Grades from eCampus Navigation

Clicking the item in the Grades page list will take you to the Gradebook list of submissions for this item. The Submissions list is actually built into the assignment or test - as a tab at the top of the item itself. You can access the submissions to be graded from anywhere you can open the item - content area, gradebook, or Grades navigation list.
