Moodle Educators – Create a 5 star rating scale in your Moodle course

-

Moodle as the name suggests is Modular in nature. It can be customized to meet eLearning requirements in all industries like Schools, Universities, Corporates etc. In Moodle there are many ways to rate or evaluate learners progress. You can use Outcomes, Grades & Scales including other advanced grading methods like Rubrics.

Dave Foord from Loughborough College shared his tips to create a 5-star scale in Moodle which will allow students to peer rate other students’ contributions. Check out his original blog post here.

In Moodle, New scales can be created by teachers with editing rights or by administrators. You can use symbols from https://unicode-table.com/en/ to create stars or any other type of symbol. Go to Course administration > Grades > Scales to add a new scale in any course.

 

Enter the name of the scale as per your wish. In the scale field, enter ☆☆☆☆☆, ★☆☆☆☆, ★★☆☆☆, ★★★☆☆, ★★★★☆,★★★★★  as the values. When this scale is then used within an activity, the 6 different options will appear in a drop-down menu, and the student chooses the option they want.

Here is the video tutorial from Dave Foord to show how this new scale can be added in Moodle course:
