Hi,

I am having a big trouble with one of our courses as the structure is so so complicated! So

1. Totara calculating course total based on a matrix. I don't think that's possible as I have tried many things. But please give me some advice for any workaround.

2. Since Totara cannot calculate the total based on a matrix, my admin will over-write the course total manually.

3. However, when we use the certificate to print this course total, we can't print the "real" grade. As we are using a custom scale. The certificate can only print "percentage" or "point" or "letter".

4. Also, we are hoping the generate more of a result letter that list each activity's result and the overall result. But I don't think we can do that unless we change the php file?

Urgh, I just don't think any of the things we want would work. :(

If anyone have any idea or amazing plugin we can try, that would be great!

Thanks

Jennifer

Hi Jennifer

In response to your questions

  1. Not sure what you mean by matrix - course grades can have formulas to calculate grades . Each activity can also be given different weightings
  2. Manually overriding the grades can also be done if a suitable formula can't be created 

For the last two items - it is possible to create an Open Badge rather than a certificate. These can be awarded on various criteria and are externally displayable and verifiable. 

the information the badge can display include

  • criteria the badge is awarded for 
  • who awarded this 
  • when this was awarded 
  • when it expires 

We have badges enabled on this site - if you check your profile you may see you have a badge already!

Regards
