I am the Moodle Administrator for my local school corporation (K-12). We are currently using a third party grade book application called GradeMachine. The
only reasons we haven't decided to fully switch from GradeMachine to Moodle is due to:
- GradeMachine has reporting features Moodle doesn't possess.
- Training our teachers on using the Moodle gradebook exclusively will be a hassle, not because of Moodle, but because of the Teachers lack of interest.
I have discussed my little problem with my immediate supervisor, who came to the same conclusion: We must create a module/script/application/etc. that will take the grades that Moodle outputs and parse them into a format readable by GradeMachine. As of this posting, I am looking for anyone who has run into this problem and can help. I figure, worse case scenario, I actually write a Python script that will take the data from Moodle and split it into chunks that GradeMachine will handle. I have looked at several modules, but so far they all seem to be handling the grade entry or display of the grades within Moodle. I need something that will export them into a customized report. Now that I think of it, I haven't really looked to see if anyone has created a reporting module for grades within Moodle. That may be the next step from here.
Thank you!
