Curving a grade in iLearn allows teachers to change the maximum value of a graded item without changing the amount of points a student received.

Example

If you have a quiz called Quiz 1 worth 100 points and Student A received an 80/100, they get an 80%. Using the curve feature of the gradebook, you can change the max value of Quiz 1 to 80. Student A would now have an 80/80, or 100%.

To curve a grade in the gradebook

1. Navigate to the gradebook and select the Setup tab
2. Locate the item you wish to curve and select Edit > Edit settings
3. Select Show more...
   
   
4. Mark the Perform Curve To checkbox and type your new curve value in Curve To
   
5. Select Save changes at the bottom of the page
