Each month we will share some of our timely frequently asked questions around educational technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is it possible to run a discussion forum in my shared Int \/ Ext FLO site in random groups of 5 students, where distance students participate separately to the internal students?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes. First, you need to create the groups \u2013 FLO has an auto-create function<\/a> to assist with random allocation. Create a set of groups for the internal students (using the Student Two group) and then create a set of groups for the external students (using the Student Two group). You will need to allocate all groups to the same grouping.<\/p>\n

Once you have all your groups in the grouping, apply the grouping to the discussion forum settings. Under Common module settings<\/strong>, change Group mode<\/strong> to Separate groups<\/strong> to give each group their own private forum, or Visible groups<\/strong> to create a forum for each group and allow other groups to view (but not post to).<\/p>\n

For more information see the groups and groupings<\/a><\/u> help documentation on the eLearning Gateway or enrol in the FLO: Managing groups<\/a> workshop.<\/p>\n

In my topic students will partake in 10 quizzes spread over 10 weeks, but only be assessed for the 5 top scoring ones. Can I configure Gradebook to calculate the result?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes. In Gradebook (Setup<\/strong> > Gradebook setup<\/strong>), create a category called (say) \u2018Weekly quizzes\u2019 and move all the relevant weekly quizzes<\/a> inside it.<\/p>\n

Edit the settings for the new category. Set the Aggregation<\/strong> to Weighted mean of grades<\/strong>. Click the Show more<\/strong> link and type \u20185\u2019 in the Keep the highest<\/strong> value box. In Category total<\/strong>, set the maximum grade for the category.<\/p>\n

Ensure the weighting factor (Weights<\/strong> column) for the category of combined quizzes matches the information in the SAM. Most other settings can be left as defaults. Save the changes, and then give each quiz a weighting of 1.0 inside the category you have created.<\/p>\n

Gradebook will now add up the top five quizzes in the category, ignoring the other five, and then contribute to the final topic total.<\/p>\n

For assistance, contact your local eLearning support team<\/a>. Further information about Gradebook<\/a> is provided in the eLearning Gateway.<\/p>\n
