Template:Moodle 2.0Improving the usability of the Moodle gradebook is one of the main targets for Moodle 2.0.
This evolving page summarises a number of proposed changes, derived from community suggestions since Moodle 1.9.
We would really like your feedback on:
- The changes already proposed here
- Any issues that you feel are not yet addressed
Please join the discussions and post your suggestions in the Gradebook forum.
Stage 1
Changes to be implemented soon, and where possible included in Moodle 1.9.5.
Easier editing of categories and items
- MDL-15680 New "Edit categories and items" page, with hide/show advanced settings button
Grader report alternatives
The Grader report is the main teacher view of the gradebook. The current grader report is a 'proof of concept' i.e. it includes tons of settings. Alternative grader reports can be added as plugins, with visibility controlled by a capability. (The current grader report is controlled by the capability gradereport/grader:view.)
- MDL-17807 Add simple grader report from LSU, with option to scroll grades while students stay fixed
Statistics report
- MDL-13501 (will be resolved by [https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-477 CONTRIB-477]) Animated grade statistics report (GSoC project by Daniel Servos) can be added as a plugin, with visibility controlled by a capability
Stage 2
Changes be implemented at a later date.
Further changes under consideration
- MDL-16381 Do not display hidden activities in the gradebook
- MDL-14831 and MDL-15033 Issues relating to the "Sum of grades" aggregation type
