What are the different built-in grading schemes in Moodle?
Answer
Moodle offers several different built-in grade calculations - known as "aggregations."
Available aggregations:
- Mean of grades - sum of all grades divided by the total number of grades.
- Weighted mean* - categories and individual items can be assigned a weight.
- Simple weighted mean* - average of all items with items weighted based on their maximum value.
- Mean of grades (with extra credits) - this calculation type is no longer supported - we recommend against using it.
- Median of grades - the middle value.
- Smallest grade - the smallest grade (based on the percentage).
- Highest grade - the highest grade (based on the percentage).
- Mode of grades - grade that occurs the most frequently - often used for non-numerical grades.
- Natural* - Sum of grades.
