Has anyone out there in Moodleland had any experience of using the Gradebook to grade and record assignments used in the 'Access to Higher Education' courses found in the UK.
For those who are not familiar with the courses, they use a sort of Rubric system to grade the assignments with a series of Grade Descriptors completed at Pass, Merit and Distinction levels, which is straightforward enough, but the overall score for an assignment is found by taking the list of the Passes, Merits etc and putting them together in a list. This means that an assignment with, for instance, 8 Grade Descriptors might be graded 'PPPMMDDD'.
The final grade given to the assignment is the middle one in that list, in this example that would be 'M' (Wacky I know, but I didn't invent it!!!)
Does anyone have any experience of this method or any idea whether a Moodle Rubric can be used to record at least the list of Passes, Merits etc? I can't see anyway that the calculation of points can be used to give the result.
Any ideas?
