Note: This page outlines ideas for the Animated grade statistics report project. It's a specification under construction! If you have any comments or suggestions, please add them to the page comments.

Original Idea Summary

Use the Flare library to develop some cool and useful visualisation of information in the Moodle gradebook. This can be designed as a Grade Report plugin (grade/report/visual) for Moodle 1.9. To be really flexible and extensible, this should be built in several modular parts: harvesters to collect information (e.g., "grade entered"), reporters to summarize and normalize information, and adapters to feed that information into different visualization engines (so that if anyone ever wants to replace Flare, or if Flare changes, damage will be localized).

Student: Daniel Servos

Mentors: Greg Wilson, Anthony Borrow and Nicolas Connault
