When the block is added at course level, I create new courses from a 'course template' and in that template I have changed the permissions so students don't see that block - which is OK for those courses, but not ideal for existing courses, which as you say you would have to go back through and change course by course.
The bigger problem for me, is when the block is added to the dashboard (which is really useful for the teachers) as this will show the assignments that need grading across all courses they teach. Because the dashbaord doesn't know who is or isn't a teacher, I have actually created a site role called 'View assignment to grade block' - which has 1 permissions - e.g, the ability to see this block - I then have to assign all teachers this role at site level, so that they see the block and others don't. This is far from ideal, but it does seem to work.
Will there be an update?
Can you give me an advise how it's possible - run cache_grade_data in schedule_task.php without any other cron components?
What version of the Grade me plugin should I download to use it in Moodle 3.10.3+ since it does not appear in the versions? Thank you
Can any users testing on Moodle 4.0 confirm what specific problem/error they are seeing? I'm currently working on the Moodle 4.0 version which I expect to release soon, however I'm not seeing any errors with usage other than a bug with Lesson activities that appears to have been already present, which I have created a separate issue in our internal tracker to resolve in the future.
Note that the most common reason for ungraded activity submissions to not appear in the block is:
* Activity type not activated in block configuration: Under Site administration -> Plugins -> Blocks -> Grade Me, you'll need to enable any types of activities that you'd like to see displayed in the Grade Me block and save changes on that page.
* Scheduled tasks not run: You'll need to ensure that both the 'reset_block' and 'cache_grade_data' are enabled and set to run regularly via the system cron, or you can run them individually via the schedule_task.php CLI script on the server for testing purposes. The cache_grade_data task must run after any individual learner's activity submission before it can show up for grading in the block.
I'll followup with any replies and get the Grade Me block released soon for Moodle 4.0, but from what I'm seeing at present there shouldn't be anything preventing you from using the current latest Moodle 3.11 version on Moodle 4.0.
Just noting that we have not yet published a version of block_grade_me that is compatible with Moodle 4, and it is not on our current roadmap at this time. Any new versions that become available will be published to both our GitHub account and here on the Moodle.org plugin page, and I have notified our team that there is definitely community interest in an M4-compatible version.
