Gradebook sanity arrives in September

Enhancements Coming to the Gradebook in Moodle Courses
Changes to the 'Grades' tab in Moodle LMS rolling out in September.

Beginning with the September 2021 term, students in online courses will see a current average of their graded assignments that is more reflective of their course progress to date.

Previously, scores under the 'Grades' tab were calculated based on all assignments even before they were due. This included assignments that were yet to be submitted with zero ("0") placeholder scores. Students will now get a clearer picture of where they stand as their course progresses based on the assignments they have submitted. Beginning with the September term, the displayed grade will be weighted only against the assignments that were due up to that point.

This change in the Moodle LMS assignment grading system will begin for students enrolled in the September term. Students currently enrolled in June, July, and August 2021 terms will complete their courses under the former structure. To familiarize enrolled students with the new format, the University has integrated a visual tour in the 'Grades' section of Moodle courses.

This message arrived in my inbox this morning. I'm thrilled that TESU is FINALLY making this change. Now it will be much easier to understand grade status.
