Monday June 09, 2008 Moodle Moot: Building Courses in Moodle
Building Courses in Moodle
Monday morningThis turned into more of a "here's what's new in 1.9" and lots of very specific questions about more advanced settings. Here are the highlights...
Groupings
Moodle Docs on GroupingsIn Moodle 1.9 onwards, groups may be organised into groupings. Activities and resources may then be assigned to particular groupings.
This is useful if you want to make different activities for different groups. The traditional groups tool will create spaces for different groups that all contain the same activity. For example, the groups tool will create separate groups all with the same assignment. Groupings will let you create different assignments for each grouping.
Grading Discussions
There are new ways to calculate the grade from the ratings for each discussion - addative, average, maximum, minimum, counting.Gradebook
* You can create custom columns (make your own column)* Add feedback to the gradebook
* Outcomes reports (need to do some more research on this)
* Create custom calcuated columns
* There's a lot more to look at here, so there will be more to come...

Thanks for posting Greg, I look forward to reading more updates. I'm surprised to learn that in Moodle <1.8 you couldn't create your own custom columns in the grade book.

Yeah, the gradebook is pretty weak in 1.8. Also, the list above is not a comprehensive list of new features in 1.9. It was just a few things we went over in the workshop.
