for Instructors and Designees
Miscellaneous questions
- What is a Designee and how do I set one
up?
- A Designee is someone that
is given permission to manage an Instructor's eGradebook for a specific
unique number. See the Add or delete
a designee tutorial for assistance with setting one up.
- What browser should I use to work within
eGradebook?
- Recommended browsers with links to download the latest versions follow:
- On a Windows machine (PCs), we recommend:
Internet
Explorer version 5.0 or higher, Firefox
1.05 or higher, Mozilla
1.7 or higher
On a Macintosh machine, we recommend:
Firefox 1.05
or higher, Mozilla
1.7 or higher, Safari 1.2
or higher.
These can also be downloaded from the Bevoware
Web site.
Note: It's not recommended to use IE on Macintosh
since it is no longer supported by Microsoft.
- I teach multiple sections of the same
course and have assigned my TA as a Designee. Why does she have access
to only one section?
- Your TA must be authorized for each section in which you would like
them to be Designee. Adding or removing a Designee to multiple sections
at once can be done from the Registrar’s Add
or remove a designee page.

to the eGradebook development team?
- Send an e-mail to egb@utlists.utexas.edu

- What's the difference between eGradebook
and the grade book on Blackboard?
- The primary distinction between Blackboard and eGradebook is that
Blackboard is a course management package whereas eGradebook is only
a grade management tool. For more information, please visit our comparison
page.
- What URL should I provide to my students
so that they can view their grades?
- Regardless of whether you are a faculty member, TA, or student, the
URL for eGradebook is https://utdirect.utexas.edu/diia/egb/
.
