Introduction

The Marking guide grading report plugin allows teachers and managers to view, for a specific course activity, all the students’ grades and comments for all the criteria from the relevant marking guide used for advanced grading of that activity. This supports standardised grading by providing an overview of all grades and students in one report.

 

When an assignment or forum is graded using a marking guide, there is lots of useful information recorded per student, for all of the criteria used for grading. This information is useful for knowing what areas the student, or students have done well in, for instance, or where their performances may need improvement. Criterion grades may also include specific comments, which can also be very helpful for tracking and supporting learning progression.

 

Instead of only seeing this granular advanced grading information inside each student’s grading page for the activity using Moodle’s core UI, you can now view and download this information for all your students in one go.

 

This marking guide grading report is also conveniently located with the other standard course grade reports.

The activity selection is: Requirements for an accessible image on moodle. The table displays a row for each user and three columns: Student, Assignment 1 (Max grade: 100), and Grade.
