New scale (based on 5) on Grade Book.

Hi everyone.

We are trying to change the info in grade book of Moodle 1.7.5

Our university uses a scale based on 5 points and 2 decimals. Moodle allows me to assess based on 100 points. Besides, our teacher are confortable to assess based on 100 points which is convinient for them.

However, its mandatory to show the values based on 5 points and 2 decimals.

We thought many things and we believe the fastest way is create a column in the report next to values based on 100 points, the values calculated based on 5 points though this formula:

Grade(BasedOn5) = 0.05*Grade(BasedOn100)

We think that when Moodle brings values based on 100 points, we can make "on fly" the conversion and show the new value.

Another way could be show next to the value based on 100 points, show a small value between brackets whith the new value based on 5 scale.

We are looking the "../moodle/grade/*" directory.

Any suggestions about it?

Thanks a lot.

José Gregorio.

Hi José,

The easiest way to do this would be to upgrade to v1.9.x - from what I understand about your requirements the (significant) Gradebook revisions in 1.9 will do everything you want to do with little in the way of effort. Save you having to re-invent the wheel.

Hope this helps,

Mark.
