Maybe what our music and speech teachers do to assess their students performing a practical assessment that they score by observing will help.

Some of our Music Instructors have been using the Assignment activity and adjust the Assignment settings submission type to be offline(just untick the two types). Similar to what our Speech teachers do so that they can score a speech presentation.

Then they used Moodle Advanced grading methods either the Rubrics or Marking guide to create how they are scoring the performance. Depending if the assessment method is looking at different type of instrument use (wind, brass, percussion, etc..) the teacher creates groups for different scoring.

Of course for speech presentations this works efficiently because the student typically are giving their speech in front of the class. However for music it is not as efficient because these are done individually with the instructor so they can observe the posture, pitch, placement of instrument and other musical criteria. So I am hoping that they start to experiment with the new feature of audio/video recording submissions in the Assignment activity. Of course there are many nice plugins like Poodl that allow audio/video submissions.
