Development:Course automation
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.
Objectives
The addition of a separate course automation component will remove the time dependant logic from the gradebook. It will provide a central location for the configuration of time dependant actions such as hiding or locking grade items until a particular point in time.
The goals of ratings 2.0:
- Provide a central time based action user interface.
- Concentrate time handling logic in a single place.
- Remove time handling logic from other areas such as the gradebook.
Overview
Course Automation provides a UI to:
- Configure grade items to be hidden until a particular date or after a particular date
- Configure grade items to be locked until a particular date or after a particular date

Interface
A time line style visualization of actions would make it easy for the user to understand the sequence of events they have scheduled.
