| | #redirect [[Gradebook improvements]] |
| | |
| One of the goals of Moodle 2.0 is to improve the '''usability''' of the gradebook introduced in 1.9.
| |
| | |
| The purpose of this page is to present a list of proposed improvements, and gather feedback on these implementations before they make it into this important release. These proposed improvements are based on bug reports and forum posts that have been coming in since the 1.9 release.
| |
| | |
| 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 [http://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?f=397 Gradebook forum].

| ==Common frustrations==
| |
| Below are some of the most often reported usability issues in the 1.9 gradebook, which we are trying to address. Several of these are grouped as sub-tasks under MDL-16913.
| |
| | |
| ===Assigning weights to categories and grade items===
| |
| This is the most common frustration. Weights are used extensively in many institutions, and were used in 1.8. However, they are difficult to understand in 1.9, and difficult to set up. This issue is discussed extensively in MDL-15680.
| |
| | |
| ===Moving items to categories===
| |
| Currently, the [[Edit categories and items]] page lets you move only one grade item or category at a time. It takes two page refreshes and two mouse clicks per move. This is very tedious and time-consuming when many items have to be moved around. MDL-13775 and MDL-12502 address this problem.
| |
| | |
| ===Removing the ''overridden'' attribute of individual grades===
| |
| When grades are imported into an existing gradebook, or when grades are manually edited in the grader report, these grades become [[Grade_editing#Overridden|overridden]], which prevents linked activity modules from updating this grade. Removing this attribute is very time-consuming, since one must enter the edit page of each individual grade, untick the checkbox and submit the form. This issue is discussed in [http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=109636 this forum thread].

| | |
| ===Viewing the overall contribution of each category and item to the course aggregation===
| |
| The tracker issue MDL-13777 reports the difficulty in seeing the contribution of each grade item and category to the course total. Calculations and weights may apply, which are not visible in any of the current reports except in each individual category or item's edit page.

| | |
| ==Patch for Edit Categories and Items page==
| |
| Following is a proposed patch to the '''Edit categories and items''' page in the 1.9 gradebook. It addresses many usability issues while remaining simple
