Grades

grades

  • Grades are scores attributed to participants in a Moodle course.

  • The gradebook is a repository of these grades: modules push their grades to it, but the gradebook doesn't push anything back to the module.

  • Grades can be calculated, aggregated and displayed in a variety of ways, the many settings having been designed to suit the needs of a great variety of organizations.
  • Many activities in Moodle, such as assignments, forums and quizzes may be given grades.
  • Grades may have numerical values, or words/phrases from a scale or rating system.
  • Grades can also be used as outcomes and as arbitrary text attributed to each participant in a course.

    • A grade item stores a grade for each course participant, and has settings for affecting these grades.

    • A grade has settings for affecting how it is displayed to the users, as well as locking and hiding functions.
