When a course’s grading system within a learning management system is deactivated, the automated computation of student performance based on assignment scores ceases. As an example, instructors might choose to prevent automatically generated final grades from appearing to students during the course or before all grading is complete.
The ability to suppress grade computation is crucial for maintaining control over information dissemination. This ensures fairness by preventing premature anxiety related to incomplete scores. Historically, such features arose with the increased adoption of online learning platforms, providing instructors with tools to manage student perceptions of progress and performance in a more nuanced fashion.
