| == Overview ==
| |
| An outcome item IS NOT an [[Outcomes|outcome]].
| |
| | |
| An outcome item is in most respects the same thing as a [[Grade items|grade item]].
| |
| | |
| The main difference between the two is that the purpose of a outcome item is to rate students on a particular outcome/competency/goal, whereas grade items are used for grading students, usually with the intention of aggregating the results as a measure of the student's performance in the course activities.
| |
| | |
| An outcome item is always linked with an outcome, which itself is linked to a [[Scales|scale]]. The scale may represent a quantitative measure, its values being arranged from lowest to highest; or it may represent a qualitative measure, in which the order of the scale values is irrelevant. The first type can be aggregated, but the second type shouldn't (we wouldn't want to fail a student because her favourite colour is "blue"!).
| |
| | |
| An outcome item may optionally be linked to an activity. This activity may or may not appear in the gradebook (for example, a wiki is usually not graded, so does not appear). Linking an outcome item with an activity creates a grade item with the icon of the linked activity, but there is no other way to see which activity it is linked with. For this reason, it is a good idea to include the activity name in the name of the outcome item (e.g. Wiki 1: Participation).

| |
| === Item name ===
| |
| Usually named after the linked outcome. If linked to an activity, it is a good idea to include that activity's name in the item name (see explanation above)
| |
| | |
| === Outcome ===
| |
| The site or course outcome this item represents in the gradebook.
| |
| | |
| === Linked activity ===
| |
| An optional course activity with which this outcome item can be linked. See notes above regarding the naming of activity-linked outcome items.
| |
| | |
| === Hidden ===
| |
| See [[Grade_hiding]] for info.
| |
| | |
| === Locked ===
| |
| See [[Grade_locking]] for info.

| == Advanced settings ==
| |
| | |
| === Item info ===
| |
| A space for entering information about the item. Text entered does not appear anywhere else.
| |
| | |
| === ID number ===
| |
| Setting an ID number provides a way of identifying the outcome item for grade calculation purposes. If the outcome item is not included in any grade calculation, or if a calculation is not applicable (i.e. qualitative scales), then the ID number field can be left blank.
