2.4 Release

The 2.4 release of the gradebook is driven by two major goals:

  1. Integration with the new Sakai Course Management API
  2. Add significant new end user functionality to a core Sakai application

Note: these goals for 2.4 do not include meeting a major community requirement: weighted assignment categories.

The new features and enhancements include:

  • A per Sakai installation configurable spreadsheet download via a plug in
  • Section/Group specific spreadsheet downloads based on the user's filter options
  • Support for course grades indepedent of grade calculation scheme
  • Simplification/clean up of student view
  • Participation in Sakai site re-use
  • Participation in nascent Sakai migration/archiving service
  • Participation in Sakai Event tracking
  • A grade comments feature
  • Expanded services for client tool integration
