Simple direct grading

The simplest and most straightforward grading method is to assign activity grades to participants directly in the Moodle gradebook.

Calculated and automatic grading

A more dynamic direct grading method can be applied by using an activity grade calculation. You can enter a formula consisting of certain patterns. Whenever the values of these patterns change during the activity, the Dataform will update the activity grades.

A special pattern ##numentries## allows for automatic grade upon submission of entries. For example, if you select grade scale 5 and set the calculationn to ##numentries##, the grade of a participant will be updated on every submission of a new entry to a max grade of 5 points. A useful application of this feature can be to restrict access to course activity until participants accepted terms by opening and submitting a an entry in a designated Dataform activity.
