Distribute TANs via Moodle

Deutsche Version

Attention

Lectures with exercises have 2x the amount of TANs (for each student one for the lecture and one for the exercise). The first half of the TAN list will be for the exercise and the second half will be for the lecture (or vice versa)

  1. You will receive the TANs in the form of a CSV file or an Excel spreadsheet.

  2. Create a Task (ger. Aufgabe) in Moodle with the following settings:

    • ! Answer begin, deadline, last submission date, remind participants: dont't activate
    • ! Answer types: select none of the types, as participants shouldn't be able to submit something
    • ! Feedback types: only select Feedback as comment (ger. Feedback als Kommentar) and Offline grading table (ger. Offline-Bewertungstabelle)
    • Submission settings: leave all option on No (ger. Nein) or Never (ger. Nie) respectively
    • Settings for group submission: select No (ger. Nein)
    • System notifications: recommended settings no/no/yes
    • Grading: the default is ok. (Points (ger. Punkt), maximum 100, simple direct grading.
    • Other settings: Show on course page (ger. Auf Kursseite anzeigen); No groups (ger. Keine Gruppen)
    • ! Prerequisites: set a deadline (if applicable), else mention the deadline explicitly in the text
    • End of activity: End of activity not visible (ger. Abschluss wird nicht angezeigt)
    • Finish by clicking on Save and show (ger. Speichern und anzeigen)

  3. Open the new task (if not already done by clicking on Save and show in the previous step). On the page, click on Show all submissions (ger. Alle Abgaben anzeigen)

  4. Ignore the table :-) and in Grading process (ger. Bewertungsvorgang) select the option Download table (ger. Bewertungstabelle herunterladen). Save the CSV file.

  5. Open both CSV files - the table from Moodle and the CSV files with the TANs - in Excel (or similar spreadsheet software).

  6. Copy the TANs into the table from Moodle into Column I (Feedback als Kommentar). In Column E (Bewertung) enter 0, so that a "grade" is present. Save the modified file.

  7. In the task created in steps 2 and 3 select the option Upload grading table (ger. Bewertungstabelle hochladen). You may have to click on Show all submissions (ger. Alle Abgaben anzeigen) first. Upload the modified file. It may be necessary to customize the options Encoding (ger. Kodierung) and Separator (ger. Trennzeichen); e.g. oftentimes, the separator needs to be set to Semikolon. Upload the file by clicking on Bewertungstabelle hochladen.

  8. Check the validity of the data in the preview. When the data provided is correct, the text Feld 'Feedback als Kommentar' für '<Student>' auf '<TAN>' setzen should appear throughout the preview. If everything looks ok, click on Accept (ger. Bestätigen) and wait, until a confirmation appears. Then, click on Continue (ger. Weiter).

  9. Inform participants on when and how they can access the TANs. There are two possibilities:

    • Go to the column Grading (ger. Bewertungen) in the course and select the TAN from the column Feedback in the appropriate Task (ger. Aufgabe)
    • Click on the relevant Task (ger. Aufgabe) and select the TAN under Feedback and Feedback als Kommentar
