Make D2L Grading Easier with the Hypothesis Max Points Feature

Setting up graded Hypothesis readings in D2L just got simpler. The Hypothesis LMS app already allows you to create content items that launch Hypothesis alongside your documents, letting students annotate and instructors grade their work. But one challenge instructors often face is how grades are communicated back to D2L; grading settings can vary across different school environments, which sometimes makes grading less straightforward than it should be.

To streamline the process, we’ve introduced a new feature: Max Points.

What Max Points Does

With Max Points, instructors using D2L can set the maximum points for an assignment directly within the Hypothesis app. This bypasses any conflicting internal D2L settings and ensures the grade you assign in Hypothesis is accurately reflected in D2L. 

How to Use Max Points
