Workshop

That's obscure.

Agree.

at least assign those "hint" values as defaults on the initial save?

It's not that easy. As the number of assertions in the form may vary with every save, you can't just generate some initial mapping on the first save and keep it. If another assertion was added, the mapping would not correspond any more. And we can't decide whether the previously saved mapping was the default linear one or an intentional one.

Hmm, actually we can. Instead of the whole mapping form, there could be just a single checkbox "Use default linear errors/grades mapping", checked by default. Only after the teacher unchecks it, the mapping form would be displayed and the teacher would become responsible for providing the mapping table. I expect most of teachers use the default mapping anyway.

Thanks for rising this!

Hi Ivan,

what a coincidence - I am just solving the very same issue with a Czech user in the Czech Moodle community forum. Yeah, unfortunately there is no simple way to let Moodle to recalculate the grades. The thing is, individual grades from peers are calculated and stored at the moment when the assessment form is saved by the student. The only thing you can do now once you have fixed the mapping table is

• Have the workshop in the Evaluation phase
• Use the "Clear assessments" tool. It will mark all submissions as not assessed - yet it does not remove the allocation (who is assessing who) and how the assessment forms were filled
• Switch the workshop back to the Assessment phase
• Let students to re-save the assessments forms (or you, as a teacher/admin, have to go and log in as every student and do that on behalf of them.

I am really sorry about this, I am aware it's an important usability issue and should have been fixed ages ago.
