The following capabilities were included in the original MIT / UC Berkeley requirements for an online Gradebook but stripped from the Sakai 2.0 release.
- Section Awareness
- Grading History Logs
- Grader Comments
- Assignment Categories
- Percentage-Weighted Categories
- Letter-Graded Assignments
- Final Grade Submission Plug-in
Some other features have been suggested since the 2.0 release:
- Grade Import
- Greater flexibility of grade export (mostly to work around the lack of a final grade submission plug-in)
- Direct access to a user permissions-editing tool (apparently to work around the lack of an instructor-usable role management application)
In our initial discussions with the Stanford Samigo team, we originally agreed to work towards the following integration features, which were then stripped from the Sakai 2.0 release:
- Two-way creation and editing of assignments
- Two-way manual scoring of assignments
- Direct links to the relevant assignment pages from Gradebook instructor, grader, and student views
The only certain deliverables for the 2.1 Gradebook release are Section Awareness and History Logs.
Depending on the schedule and our available resources, the next highest priority is generally agreed to be Percentage-Weighted Categories, but that's also the greatest combined challenge for UI and business logic.
