Subcourse

Maintained by Dan Marsden, Catalyst IT
Subcourse behaves as a graded activity. The grade for each student is automatically fetched from a final grade in another course. This allows course designers to organize the learning content into separate units.

Activities

Subcourse is an activity module that represents the final grade obtained in another course. This allows to create "meta-gradebook" in one course, where all final grades from other courses are aggregated.

  • Grades are fetched automatically or can be fetched manually any time.
  • The grade type and other grade item settings are copied from the original grade total item and can not be changed.
  • Subcourse can be automatically marked as a completed when the referenced course is completed.
  • If the final grade in the referenced course is hidden, the associated subcourse activity grade is hidden, too.

This allows to apply the concept of grades aggregation to a next level and aggregate grades across courses.
