[Building Sakai] Do any schools use multiple grading bases in the same gradebook ?

[Joshua Swink]

No... that sounds like a situation we don't encounter. Is this like having
a grade for the main course, and a separate grade for the lab, and handling
it all in one course site? Because we handle that by requiring a separate
site for the lab.
