Custom Grading - 50% - 50% to lessons and tests

In this example we will create a grading scheme that gives 50% weights to lessons and 50% to tests. 

To create this grading scheme, we will create a % based scheme, with say 70% passing score.

 

Next we will add two categories, one for tests and one for lessons. Both will be given equal weight i.e. 50%.

For tests we will use Average score rule (which can be converted to best scores by using an option in course's properties).

For lessons, we can use 2 different rules

- By using % based points for lessons, and using the formula (COMPLETED_LESSONS/TOTAL_LESSONS)*100 . In this method, we will disregard how many pages each lesson has. We only consider completion of a lesson to affect the score.

- By using sum of all pages in all lessons as denominator (all utube, vimeo, online edited and video lessons are counted as 1 page). we will use the formula (SUM/NGRP)*100 .

Variable SUM represents sum of points in all grading units for this category. And LMS creates one unit for each lesson that has point equal to the number of pages viewed by the learner. So if there are 3 lessons with 2, 3 and 5 pages, there will be 3 records in grading unit, for each lesson, and max point on each unit will be 2, 3 and 5 when all pages are viewed by the learner. SUM in this case can be max 10. The grade score will get updated as soon as learner views a new page in a lesson.
