports and options desired.
4. Click on the Edit Header buttons associated with each report to enter individual report headers. The Class Message button to the right of the Class Title enables you to enter a message that will appear below the Class Title and above the list of reports.
5. Click on the Upload button in the lower right of the dialog.
   A progress bar will appear while the report(s) information is initially saved on your desktop.
6. If you have a Web browser with a connection to the Internet and your modem is on, MicroGrade will start your browser and a login page will appear.
   
   If you have not created an account, click on the Create Account button. You will be asked to enter the following information: (1) MicroGrade serial number (if you don't know yours, look in the About MicroGrade option under the Help menu), (2) name, (3) school, (4) zip code, (5) login name (your choice), (6) e-mail address, (7) password (your choice) and (8) the name that you want to give your web page within WebGrade. When done, click the Finish button.
   
   If you have already created an account, just enter your login name and password and click the Login button.
7. A new web page will appear with one text box. Perform the following steps to complete the process of uploading (transferring) your report(s) from your computer to your WebGrade page located on a server (computer) at Chariot Software.
   • Click on the Browse button to open the Macintosh file dialog.
   • Navigate to the Desktop.
   • Click on the file named WebGrade_Upload_File and click Open.
   • Click on the Upload File button.
8. A new page will appear notifying you that the process was successfully completed. Click on the Continue button.
9. When the WebGrade Reports Index appears, you can do any of the following:

1. Go to the page where students access your WebGrade information by clicking on the link in the upper part of the Index page,
2. Click on the Notice button to the right of the report title to post notices which will appear when students access your reports,
3. Click on the Status button to the right of the report title to determine when the report was uploaded,
4. Select the E-mail Students option in the Action drop-down list to email or print student IDs, passwords, and the web page address where reports can be found.
5. Select the View Reports option in the Action drop-down list to access a page with links to each individual report,
6. Click in a checkbox to the far right of the report title(s) and then click the Delete button to remove the uploaded report(s). Once you delete a set of reports, it will no longer be available for students to view.

To access the WebGrade site without uploading, go to webgrade.classmanager.com. Do not use "www" before the address. Students can access the uploaded information at www.eClassInfo.com after entering their ID and password.
