[Building Sakai] gradebook and gradebook2 iRubric integration

[Ramesh Sabetiashraf]

We're playing around with the LTI tool in 2.9 and it seems that the LTI tool
can be configured to tie to a single gradebook item.  Is that a correct
assumption?  

 

Thanks,

 

Ramesh

The latest LTI code basically has a bunch of API calls that allow tools to
make, manage and launch LTI placements under tool control.  This is in 2.9
and easily ported to 2.8 - the post-2.9 trunk code in LTI has a cleaned up
UI and better integration with Site Info as well.

 

It is how we made LTI work as a core resource type in LessonBuilder.

I don't think this is crazy at all, and is just what I think we had in mind.

One thing I wanted to add is that the BLTI version that was targetee for 2.8
includes a mechanism for pushing and updating grades, so perhaps a ws
callback would not be necessary. And, IIRC a grade is a number between
0 and 1 in the spec.

WRT GB2, there are some basic UI components that Ramesh and crew introduced
in
their coding and those are good ones in general: a button for updating
grades (via a 'pull' or request for a 'push') for one. And those bits
are also relevant to any other tool supplying grades to the sakai
gradebook (edu-services), so the thought was for GB2 to introduce a
general mechanism for handling those things. And that mechanism would be
(and in simpler cases, perhaps not) the BLTI launch mechanism...
