Question: meaning and usage of Grading & Rating #19

Closed nadavkav closed 10 years ago

nadavkav commented 10 years ago

Looking at the code I see that the rating feature is disabled https://github.com/moodleou/moodle-mod_forumng/blob/master/lib.php#L339

Although it is visible in the forum's setting menu together with Grading.

What is the difference?

I also have two similar elements on the form: (1) section: ratings -> scale (listbox) (2) section grading -> gradingscale (listbox)

What is the difference/affect on the users's final gradebook grade?

Forumng has it's own internal rating system - this is why you see a rating option in the settings.

This picks up system grading scales as the options (e.g. rate a post out of 5 or rate as 'Helpful').

You can use the data from the user's ratings to populate the gradebook grade (this doesn't use the scale - scales are used for manual grading only).

So you can have ratings that are not graded.

Hope that explains things.

Thank you for making it clear.
