moodle-mod_observation

This plugin allows easy management of observational assessments.

These assessment usually involve an 'observer' (such as a teacher, tutor, supervisor, etc) and an 'observee' (student, employee, etc). The observer watches the observee as they do a process (such as pour drinks at a bar or play piano), recording if they completed certain 'observation points' during the process.

These 'observation points' could be key assessment criteria, such as health and safety requirements or specific processes the observee must do. Currently three different types are supported: Pass/fail, Text feedback, and File upload (e.g. images). Observers can record a response and assign a mark for each point.

After an observation session is complete, marks and feedback are stored in the Moodle gradebook for review.

This plugin also supported a timeslot management system, allowing timeslots to be created, assigned to observers and joined by observees - notifications included.

Branches

This plugin has been tested on Moodle 3.9 and 3.5. Other versions are only assumed to be supported.
