[Building Sakai] Gradebook and SIS

[Michael Wenk]

Dorie,

At ucdavis, we're using rSmart's sakai 2.6 implementation.  We are a banner
school and we use gradebook2.  We have a special in house app that we feed
our final grades to.  This app then takes the grades that we submit from
within gradebook2 and then feeds them onward.  Gradebook2 submits the grades
via https to a web service that is built on our in house app for Final Grade
submission.

Gradebook2 uses an advisor pattern for stuff like this.  You will need to
implement a customer InstitutionalAdvisor bean.  Specifically the method
submitFinalGrade is called when the user clicks the Submit Final Grade menu
option.   There's a sample InstitutionalAdvisor included within gradebook2.


HTH,
Mike
