| {{Forums}}Forum ratings allow users to evaluate posts in a forum.
| | #redirect [[Using_Forum]] |
| | |
| Forum ratings use [[Scales]] to standardize the reporting of performance. A forum rating can be included as part of a student's [[Grades|grade]]. For example, a teacher might use a custom rating scale in a forum and allow students to rate forum posts.
| |
| | |
| Forum ratings must be allowed and the potential rater must have [[Roles|role]] permission. [[Teachers]] by default have this ability. The teacher role is also able to give permission to a [[Student|student role]] in a specific forum to be able to assign a rating to a post. Forum settings and [[Forum_permissions#Enabling_students_to_rate_posts| Enabling student ratings]] has more information.

| ==How to use==
| |
| [[Image:Forum rating example1 mu.png|thumb|Teacher view of a previously rated student post]]When rating is allowed, the qualified user will see "Rate this post" and a pull down menu after an entry (not their own). The menu displays a [[Scales|scale]] that the forum creator selected in the [[Adding/editing_a_forum#Grade|Forum grade settings]]. The user can rate more than one post at a time. When finished they should click the "submit my ratings" button at the bottom of the page.

| ==AJAX forum rating==
| |
| | |
| {{Moodle 1.9}}In Moodle 1.9.4 onwards, forum rating can be made more user-friendly with the use of AJAX. If AJAX forum rating is enabled, users can rate forum posts almost instantly without needing to scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "Send in my latest ratings" button.
| |
| | |
| To enable AJAX forum rating, login as an administrator and check the ''forum_ajaxrating'' checkbox in the [[Forum settings]] (via ''Administration > Modules > Activities''). AJAX also needs to be enabled in ''Administration > Appearance > [[AJAX and Javascript settings|AJAX and Javascript]]'' and in [[Edit profile|user profiles]].

| ==Tips and Tricks==
| |
| *Not all your students are seeing stars? It is all about their browser settings, language and installed fonts.
| |
| **If this is a problem, stick with the basics in the scale you use. Perhaps create a scale that uses both numbers and words.
