1 "XY & Grades"-tab
- The 'Grades'-tab is next to the Info-tab on the righthandside. Thus Tutors and Participants learn its location across objects.
- The 'Grades'-tab has a sub-tabs
- 'Participant' (or similar) for displaying people
- 'Grade Schema' for picking mark scheme and projecting it to grades. Grading should draw values from the same scale (i.e. A-F, 1-6, 6-1, 1-10) across all objects. In the consuming object a scale is selected and than mapped to Passed and the particular outcomes of this very object.
1.1 Normal Columns in Tables
- unify the lables used
- unify the order of coulmns
- use date stamps / last changes consistently
- If "Passed" and "Grade" are both shown the "Passed" will be automatically derived from the Mark. The table fights back if "Passed" and "Grade" are not matching (i.e. "Passed": failed, "Grade": some Grade above Passed-threshold)
- offer user a set of Grade to select from instead of entering text
- strengthen the communicative aspect of grading

- Amend the User Management in the ILIAS Administration in the Settings-tab to include the checkbox "Visible in Grades".
2 Discussion
Grießer, Melanie [mgriesser], March 29, 2017: Thank your for this extensive concept to make these workflows more equal. We gratefully agree.
We would like to suggest the option to have some kind of advanced editor for the comments. My colleagues and I use the commenting feature a lot and also with longer texts. Learners usually profit a lot from a thoroug feedback. For these longer comments it would be really helpful to have some basic style options to make it more user-friendly.
Maybe an option could be included to acitvate the rich text editor for this kind of comments in general?
Kunkel, Matthias [mkunkel], May 16, 2017: Please take into consideration that these new "Grades" screens should also allow to select multiple users and send them a mail or copy them to the user clipboard - as already possible on the learning progress screens.
Bogen, Christian [bogen], May 23, 2017: Matthias kindly told us about the plans for this feature on the ILIAS Süd meeting in Konstanz last Thursday. We, the ILIAS Süd community, of course, would welcome a "gradebook" functionality in ILIAS. We were a bit concerned to hear, though, that the "management" of grading schemas so far only seems to be planed to be done globally in the ILIAS administration. We worry that this will actually hinder the adoption by those users who otherwise would be thought as the target group for this. At least in a university context we’d suspect that this feature would not be used for the "official", the "big" and final grades, but rather in contexts (at least a bit) more informal. But there in our experience at least each faculty, if not sometimes each Lehrstuhl tends to have its own concept of how exactly the grading schema should look like. (There is a reason that at many universities each factulty has their own Prüfungsamt …) So please consider making the administration of grading schemas delegable in a sensible way. (Thank you! :)
