AJAX Marking Block
Please note: This plugin is no longer supported for newer versions of Moodle, and I'm afraid I don't have the time to give it the full rewrite that it really needs. Sorry
The aim of this block is to avoid having to search through each of your courses to find out whether there is anything that needs marking.
When placed on the front page, it shows teachers how many pieces of work need to be attended to, broken down by course, or by cohort. The list then expands when clicked to show individual modules and students. When you click on a student, a pop-up opens, allowing the work to be marked and saved, then the block updates itself to show one less item in need of attention.
The block has been thoroughly tested on a copy of a large university database with >50,000 users and has been optimised so that it doesn't impact on DB performance at all.
Current status is that the development is paused (bug fixes only) whilst I work on other urgent projects. Once the Moodle logging 2.0 proposal in core is built and released, there will need to be a complete rewrite to make it maintainable for the future, but that is some way off.
If you want to stay current, follow @AJAX_Marking on twitter, which has general information about new features etc.

I can't even get to the main page, when I try and log on I get that page. Have any ideas?I wonder if I should delete then turn on the the debugging then install again?
Release date Wednesday, 13 June 2012, 07:14 AM.
In the courses I activatet it. There will be a blank page (nothing is visible) . All other courses are visible. If I deactivate the block in the admin site, the course is visible.
@Jurg, @Paul I have a fix for the linked issue and will sort it later tonight.
I have installed the latest release of Ajax Marking Block 2.20b7 and continue to have problems with the plugin not displaying the submissions in many of the courses. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've noted that this plugin uses yui2 libraries.
Do note that moodle version 2.4 (in development) has moved from using yui2 to yui2in3 as described by MDL-34741.
Here is a link to using yui2in3 : http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/yui/yui-yui2.html
I've installed the newest version and it's working fine now. Sorry I didn't get back to you with the debug report in June. Now that I've worked with it for a couple weeks, I have a feature request. I often have students resubmit work. It would be nice if marking block notified me when the student submission date was more recent than the last feedback from the teacher, even when the student already has a grade for that assignment.
I really like the block, but we can no longer use it on our site, which is probably "large" (7000 users, 1000+ assignments with 150,000+ submitted assignments). It simply brings the database (MySQL 5.5.27 under Debian) to a halt. Any idea/advice?
