Open the Gradebook tool using the Main Menu and make sure you’re on the Grades screen.
There are multiple ways to enter grades on this page; you can:
- Select an activity column header to open the Activity Grader, which allows you to enter scores and feedback for every student assigned that activity.
- Select an activity cell for a specific student and enter that student’s score and feedback for that activity.
- Select Enable Quick Edit to make the entire table editable, and enter scores directly into the cells; if you choose this approach, use one of the other methods to provide feedback.
By providing multiple ways to enter grades, Pearson Connexus accommodates different circumstances and grade-keeping styles all in one place.

Quick edit
The Quick edit tool allows you to update activity Scores for a student.
Follow the steps below:
- Select the Enable quick-edit grading button in the toolbar (it is highlighted when enabled as in the screenshot).
- Select a student's score for an activity to activate the editable field and update the Score column.
- Selecting a new cell saves the updated Score.
- Pressing Enter while in a cell saves the Score and navigates to the next editable Score cell for that activity.
When you're done using Quick edit, you can select the tool in the toolbar to disable it.
If you leave it enabled, it remains enabled when you navigate away from the screen, so you can return and continue editing scores. Enabling Quick edit also enables it in the Student Grades screen, so you can navigate between screens to update scores.
