What types of grades can I put in D2L

There are five grade types available in D2L. The grade type is selected when creating an item. The vast majority of users only select Numeric.

Numeric: The most common column type is numeric. Use this type to manually control the number of points a student receives (for example, 8/10 or 75/100).
Checkbox: Use the checkbox type if you wish to give students either full or no credit. Note that for a 0 to appear in the gradebook, the checkbox must be selected and then unselected.
Selectbox: When a special grade scheme is created, such as letter grades, the selectbox provides a dropdown menu of the available options. Note that the selected item is added into the final grade based on the lowest percentage listed in the grade scheme for that item.
Text: A text type of grade item allows you to enter text for students to view. Text column types are not included in grade calculations. Text grades cannot be exported or imported.
Calculated: The calculated column type lets you select a number of existing grade items to calculate a running total of students scores. This is useful for showing students how they are doing within a type of item, such as quizzes, assignments, or tests. Calculated columns are not counted towards the final grade since the individual items are already included.
