Moodle plugins directory: BTEC marking

Is there any way of comparing students by individual grading criteria, currently only the final grade shows in the gradebook. It is easy to grade individual students, but what I need (and currently keep on a spreadsheet) is to compare what students have done by grading criteria so I can see patterns of what grading criteria by class have not been met. If you can imagine a report where students names are down the side and individual grading criteria, organised by unit, are along the top. Thanks

I have been working on a report that will do something like that recently.

A very useful Plugin we have used extensively. Here's hoping Marcus is looking forward to the challenge that is 2.9 :D

It seems to work fine with 2.9 and I am currently working on some reports and similar stuff for it, using 2.9 as the main test environment.

As before with 2.8, please could you bump the version number so we can install on 2.9?

I already had a BTEC scale create when I first installed this plugin, so it didn't create a BTEC scale. This has never been a problem until now but with your new check built in to determine whether it is using the correct scale or not, it comes back with the warning that its not using the correct scale - its using our BTEC scale not yours. I've renamed our scale but I can't uninstall and therefore reinstall the plugin to get it to create your BTEC scale. Any help would be much appreciated as this a really widely used on our site. Many thanks.

I can think of a few ways around this, however they involve either editing code (i.e. removing that check), or database updates. There is a way of changing a single value in the sourcecode and uninstalling and re-installing the plugin (an undocumented thing). I am happy to talk you through the options etc, you can contact me directly at marcusavgreen at gmail.com

This is an excellent resource which makes BTEC monitoring and grading more accessible through Moodle. Very impressed with Marcus' support getting it running on my site.

@Marcus - Brilliant plugin. Our teachers love it. Is there perhaps a way that the level fields could be made less restrictive (the string in there has to start with P, M or D) since the unit/criteria references in the various BTEC courses include the learning aim letter (e.g. B.1P3)?

Hi Chrisoph
Can you email any of the documentation that uses this convention to marcusavgreen at gmail.com

Useful plugin thanks Marcus - any plans to officially release for 3.3 or above?

The short answer is yes. Email me at marcusavgreen at gmail.com for a slightly longer one....

Hi Marcus, love the plug in and it 'nearly' meets all of my BTEC needs. The issue I've got is that the BTEC scale ((refer(1), pass(2), merit(3), distinction (4)), that the BTEC marking rubric relies on doesn't scale with the credit awarded with these grades in the BTEC RQF framework.

I want to get to the point where lecturers teaching on the new RQF BTECs can:
Mark using the BTEC marking plugin > then the grade awarded can be converted into the correct credit score (dependent on GLH) > and finally the credit can be added together from the Moodle activities to give the correct total credit score & grade within the gradebook.

I have managed to figure everything out except for the first step of utilising this with your plugin for rubric grading. The issue is I need to use a different scale to make the aggregation calculations work across Level 3 qualifications. The custom scale I've created is: Refer(1), , Near Pass(3), Pass(4), ,Merit(6), , ,Distinction (9).

With this scale it makes it easy to use the custom calculations in the gradebook to award the correct amount of credits for each activity.

Any idea how you can get your plugin working with a differnt scale?

Cheers
