Marking your tasks is quick and easy. Under your Gradebook tab, you can click Tasks, which will allow you to access your grades. On the top pane, you can select specific tasks. Clicking the title of a task will open the task and you can enter each student's marks or comments.

Use the Sort by ... Due Date dropdown menu to rearrange the order of Tasks visible on the Tasks Overview page. You can sort by ascending or descending due dates or upcoming due dates first.
Grades & comments entered via the Tasks tab are automatically visible to the students and parents on their accounts by default, unless the teacher has manually hidden the Assessment results for a Task via the Gradebook > Tasks page.
Click Hide Task Results to not share results of the task with students.
Teachers cannot Send grades notifications for tasks with hidden results. Click Show Task Results republish Task Results. All Tasks are set to show results by default.
Use the Show Gradebook Options button to enabled or disable Field Checker functions. By enabling any of the available buttons, teachers can get a quick overview of which areas of the Task grades may need further review or completion. In the above case, the student name is not included in the comment and the Names field checker function indicates that in orange.

The assessment data and comments entered in the split-screen view sync directly into the Gradebook > Tasks section.
Marking Points-based Tasks
Via Classes > Gradebook > Tasks
In the Gradebook > Tasks tab, your tasks are listed. You can select a task by clicking on it.
Next to Chloe's name we see ( 10 (out of 10) / 7 ). This means she received 10 (out of 10) for the task which translates to an IB Grade of 7, by using the grade scale for this class.
Clicking on a task will bring you to that Task's gradebook.
