I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask (perhaps this should go into general development or wish-lists) but here goes...
We use quite a different type of assessment system on our courses. Students complete assignments, activities, practical-tasks, research etc. and then produce portfolios of evidence. These portfolios are then assessed against criteria, leading to grades against various strands of competencies.
We have been using Moodle for some years, and do make use of the assignments and quizzes to assess students. We also assess students use of the forums, choices, lessons etc.
At the moment we cannot use the Moodle gradebook functionality as we would wish. We have created a new scale for our assessment and can then use this to mark individual assignments. But the gradebook cannot conflate these grades into our strands as it makes use of numbers and we do now. (Neither can we just convert our grades to numbers - criteria references assessment does not work like that!)
We want a more flexible gradebook system in which you can create complex rules to produce profiles of attainment. For example, if a student gets grades AABACCDCAAA against 10 assignments we want to be able to produce a profile that, for example, give the student an overall assessment of A (for strand 1, based on assignments 1, 2, 8 and 9) and C (for Strand 2, based on assignments 5, 6 and 7).
We also want to be able to grade other moodle activities. At the moment an assignment has to be a piece of work that is typed or uploaded or something completed offline. Assessment can be based on so much more.
Just some initial thoughts to get ideas going I suppose.
Any responses??
