This section is used to define cross-disciplinary competencies (e.g., teamwork, other soft skills) that are to be assessed.

Here, the transversal competencies are specified according to which students should be evaluated. In the default configuration, the categories are pre-filled but can be freely extended or modified.

Grading Scale

The grading scale records the assessment values for cross-curricular competencies.

Within the grading scale, the individual ratings are defined. These fields are also pre-filled but can be customized as well.

Curricula (Educational Plans)

Educational plans can be entered as text fields. After creating at least one educational plan, subject labels (e.g., M for Math, D for German, etc.) can be added in a second step.

If the “Community School” setting option is enabled, existing educational plans (curricula) based on predefined templates can be listed and edited.

Using the “Subject Labels” button, subjects such as Mathematics, German, etc., can be added.

Class Teachers

Here, the class teachers (who are allowed to create classes) are assigned to the global group "Class Teachers."

The administrator defines here the teacher who will lead a class and thus has the permission to add teachers to that class. A global group called "Class Teachers" is created for this purpose (Global Group ID: block_exastud_head_teachers).

This configuration option is also accessible via Site Administration > Users > Accounts > Global Groups.

Copy or Assignment Function

If the class teacher changes, the editing rights of a class can be transferred to another teacher. This can be useful when, for an extended period, one trainer needs to take over the class work of another.

Report Configurations

Starting from version 4.6.3 of the module, the report fields that can be used are generated dynamically. Based on a configuration table, fields are added and then combined with the graphical template. This way, the output is generated dynamically (see also the appendix: Report Configurator).

Backup

Here, all tables of the learning development report can be backed up in SQL format. Restoring the backup is done using a database tool such as phpMyAdmin.

Since the module is designed to work across courses, data cannot be backed up on a course-specific basis. Therefore, a backup function is integrated into the module.

The backup concept provides that either the administrator performs a complete backup in SQL format, or trainers can do this specifically for their own classes.

The admin backup includes all data of the learning development report, including personal student data (name, first name, school year, school name, report form, etc.), so that the learning development report can be fully transferred to a new Moodle environment.

Trainers can perform the backup for their own class. During the import, the existing data is compared with the new data (from the backup copy), and the teacher manually confirms where assessments have changed and where the new assessments should be applied.

For the class teacher backup, there is a simple basic encryption. A generated password can be noted by the teacher and is required to restore the backup.
