Make course total calculate actual score

by Doyle Lewis - Wednesday, August 22, 2018, 2:26 AM

I just installed 3.5.1+. I'm using it as an LTI provider, where I will be linking in at the course level to several activities, and need to get the aggregate grade back.

If I have 4 items, all worth 10 points, and get 10 points on one of the items, I'm expecting LTI to send back a grade of 25%, because that's the portion of the total that I've gotten.

What is shown in Moodle is that I have a 100% grade, so that is what's passed back.

Is there something I can do to change the functionality so that Moodle takes into account the total of scores in the course when it calculates the course total?

In your Grade Book settings...

Have you got the "Exclude empty grades" ticked or unticked?

If only 1 of 4 items have been completed and you get 100% I suspect yours is ticked as this then ignores the empty grades.

I hadn't thought to put everything in a category. Thanks, that was very helpful.
