Has anyone devised a way to integrate or emulate a grade book within a course? My use case is a multi-week virtual class where there are various activities the learner needs to complete. The activities are a mix of videos, graded assignments, eLearning, discussion forums, and quizzes. Ideally, the combined number of points earned on each activity would determine the learner's grade. The total grade would determine if they passed or failed the course. So more of a school model than a corporate training model. The only method I've been able to identify is to use prerequisites in the training materials. But this is very restrictive and proscriptive, and doesn’t base completion on the overall points earned.

Hi @pjensen we have a similar situation for some of our programs and have opted to use the Scoring options (with a little math) > Summary of scores to tabulate the total for the entire course...perhaps you can try that and see if it works for…

Example:

  • Users are part of a cohort that has assignments users need to submit which equals a total of 40 points
  • Users must attend a session and participate in Channel discussions. We created a 1 question test that grants 10 points where they confirm they have participated
  • Final exam has 100 questions where each question is worth 0.5 pts for a total of 50 points

The total for all parts = 100 points so the total score is akin to an overall percentage score.

You can build the training materials in different ways to reach your total score. What’s important to remember is to use objects that can be scored such as Assignments, Tests, or single question tests that have question that require evaluations (short answer, long answer, etc.), SCORM and so on.

 

Hope you can find this useful.
