LBCC System Administrators Don't Grade Student Work!

An issue surface recently where a student expressed concern to their instructor when it appeared a Moodle System Administrator graded their work in an Assignment in their Moodle course:

We did some research and discovered that ​when an instructor makes a grade setting change for a Moodle Quiz, Assignment, etc., the system runs a regrading process that is configured to show the System Administrator, rather than the instructor performing the regrading action. In no circumstance does an LBCC Moodle System Administrator grade student work.

Moodle Course Dashboard - Needs Grading

Instructor question:

I'm still getting used to using the grader in Moodle (I used the Joule Grader in the past).  The Joule grader "told me" when someone resubmitted an assignment.  I assumed that the one we have now would do the same.

I knew that this student resubmitted because she told me she did.  But I can't see anything in the assignment submission list that tells me there has been an updated submission.  (I'm concerned because I know that other students have resubmitted as well and now I don't know how I can track them).

Can you take a look and let me know if there is a way to figure this out?

Click the settings gear in the upper right > Open Reports:

Then select the "Needs Grading" report from the "Dashboard" dropdown menu:

See the informational notice Moodle provides:

The Needs Grading report shows you what is ready for grading. It lists each student and their activities that need grading. Select Grade now to grade the activity.

Use the filters to expand or narrow your view. You can send messages to students you see in the report. Select the student and the option to send them a message from the Action menu.

Moodle Course Total Not Visible

When students tell you they can see grades for individual graded activities, but not a category total or the course total grade, and you have confirmed that the totals are set to be visible on the Categories and Items page, you need to check adjust the following gradebook preferences:

1. Go into the Moodle course Gradebook and click the "Setup" tab. This will take you to the Categories and items page.

2. On the Setup sub-tabs, click Course grade settings. This will take you to the Course grade settings page.

3. Under "User report," change the Hide totals if they contain hidden items drop-down menu to the appropriate setting:

4. Click the "Save changes" button.
