Using an External Tool for an Ungraded Assignment

[EllenCrews]

I frequently want to do in-class assignments using an External Tool (Nearpod, Pear Deck, etc.). If I select to display scores as an ungraded assignment, the external tool disappears. I do not want to grade these assignments, nor do I want them cluttering up my gradebook as assignments with a grade total of zero. It seems like this should be an easy fix.

Hello there, @EllenCrews ...

I was able to re-create what you are describing.  Instead of selecting "Not Graded" from the "Display Grade as" dropdown list, I think the best option you'll have is to select the checkbox for "Do not count this assignment towards the final grade", but this won't necessarily remove it as a column in your Grades page.  I know this might not be ideal for your needs...but it's probably the best that can be done at this time.

Hope this helps.  Sing out if you have any other questions...thanks!  Take care, stay safe, and be well.
