They technically can run side by side as they currently share the same data model and service (edu-services)

But each gradebook UI may support slightly different features for grade calculations in the front-end that may produce different results to the students. Some later versions of Sakai have worked toward syncing these features up, but you're still likely to see some features supported only by one UI or the other. Features like drop lowest grades, drop highest, that kind of thing were an issue in 2.8 but fixed in 2.9. I don't know the exact gaps anymore. These would make the final grade calculations appear differently to the student depending on what they are viewing and the capabilities.

I remember talking about putting up a note in the UI of each that would detect if the other one was running to this effect like "Having both Gradebook and Gradebook 2 available in a course may provide different scoring results to students, please remove one". But I think this ended up not being an issue as schools would just pick one, and stealth the other or maybe we just put it in the Site Info description that it was recommended to just pick one or the other.

Hi,

Has any school run Gradebook and Gradebook 2 side-by-side for user to pick?

We are interested in running both parallel and however, don't know whether they both will interfere with each other or not (database sharing?).

Thanks a lot!
