Regarding MarkBook and Reports Features

[tiekubd]

Hello odihamdalaye,

I asked the same question about a year and a half ago:

Reports and Gradebook

I know that from Reports you can access a student’s gradebook. Are there plans to be able to directly reference and pull gradebook marks or calculated totals into the reports. Or would it be helpful to use Reports to directly record grades and skip the gradebook. Thanks.

And Ross Parker’s response here:

Reports and Gradebook

Hi Tikeu, we don’t have any plans for this at the moment, but the reports module is flexible enough for you to be able to design hooks into a headless custom module in order to allow this to happen. You could skip the gradebook, but I’d not use it to to store large numbers of grades, as this is not really how its been design…but the gradebook has! Ross.

Just in case you haven’t seen it, here’s a good presentation on the Reports module:

Gibbon Training Day 2021 - Session 3 - Reports

I find the gradebook is pretty easy and straightforward for most teachers to set up and use for entering student grades.

And the Reports module has a powerful reports generation component.

I started working on a way of marrying the two. With Ross’s guidance and encouragement, I was able to bridge the gap between the Markbook and Reports. I have been able to generate custom report cards for at least five different schools, with grades from the markbook.

If you’re interested in seeing what this looks like, I can share some of the sample Report Cards with you. My email address is info@highpointedu.com
