• Page Versions: The Page Version column displays all pages created and edited by the user. This allows the Instructor to see precisely how and what content the user-contributed and edited.

After a wiki is set to be graded, a column is automatically created in the Grade Center. Then, individual student contributions can be accessed from the wiki’s Participation Summary page. A user’s name can be selected and all the pages the student-authored and edited can be viewed to determine the grade. The Participation Summary page allows the Instructor to start at a high-level summary and drill down to the changes that an individual student made. The grade applies to the wiki, not an individual wiki page.

Use the Previous User and Next User arrows in the View Contributions section to quickly access other users’ contributions to grade.
