Gradebook

Nathan, and Moodlers,

I'm in support of these gradebook changes as well.

Being able to edit in place, and easily click and drag items would make the gradebook interface much more user-friendly for our faculty. Also, having the grade aggregation type hidden behind an edit link associated with the course name is confusing. Faculty don't know where to look for it. Adding it to the edit link next to the course total would be more intuitive.

As the order of the activities gets "out of order" over time, and the list gets a little but chaotic, when compaired to the actual sort order of the activities in the course front page, we added the following features:
1. Next to each activity, inside brackets, the name of the topic/section in which the activity is available in.
2. A new button "Auto sort" all the activities in the same order as they are available on the course main page


If this is something that others will like to have too, I would be happy to uploaded the patches to the tracker.

I agree with the suggestions Nathan has listed above.
Anything to make Moodle more user-friendly/intuitive and less guess-work will benefit all who are involved.
Thank you,
Susan
 

Outstanding post, I heartily agree. Some related features I asked for now nearly 8 years ago (like Outcomes displaying to Students!) but while 'pedagogical' and 'data' aspects receive attention, core learning-administration aspects like the Gradebook seem sometimes to get overlooked. If an institution uses Moodle as the all-encompassing system that it's intended to be, rather than just as a pool of links, then the Gradebook is the absolute epicentre of all that activity so it would be great to see this stuff prioritised.
