Teams for Education - Categories in the Gradebook

Anonymous

A feature appears to have disappeared from Teams for Education, which we found particularly useful in my school. We were using grading categories when setting assignments, which enabled the teacher and pupil to see their average score for each of the categories. I am a teacher of Modern Languages and categorise each of my assignments so pupils can see where they need to improve. This was a feature that my students and colleagues found extremely powerful, so I would like to know if there is any way this can be reinstated, or if there is a workaround? I have looked to see whether I can get the information through insights it doesn't seem to be possible. I have included an example screenshot below of what I was able to see before.

    Dear Smith Glenn,  

    We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.   

    We completely understand this feature was so valuable for both you and your students. Being able to categorize assignments and track progress in specific skill areas, is incredibly helpful in Modern Languages, it gives students clear feedback on where to focus their efforts. It’s disappointing when a tool suddenly changes or removes functionality that was working well for your teaching. 

    However, There’s no public documentation confirming whether this tool suddenly changes or removes functionality is intentional or a bug. Here is available information about the Assignments in Teams for Education: 

    As forum moderators, we don't have access to the backend systems to effectively fix this due to privacy and security restrictions. We are just organizing use cases and collecting data, including from you, on a daily basis and will continue to monitor the progress of this issue. 

    For this reason, If you are using an education account, the most efficient solution would be to contact your school IT adminto report this issue or create a support ticket from https://admin.microsoft.com/#/support/requests to get confirmation about this feature. And the related supported team will further help you; you will get a more detailed and professional answer to your query there.       

    Additionally, you can ask about it in Microsoft Q&A for Microsoft Teams, and Other users or Microsoft experts might provide insights or workarounds. Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Q&A.Please rest assured I'll be following your thread too, you're not alone. I will continue to learn and support you so that we can find a solution together. 

    I hope this information is helpful. If you have any difficulties when trying these methods or the issue still persists after completing the above, feel free to reach out, and we can further investigate the problem together. 

    If my answer is helpful, please mark it as an answer, which will definitely help others in the community who have similar queries to find solutions to their problems faster.  

    Looking forward to hearing from you.   

    Best Regards,
