Potentially remove grade, gradable functionality as grade items are not created anyway
Closed this issue · 6 comments
The plugin indicates that it supports grading and implements some of the required functionality but not all of it. This is also raised in issue #78
Looking further into the plugin and its usage, I wonder if it should be implementing Moodle GradeAPI at all. https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Gradebook_API
The plugin is missing required equella_update_grades() function. So grade items are never built.
https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/master/lib/gradelib.php#L1378-L1409
This plugin IMO is more about linking to resources in Equella. The current plugin does not provide any method for assessing a student's interaction with an Equella resource or a way to grade that interaction.
I see there is some Equella LTI stuff in the https://github.com/openequella/moodle-mod_openEQUELLA/blob/master/locallib.php but I can't see how any grade data from Moodle could be sent back to Equella if no grade book items exist for Equella resource items.
Thoughts?
Kind regards,
Troy
Hi Troy,
Yes, the focus of the plugin is definitely around the providing of content to Moodle from openEQUELLA - after all, oEQ is a content managements system. So as for the support of grading, I'm unclear as to who uses that or how much.
Where/what context are you using the module?
We work with a tertiary education provider in NZ that uses openEQUELLA as a CMS. We use the Moodle repository and activity module plugins to link resources from openEQUELLA and upload resources to openEQUELLA.
Okay, excellent, so you use case is primarily content. Does having the grading code in the module cause you any specific issues then?
I can potentially work on a pull request to remove the grade functions?
Definitely always welcome pull requests.
Plus, would definitely be interesting to see what this looks like. Just make sure you've also a contributor agreement with Apereo: https://www.apereo.org/licensing/agreements
