  1. Access your YuJa account by selecting Course Tools on the course navbar, then selecting YuJa Video at the bottom of the drop-down menu. A new tab will open with the instructor’s personal YuJa Media Library.

  2. Select the Sync Gradebook button > On-Demand LMS Quiz Gradebook Sync. This will sync all of the quiz grades with the Brightspace gradebook.

    1. If the instructor wishes to just sync one student’s mark, they can do so by clicking the checkbox next to the student’s name then selecting the Sync Gradebook button > On-Demand LMS Student Gradebook Sync.
