Note: This article is a work in progress. Please use the page comments or an appropriate moodle.org forum for any recommendations/suggestions for improvement.

Moodle1.9

This evolving page will provide details of proposed improvements to the gradebook in Moodle 1.9.5.

Proposed improvements

• New 'Edit categories and items' page
• Combined category grade item and category edit forms
• Gradebook tabs navigation
• Better gradebook navigation bar / breadcrumb trail

Overview report hidden for teachers

Gradebook with hidden overview report

The overview report lists all the courses a student is enrolled in with the total grade for each course. The report is not relevant for teachers or non-editing teachers.

For new Moodle 1.9.5 installs the view overview report capability is not set for the default teacher and non-editing teacher roles.

For administrators upgrading to Moodle 1.9.5, Simplifying the gradebook provides details of how to change the permissions for teachers and non-editing teachers.

Implementation plan

1. Add details to this page of everything we want in 1.9.5.
2. Get consensus on the proposed improvements from Gradebook forum posters, asking them to find real teachers and run the improvements by them.
3. Notify registered admins and Moodle Partners of the improvements.
4. Merge the changes to 1.9 branch.
5. Remove the development prefix from this page.
6. Publicize the improvements in the moodle.org news forum and elsewhere.
