  Ecto allows you to automatically grade multichoice questions and flashcards. Grading of other types of learning items must be done by the group owner but doing it in Ecto can make it easier. If you are organizing and administering your entire course in Ecto, you will also want to take advantage of Ecto’s gradebook, attendance, visit tracking, and roster management features.
