Staff Graded Assignment allows you to assign scores to learners for off-platform activities or participation, at the assessment level. It provides a text component with instructions to learners, and a way for you to assign grades.

Enable Staff Assignment#

Before you can add staff graded assignments to your course, you must enable staff graded assignments in Studio.

To enable staff graded assignments in Studio, you add the "edx_sga" key to the Advanced Module List on the Advanced Settings page. (Be sure to include the quotation marks around the key value.) For more information, see Enabling Additional Exercises and Tools.
