Moodle 2.0

Improving 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:

1. The changes already proposed here
2. 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.

Edit categories and items advanced settings

Easier editing of categories and items

• MDL-15680 New "Edit categories and items" page, with hide/show advanced settings button

Grader report alternatives

Simple grader report from LSU

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

Stage 2

Changes be implemented at a later date.
