 * Example of Application of Tool in the Classroom**


 * You do not need to store anything on your computer in order to use the Micrograde E-Gradebook (http://www.chariot.com/micrograde/ ). There is no program to install. All records are stored on one of our central servers. Both faculty and students access their unique records securely using one URL (i.e. "link"): http://www.d.umn.edu/egradebook However, if you wish to keep a file on your computer, you can export each eGradebook from the "Reports" view.
