Using scales for feedback, rating, and
grading
In Moodle, you can use scales to rate or grade forums, assignments, quizzes, lessons,
and workshops. These scales can be used by anyone who is grading or evaluating a
student's work. For example, if a workshop is being graded by other students, then
the students can use the scale selected by the teacher to grade that workshop. Being
able to apply a scale to so many types of activities is a powerful way to make your
courses more interactive and engaging.
Moodle comes with two pre-existing scales. One is called "Separate and Connected
Ways of Knowing". This scale allows students to describe an item as connected to
other knowledge in the course, or separate from the other knowledge. It isn't
useful as a way to grade students, but instead is used to stimulate discussion
about the item.
The other built-in scale that Moodle offers is numeric. You can assign a maximum
number of points, from 1 to 100, to an item. Whoever is rating or grading the item
selects a numeric grade from a drop-down list.
Moodle also allows you to create custom scales. For example, in the following
screenshot, you can see that the student is looking at an activity named
Terminology. This is a glossary that contains terms that the student must
memorize for the course.
