Event Logs in Gradebook

Home » My Tools » Grades » Event Logs in Gradebook

Event logs maintain a record of changes made in the Grades tool. The logs can be useful when auditing a grade book, managing updates made by teaching assistants, and discussing grades with students.

What an Event Log Does

  • User Grade event logs record all of the changes made to a particular user’s grades.
  • Grade Item event logs record changes to grades on a single grade item.
  • Final Grade event logs record changes to users’ final grades.
  • Manage Grades event logs record changes made to the properties or restrictions of a specific grade item.
  • Restoring Grade Item event logs record the date and time a grade item is created or removed, and the user who performs the action.

Turnitin recently introduced an AI tool designed to assist instructors in detecting AI-generated content in student submissions. This tool potentially analyzes writing styles and may detect anomalies that could possibly indicate the use of generative AI. However, while this technology represents a significant step forward, caution is advised in its application. It’s important to recognize that the tool is not infallible and may not catch every instance of AI-generated content.  Instructors should not rely on the AI tool to detect AI generated content, but rather, use it as one of several strategies in a comprehensive approach to uphold academic standards and encourage genuine student learning and creativity.
