Layout Differences From Grader Report
LAE Grader report in non-editing mode
- Grade item and category headers are all on one line, not nested. LAEgrader does not collapse or expand categories.
- LAEgrader allows wrapping of grade items and grade category names (at approximately 30 characters) to avoid excessively wide reports
- All items (including the category column) included in a category are colour-coded the same to group them, alternately orange/blue
- Items not contained in a category have a background of white as does the Course Total.
- Hidden items and categories are grey.
- Grades scroll both horizontally and vertically without losing view of the student’s column or the grade item header rows. This is the biggest difference between the LAE and core grade books. It negates the need for mouseover descriptions of which student and which item on which you’re currently working.
- Rows added such as ‘range’ or ‘average’ are placed at the top (instead of the bottom) and are frozen along with the grade item titles row so the user never loses sight of them.
- Has a ‘Clear overrides’ button at each column header
- Doesn’t allow for editing the values for category or course items.
- Has an ‘Export to CSV’ button right on the report for a quick export of all items along with a weights row, a maximum points row, and an extra column after every category and course total for making calculations.
