Case 1

Case 2

Case 3: One student sits a quiz late. There is not way to view all this student's manually gradable questions on one page. They must be done one at a time. Have you seen https://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversions.php?plugin=quiz_gradingstudents--Tim Hunt (talk) 17:34, 13 August 2014 (WST)

Quiz printing

There is debate about this. (Save trees etc) but the fact remains: sometimes it is a lot easier to have a quality print view, for instance for moderation of questions, proofing, reviews and to print a copy of a quiz when the regular technology lets us down.

Consider some very very popular available additional plugins for inclusion into Moodle core

There is a list of the top 20 plugins downloaded from the Moodle plugins database, in both the last year and the previous two months, at https://moodle.org/plugins/stats.php.

If MANY Moodle admins have been downloading the same plugins for several months, I think that means they have found/heard/read that this plugin is useful, and it would surely benefit a large number of other users if these plugins were already part of the Moodle core.

I reckon that adding one additional plugin into core would likely require a considerable amount of the scarce Moodle HQ programmers time, but the number of people who will benefit from this inclusion (I think) is sure to be very high (just look at the numbers in the plugins database stat page). Moodle HQ might choose which plugin is either:

• mature enough
• highly rated
• small in size
• well written
• well documented
• well maintained
• a usability improvement
• in agreement with the Moodle roadmap

to make a good choice of one plugin every major release (every 6 months). German Valero (talk) 22:08, 21 August 2014 (WST)

A great idea German!! I'm going to make a post about this at some stage in one of the forums on Moodle.org. --Derek Chirnside (talk) 04:49, 27 August 2014 (WST)

Adding an improvement issue in the Moodle tracker and getting votes for it is not an easy thing to do for most of us mere mortal part-time Moodle admins in the word :(

Fix Moodle's unatractive look and feel (theme)

The Essential theme has a great review and has been extremely popular (it is the most downloaded link for the past year) and seemingly well maintained. I'd vote for it :) . German Valero (talk) 22:08, 21 August 2014 (WST)

Fix Moodle's lack of a properly built-in grading tool

As described by https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=186227#unread, ll other LMS systems the author has worked in let you see all the work that needs to be graded in the course.

One additional plugin that works extremely well and has a great review is the AJAX Marking block . However, since Remote Learner no longer lets their customers install blocks on their own, many Moodle users can't install this block. It this plugin were included in Moodle core, Moodle core would have a teacher-friendly functionality that most other LMS currently have.
