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.
The grading window does not include a "Revert to Draft" button (as seen in the Assignment grading dialog). I don't know if this is a result of the Javascript error or something different. In any case, I would really like to see the Revert to Draft button. I use it frequently.
The only way this works is if you mark the assessment NYS, and then navigate through your course, to that particular assessment, to revert it back into draft so that the student can resubmit.
Ideally, you would wan't to both, Save the comments/grade, and also have the ability to Revert back to Draft within the same window.
@Brian - This is the intended behaviour, so if you're finding it doesn't do this then it's broken. I did change some code around visibility recently, so maybe that's the issue. I'll take a look and see if I can reproduce it.
@최 병우 - If you'd like to see a Korean version, please fork the project on github, then translate the language strings in /lang/en/block_ajax_marking.php into korean, resave them to /lang/ko/block_ajax_marking.php and send me a pull request. Here's an example: https://github.com/mattgibson/moodle-block_ajax_marking/pull/1 More info here: http://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Translation
@Phillip - What version are you using? I released a new version the day after your message, which I think fixes this. If stilla problem, please file a bug and I'll get right on it.
@Serge - I'll look into this. I thought I'd made 'revert to draft' save any feedback that had been added, which would definitely be the desired behaviour, as you suggest.
I uploaded the Ajax marking block and I am receiving a message AJAX marking block /blocks/ajax_marking Extension 2012060503 To be installed
thank you for any help

@Christina - That sounds like a normal part of the plugin install process. You should see a 'continue' button underneath, which will allow you to carry on. Please let me know if this is not the case.
