Location:

Appears as a popup when user clicks on Competency or Rating link in Competency breakdown report.

Description:

This popup report displays the details of a specific Competency, including path within Competency framework, the Activities associated with the Competency in the current course, the current student, a Proficiency binary value, the current rating, a Rate button (link to another popup), and a list of datestamped ratings with evidence for the selected student in this Competency.

Intended audience:

Teachers

Purpose:

This report provides an interface for updating student Competency ratings, including a review of previous ratings and evidence.

Suggestions:

1. Because this report is implemented as a popup, it has no scroll bar and can easily overflow a smaller screen (e.g. a laptop). It might be better to make this a standard page report with a “Save and return” button. (Also, the Rate button results in a popup over a popup.)
2. Probably it would make sense to provide a link to this report from the grading interface of the Activity being used as evidence for the Competency.
3. Links on this report/popup take the user away to the Competency, Activity, Student, and any previous submitters of Evidence, with no way to return directly to this screen (“Back” returns to the Competency Breakdown report, since this is a popup.) In a course with many Competencies attached, this could be very frustrating.

Conversion to Configurable Reports:

Details of the Competency and links to Activity and User appear in the “header” of this report. The rows of the report are the Evidence records. The following enhancements to Configurable Reports (detailed above) would be needed to convert this report:

1. Display report as popup
2. Cell calculations (including ability to construct a URL and replace integers with icons – also used here to construct and format content of Evidence records)
3. URL Link to related report
4. Receive URL parameters
5. Include filter selections in report header
