    What is the PostEm tool?

    Instructors can use the PostEm tool to upload and distribute a comma-delimited (CSV) spreadsheet to present individual feedback and/or grades to students.

    Instructors can upload as many feedback files as they want. Students only see their own individual feedback and/or grades.

    The PostEm tool provides a convenient mechanism to post comments and grades for those instructors that regularly use Excel spreadsheet files to calculate grades. You might also use it to post class attendance records from a spreadsheet file.

    PostEm CSV files must follow a particular format:

    • The first column of the spreadsheet must contain the student usernames.
    • The first row must contain headings.

    How do I add PostEm feedback?

    Instructors use a comma-delimited (CSV) spreadsheet file to present individual feedback and/or grades to students.  This spreadsheet file must follow a particular format:

    • Your file must be saved in .CSV format. You can save Microsoft Excel spreadsheets as CSV files.
    • The first column of your file must contain individuals' usernames in lower case.
    • The first row of your file must contain headings; every column must have a heading.

    Once you have created your file, you can modify it as you wish, as long as you stay within the guidelines above.

    Tip: You can download a CSV file that includes the student usernames under Gradebook > All Grades > Export as CSV (or from Gradebook2 > Tools > Export).  You can also download a CSV file that includes the student usernames under Roster > Export.
