Aspen Gradebook - Visibility Types

Aspen offers three visibility types: Private, Public, and Public -- no grades.  As you create an assignment for your students, you will be asked to set an initial status for the assignment.  The choice is up to you.  

What do each of the Visibility Types mean?

	Private	Assignments do not appear in the Student or Family portals
	Public	Assignments and grades appear in the Student and Family portals
	Public -- no grades	Assignments appear in the portals, but grades do not.

How can I see the Visibility Type of an assignment?

When viewing the Scores page of your gradebook, you will see privacy icons associated with each of the assignments located on the last line of the assignment.  

How do I change the Visibility Type Status?

Clicking on the icon allows you to toggle between the three visibility types.
