Blocks: NED - Marking Manager
In previous versions of the Marking Manager, the cronjob was used to calculate the number of activities that require grading in all courses. For sites with many courses and/or students, this sometimes meant that the cron job would run for a long time and, as a result, put a strain on server resources. In this latest version, we have made the following changes to address this problem:
- The cron job method has been replaced with a “Manual” option, which allows users to refresh the block only when needed.
- When counting activities, the block will only scan courses where the user has teaching privileges.
- It is now possible to only include courses that 1) reside inside preselected course categories AND 2) have the block installed at the course level. Previously, it was one or the other.
- There is a new option that allows admins to only see courses where they have teaching privileges.
- There is a new option to skip hidden courses when counting activities
- Various bug and format fixes

Dear NED Plugin users: We have been maintaining these plugins for many years and raising funds to keep this work going has been an ongoing challenge, especially in the last couple years. To keep these plugins alive, we must shift to a paid membership model. This decision was not taken lightly, since we value and appreciate the spirit of sharing that is demonstrated daily by the Moodle community at large. But we also don’t want to abandon our plugins and the schools that rely on them. We hope that this move will allow us to improve the quality of our plugins and keep pace with the timeline of the Moodle releases. We are still figuring out the details but it’s likely that we will offer a tiered membership system (ex. different prices for individuals vs schools) as well as options for non-profits. We look forward to updating our current lineup of plugins and to creating new plugins to meet the needs of learners and instructors alike.

At the site level (front page) the Marking Manager block lists all Assignments, Forums and Quizzes that require grading. At the course level, the Marking Manager has 2 parts:
Block: provides quick overview of the number of Assignments, Quizzes and Forums with the following status:
- Requires Grading
- Graded
- Not Submitted
Clicking on these status links will open the marking Interface. The block also contains links to a custom Progress Report (see screenshot below). At the bottom part of the block, a status report shows the number of students that:
- have not logged in for x days
- not submitted actities for x days
- have a overall grade less than x percent
Marking Interface: allows teachers to grade Assignments, Quizzes and Forums within a single interface. This interface consists of a left section, where activites are selected, and and right section, where activties are graded. See screen shots below for more info.

1) When annotating, ".jpg" files open to a blank window, but ".JPG" files open nicely. Does this happen to anyone else? is there a fix or any thought?
2) It would be nice to be able to rotate a submission so that it is more easily be to annotated. Having a picture submission sideways makes it hard to highlight nicely. Could the rotate left and rotate right buttons be added to the annotate bar?
I have been trying to figure out if I have a problem or not, and decided that the way that I am using this might be the issue.
Basically I am doing exam preparation, with a quiz which is randomly selecting questions from a question bank, the problem is that students are able to redo the quiz, many times to gain practice. And I am looking for a notification of this redone quiz for which the student may have already submitted and been marked for this quiz!
I need to manually mark as it is a spoken answer. and the student needs to practice to get better at speaking.
When I first loaded Marking manager, it showed many instances of quizes that needed marking, now it does not seem to be working! Could this be the problem?
How do I trouble shoot this?
Thanks in advance

Any updates do Moodle 3.4?
Ricardo
I understand that the plugin doesnt yet fully support 3.4 but was wondering if you was aware of this issue and if there was a fix coming shortly for it or whether this a bug which wouldn't fix itself in an update?
Thanks Andy
Currently have issues running this plugin on Debian 9 and Moodle 3.4; after sometime the system becomes unresponsive.
The head teacher has found it to be amazingly helpful (to a point, as it needs some fixes) and has asked me to pursue getting it sorted for our organisation.
I've used the contact form twice in the last couple of months but no one has responded.
I don't seem to be able to message Toby Wingfield and the website for NED just says "coming soon" and "building our membership site".
Regards

Because in the way it shows me now, it is by course total, sorts by the course that has the most tasks.
Thank you
