AJAX Marking Block

Maintained by Matt Gibson
Shows a teacher all of the unmarked work which has been submitted by their students across all of the courses they teach in. It's most useful when placed on the front page, and it allows the work to be viewed and graded through a pop-up interface, which then updates the block once the work is marked.

We have something very similar to what Jim reports happen - not all assessment that do need marking are showing for all the teachers in that course area (we dont use groups). We also have over 800 assessments as showing as needing marking but they are already marked. If a teacher clears them by pressing 'save' it only removes them from their marking list, not other teachers in the same area. So it seems perhaps there are still some bugs?? Also missing greatly the 'save and revert to draft' button from earlier versions.
Hi Mat
I have reinstalled the block and it now appears correctly... Is there a limit on the number of assignments that can be picked up in one course?? I have one course that has 36 individual assignments but the block only shows approx. half of them.. I have done the checks mentioned such as being in the groups the students are in as teacher, checking the assignments are all the same type and settings, checking that the groups are ticked in the block and that some work has been submitted using the submit button but they still don't appear in the block.... Has anyone else got this working for a course with a large number of assignments??
Any ideas??
Cheers
Jim
Hi Mat
I turned on the errors as you said. On the front page there doesnt appear to be any errors but when I go into a course the following errors appear at the top of the screen:

I am using the theme ZEBRA for outr system. I tried changing it to the default theme but the same thing happens.
Hope this helps!!!

@Χρήστος Τζέτζιας All the three categories are to marked. The difference is how long ago they were submitted. You probably want to pay attention to the oldest ones first so that the students get timely feedback.
@Jim Not sure why that would be. I'll try to reproduce it. Can you try with debugging turned up to developer level and display_errors set to on? There may well be a conflict with something.
Hi! Thank you very much Matt for sharing this block!
I've installed it in our moodle site. It seems to work fine, but it shows only three categories: recent, medium and overdue. Is there a "to be marked" notification? (I thought there would be one)
Hi Mat
Many Many thanks for doing this - Fabulous block...
Ive installed the block on our system but it doesnt show up in the Add Blocks drop down for any user whether admin or user....
Our moodle version is Moodle 2.4.1+ (Build: 20130131) which Ive recently updated..
The block seemed to install ok and Ive checked the file in blocks area - correctr structure etc. I downloaded it from here and also the github link..
Any ideas??
Cheers
Jim
I've fixed the AMOS strings stuff so translators can now add language strings for the block on lang.moodle.org.
New version added that works on 2.4. Let me know if there are any issues. Apologies for the wait!
@Yvonne I haven't built in support for the Turnitin Assignment type yet, I'm afraid.
2.4 is nearly ready - just getting the new assignment module to save properly. Won't be long!
Hi Matt,
I love the marking block, unfortunatly it doesn't work in 2.4 any change on a update, or am I the only one having this trouble.
I migrated from 2.3 to 2.4.1, in 2.3 the marking block worked.
I agree with Brett. It's killing me not having this one. This Is one I would even pay for.
Of all the plugins etc this is the one I miss the most when it is not working. Sorry you have so much work on Matt but I will smile lots when it is going again.
Does anyone know if this will include Turnitin Assignment work that is ungraded?
That is great news Matt! You really make my day. Thank you for your big efforts.
