The differences between graded and ungraded activities are...

All graded assignments, discussions and quizzes will have a gradebook column.

Remember that all assessments are created using the quiz tool -- whether you call it test, exam, survey, evaluation, mid-term, quiz, etc.

There are 2 types of quizzes --- QUIZ and SURVEY

Ungraded quizzes are called 'practice quizzes'

Surveys can be set to anonymous.

There are 3 ways to add questions to a quiz (or survey):

1. Build a question from scratch from the question tab.

2. Copy a question from an existing question bank.

3. Randomly generate questions from a question bank (i.e. "Select 10 questions at 1 point each from the Chapter 4 question bank).

When it comes to designing discussions...

From the DISCUSSIONS tab, you can pin, delete, or close discussions for comments.

From the DISCUSSIONS settings, you can customize discussion options (threaded, unthreaded, etc.)

From the COURSE SETTINGS, you can determine student experience as it relates to discussions.

There are 2 benefits for grouping assignments...

1. You can weight grades based on groups

2. You can create grading criteria within a group

That's it!
