How do I add a grading scheme in an account?
As an admin, you can create grading schemes for all accounts associated with your account.
Once a grading scheme is created for your account, instructors can link the grading scheme to their courses. However, once a grading scheme has been used to assess a student, you cannot edit the grading scheme.
Note: Any grading schemes you create in an account are available to use within sub-accounts.
