Revision of Mark Presentation

Page Overview

[Hide]

1 Description

There are several aspects in the presentation of marks in ILIAS tests that should be revised:

  • The field "Mark" in a test's learning progress doesn't contain the mark determined by the mark schema but only the mark entered in the learning progress itself:<br>This is because the learning progress is a cross-type functionality that isn't affected by the settings of an object it reports on.<br>A generic solution should contain the following aspects:
    • The field "Mark" in the learning progress can only be edited by a tutor if the object reported on doesn't feature marks itself. In objects such as tests and exercises, it adopts the mark from the object.
    • In tests, it contains the mark determined by the mark schema.
    • In exercises, it's more complicated as there are marks for every single assignment.<br>Provided that marks are always numerical entries, the overall mark could be a figure calculated from those single marks, i.e., the average of all assignments:
      • For which a contribution has been made
      • Which have been graded by a tutor
      • Which feature a mark.
  • There could be a new functionality "Mark Book", i.e., a repository object that might be used for several purposes:
    • Collecting marks from different objects
    • Offering an overview of existing (and still missing) marks for a user or an object
    • Offering certificates showing all of those marks for a user and maybe an average
    • Offering statistics like averages for groups of users
    • Providing a "Passed" status according to specific settings (e.g., in Germany a school class is failed if a pupil has the worst mark in one subject or the second worst one in to subjects)
    • Serving as a precondition for the access to other objects
