Moodle in English: Non-assessed items in Gradebook

Non-assessed items in Gradebook

Hi All,

I have an issue where it appears that non-assessed items like practice quizzes, H5P, forums etc are impacting assessment totals in the gradebook, or at least I think that is what is causing the issue?

The issue we have is that in the gradebook, some students have a dash (-) where their grade total should be, whereas others have 0.00, where they should have a dash, and vice versa.

Ultimately, how do we eliminate non-assessed items showing in our gradebook? We have looked in common module settings etc, and they are not being assigned IDs, like you would with assessed items.

Appreciate that might not be very clear, but any thoughts or ideas greatly welcome!

Thanks,

Neil

On the Moodle Documentation page for the gradebook there is some helpful information about creating a new Grade category and then moving the "non-graded" items to that Grade category.
1. At the Course Administration pane, select Gradebook setup
2. Add a category. At the Grade category section the Exclude empty grades checkbox must be deselected.
3. Adjust the weights Grade Items/100.
4. Hide the Grade Items
5. Hide the Grade Category.
6. Select Grades. Only students that have completed all activities will have a summed grade. Only the summed grade is displayed on a Student’s Grade report.

I recommend that you restore and backup one of these courses to a "hidden" course category and experiment with the gradebook on a "non-live" course.
Kind regards
