    Configuring an activity module to use advanced grading methods<\/span><\/h2>

    Modules that support advanced grading methods have the grading method selector included in their settings form (for example, in the\u00a0Assignment settings<\/a> form). The lecturer can choose either ‘Simple direct grading’ or others method available. Selecting ‘Simple direct grading’ means that the advanced grading is not used and the standard grade selector is displayed.<\/span><\/p>

    An alternative way is to follow the’ Advanced grading’ link in\u00a0Administration > Activity administration<\/i>. The link leads to a page where the current active grading method can be changed, too.<\/span><\/p>

    The form definition and the associated assessment data are stashed when the grading method is changed from one type to another. That means it is safe to change the current active grading method from ‘Rubric’ to ‘Simple direct grading’ and back to ‘Rubric’. The rubric definition is kept in the database, although it may not be available while the current grading method is set to another method.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Rubrics<\/b>\u00a0are an\u00a0advanced grading method<\/a><\/span>\u00a0used for criteria-based assessment. The rubric consists of a set of criteria plotted against levels of achievement. A numeric grade is assigned to each level. For each criterion, the assessor chooses the level they judge the work to have reached. The raw rubric score is calculated as a sum of all criteria grades. The final grade is calculated by comparing the actual score with the worst\/best possible score that could be received.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
