| ==Original Idea Summary==
| |
| Use the [http://flare.prefuse.org/ 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).

| ==Status==
| |
| *Developing Specs
| |
| | |
| | |
| ==Core Functions==
| |
| *Developed as a grade report plugin for Moodle 2.0 and then back ported to 1.9.X
| |
| *Provide additional statistics about grades:
| |
| **Highest
| |
| **Lowest
| |
| **Average
| |
| **Median
| |
| **Mode
| |
| **Standard Deviation
| |
| *Have report viewable or not by roll in class (required roll to view set by teacher.)
| |
| **Possibly have advanced setting to set each statistic or graphic viewable by roll in class.
| |
| *Visualisation of statistics and grades in graphs and charts using flare.
| |
| **Option to turn use of flare on/off (thus turning off visualisations) for browsers with out flash or slow connections.
| |
| *Statistic for both incomplete and complete assignments included in calculations or option to determine how incomplete assignments are treated.
| |
| *Ability to export statistics.
| |
| *Some level of customization for statistics and graphs in report.
