Manual Grade Items

Moodle automatically adds assignments and quizzes into the gradebook. Additionally, forums can be set to add an item to the gradebook. 

Manual Grade Items are additional entries that are not connected to course activities within the course, and cannot be seen from the course page. These can be added using the Gradebook setup screen.
