The "show" or "hide" dropdown only refers to whether the quiz shows up on the course homepage; so this is not part of the causation.

The reason the quiz score is hidden in the gradebook is because you only have scores checked in the Immediately after the attempt column but leave the other two columns (Later, While the quiz is still open & After the quiz is closed) blank.

A nifty way to think of it is, whatever you have in the Immediately after the attempt should column should be AT LEAST in the Later, while the quiz is still open column and whatever is in the Later, while the quiz is still open column should be AT LEAST in the After the quiz is closed column. See my post here from a past forum post in which I link to a guide I wrote on understanding the Review Options section.

The brief explanation is that you only have Immediately after the attempt checked which only refers to the two minutes following the quiz attempt. So if it is 5pm and the quiz doesn't open til 7pm, then it will be hidden in the gradebook. If a student completes an attempt at 7:15pm, then it will be available until 7:17pm. At 7:18pm, it will become unavailable again. So fill out those last two column and you should be good.

I guess Dan and my original posts didn't answer all your questions because I see you re-posted here. I'll try to break down your multiple questions down separately.

I am comfused about which plug-in to select for our installation the Basic or Direct.  I would like to have access to Peer review - but I hesitate because I cannot get a clear picture of how the teacher accesses the paper after it has been submitted.  Does the teacher still need to create the assignment on the TII site? 

As mentioned in my first post, the teacher creates the assignment in Moodle by selecting the Add an activity dropdown and the selecting TurnItIn. This will redirect them to a TurnItIn interface within Moodle. See video below for an example. Note: This is on my university's Moodle instance so our theme and other settings may be different than yours but the overall steps are the same. We are using the Moodle Basic plug-in.

You didn't ask to be shown this but our university has also created a demo for students on submitting a TurnItIn assignment via Moodle. See below.

Can the faculty access the student papers through the Moodle Assignment? 

Yes faculty can access the student papers through the Moodle assignment. See below for an example.

I'm not familiar with the new rubric capability in 2.x but I'm guessing this actually may be caused by something else. Check to see if you have the grade item locked in the Categories and Items page. If it is locked, grades can't be updated.

I feel compelled to show another example to demostrate why it couldn't be added to core.

This couldn't be added to core because the grade items may not always be as nice as the ones I used in previous examples. Say this was the scenario, two assignments in one category:

  • Assignment 1 - 23 points
  • Assignment 2 - 14 points

and the teacher wants the category to be worth 117 points towards the course total. You could get something that looks like this for a user report:

User Report 117 points

Yes I know I am using random numbers that no intelligent teacher would use but it just goes to show that it technically isn't the average of the grade items that ends up in the category total but the average of the grade items SCALED to whatever is entered as the category total max grade.
