MicroGrade Training |
SBCC has upgraded its MicroGrade
(MG) site license from Chariot
Software to version 5.0.3. As a full-time or adjunct SBCC instructor, you
are eligible to use this gradekeeping and class management software on Campus
and at home (for SBCC classes only). The new version of MG has enhanced
reporting features, including the ability to email student performance data and
post reports to the Web. The new version of MG can read and convert old MG
class files; however older versions of MG can not process MG files created in
the new version.
If you would like a home copy of
MicroGrade, you must check-out an installation CD from the Faculty Resource Center. MicroGrade
training is offered in the Faculty Resource Center each semester.
How to obtain and install your on-campus copy of the new MG
MG is available for both the Macintosh and Windows platforms; class files created on one platform can be moved to another platform. However, a common default font should be designated, and file names should adhere to the 8.3 DOS naming conventions (e.g. no spaces). Files may be transported over a network or via a DOS formatted diskette.
Importing SBCC electronic rosters: Each semester the Information Resources Division makes available 2 sets (first & third week) of class rosters in electronic format.
