Moodle 2.1

Objectives

The addition of a separate course automation component will remove the time dependant logic from the gradebook. It will provide a central location for the configuration of time dependant actions such as hiding or locking grade items until a particular point in time.

The goals of ratings 2.0:

• Provide a central time based action user interface.
• Concentrate time handling logic in a single place.
• Remove time handling logic from other areas such as the gradebook.

Overview

1. Configure grade items to be hidden until a particular date or after a particular date
2. Configure grade items to be locked until a particular date or after a particular date
3. ?

Interface

A time line style visualization of actions would make it easy for the user to understand the sequence of events they have scheduled.
