This page is the main teacher view of the new gradebook in moodle 1.9.

Basics

The gradebook collects items that have been graded from the various parts of moodle that are assessed and allows you to view and change them as well as sort them out into categories and calculate totals in vaious ways. When you add an assessed item in a moodle course, the gradebook automatically creates space for the grades it will produce and also adds the grades themselves as they are generated, either by the system or by you.

The grades displayed are the raw marks from the assessments themselves, so will depend on how you set those up e.g. an essay out of 36 will appear as how ever many marks that student got. To turn it into a percent, you will have to

Layout

Along the top are several rows: first the course, then the category, then the actual column (e.g. an essay or a category total). When you start off, every essay, quiz etc is in the 'uncategorised' category.

Each section has a small + icon at the top right. Clicking this will collapse the category. clicking the - sign it turns into will expand it again.

Categorising the grades

The 'View' drop down on the upper left will let you switch to other views

  • Edit categories and items will allow you to set up your assessments in different categories e.g. 'classwork', 'homework' etc.

Each category will then have its own 'Category total' column.


Altering the grades

You can click 'turn editing on' at the top right to show an edit icon next to each grade. Clicking on the icon will bring up the editing screen for that grade which will allow you to set the grade, its written feedback and a number of other attributes.

Alternatively, you can click on 'My report preferences' and choose 'Quick grading' and 'Quick feedback' to make the report appear with editable boxes containing each grade, so you can change many at once.

Calculating totals

Rather than a simple average or sum, moodle can perform very complex calculations to produce the totals for each catergory and for the whole course. e.g. you want to take an average of 3 items from one category, double it, then add it to the average of another category.

You can do this using calculations. Either turn on editing, then click 'Show calculations', or go to 'My report preference', choose 'show calculations', then save and turn editing on. You will then see a small calculator icon next to each total column, which when you click on it, will take you to the calculation page where there are instructions.
