MoodleHelperJS

A tool to facilitate the entry of grades into Moodle. The only requirement is a more-or-less modern web browser.

Features

• selection of data rows in two intuitive ways
  • a query selecting the first row matching all search terms (case-insensitive, separated by spaces)
  • clicking a row in the table
• optimized for a quick workflow
  • when the correct row has been selected by a query, hit Return to be taken to the grade input field
    • clicking a table row will also take you the the grade input field
  • entering a grade followed by Return will write the grade into the table and clear the input mask
• highlighting of modified grades
• will warn before updating non-empty grades or deleting grades
• will warn if you attempt to close the page with unsaved changes
• no data is uploaded to any remote servers: the entire code is run client-side and will work without an Internet connection
• UI language selection (will default to browser language if translations are available)
  • at the moment, only English and German are implemented – feel free to submit translations!

Usage

• export the grade table from Moodle as a “text file”, i.e. in CSV format
• edit the grade table using this tool:
  • select the file
  • map the column names to the corresponding labels
  • enter grades using the tool
  • save the modified table to a file
• import said file into Moodle
