Centrally Administrating Mark Schemas

1 Initial Problem

Manually created mark schemes in objects forbid the aggregation of marks. 

2 Conceptual Summary

Administration > Marks and Grading 
This new node offers an option to configure a global mark scheme: Administrators could devise

• how many steps the mark scheme should comprise
• how the steps are labeled (Number, short form, official form)

Every scheme need to project itself to another scheme.

The settings should not change existing objects but merely apply to newly created ones. 

• Old object can be swichted to new ones. 

Within new gradable / markable objects these global settings should be presented in the respective tabs and tables. This must however not screw up old results of pre-existing objects.

7 Discussion

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! :)

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], July 24, 2017: We like the suggestion but it needs some more shaping.

• Please describe the screen of the mark schema sub-tab and how the mapping works.
• Please add a percentage column to the screen in 3.2. Sorting of lines should follow the percentages.
