How to use this book

Users who are new to Moodle assessments and the Gradebook can read this book from the beginning to the end and follow the instructions to get some practical experience. Users who are already familiar with the basics of the Gradebook can use each chapter individually to customize the Gradebook according to their needs.

If you would like to walk through the instructions in this book, you will need editing access to a course in Moodle 2.7.

You can also use the instructions if you are using an earlier version of Moodle. However, grading with rubrics is only available from Moodle 2.2 onwards, and the marking guide from 2.3. Similarly, the marking workflow is only featured from Moodle 2.6 and above. The Gradebook in Moodle 1.9 is also very similar to Moodle 2.x, so most of the instructions can still be followed if you are using earlier versions.
