Hi folks,
I'm not sure this is the right forum for this discussion, so please let me know if I'm off base.
We use 3 different "Letter scales" at our institution: one for undergraduate courses, one for graduate courses and one for non-credit courses.
The problem:
We run a lot of courses that require differing "letter scales", so the default "site" Letter scale only helps for about half the courses. We would then have to assign the other Letter scales to each course (somewhere between 200-300) manually. Not a tempting endevour.
Potential solutions:
1. Automate the creation of new "letter scales" for each course - this fills up the grade_letters table with a lot of duplicate entries and isn't all that efficient, but keeps with the existing Moodle architecture.
2. Customize the "Letter scales" section so that it can support multiple "site level" letter scales and assign the appropriate Letter scale to the course. This would centralize the "letter scales" without having a complete letter scale in the grade_letter table for each course.
Looking for other ideas or input - maybe something I've overlooked.
Thank you!
Cheers,
Andy
