Please, share it! The goal of this simple plugin is encourage coders to add more edu capabilities to wordpress.

Grade your students tasks or assignments online using wordpress.

You, and only you, as blog admin can rate (grade) your students posts.

For do it, login as admin on your wordpress installation and edit a post.

Then, in Custom fields post section edit “ratings_average”, “ratings_score” and “ratings_users”.
“ratings_average”, and “ratings_score” must be the same number (your grade) and “ratings_users” must be “1″.

Usage: Just type in [ ratings ] **without blank spaces!**  into the selected post/page content and it will embed grades into that post/page only.

**Some remarks:
*Check (and edit) your new Ratings item menu:

*Setup your grade style preferences:

*Working around the Edit post menu. After select a post, you can grade the post from the “Custom Field” menu.

You can work around the privacity issue checking plugins like “role manager” or “user access” and others like it.

Limitation: You cannot rate posts with decimals!

It’s All!

The plugin is just a minor modification of the original wp-posratings plugin from http://lesterchan.net/wordpress/readme/wp-postratings.html.
You can use only 1 plugin, wp-postratings or our modification,  but no both.

Plugin: LeagueManager
Tag:Gradebook 

The new version, Leaguemanager 2.4.1 solve some bugs from 2.4 and will run fine as a “rude” gradebook. Yes!

Thie Plugin, Leaguemanager is designed to manage sports leagues and display them on your blog. But it can be used for any other functions as well. 

Features

Changing leagues, team and match  for “Classroom”,”student id”, and “test id”, is easy to get a “rude” gradebook running under wordpress, just try it.

But, obviously, with some limitations. You can just grade your student with just up to  2 (or 3) grades (i.e: approved/not approved). 

Ideal for grade a work like an online course. You can set a students list (as teams local i.e) and a a task list (as teams no locals). So, you can grade every course step assign a approved or not approved to every course-task or step.

Just try it and, please, feel free to comment your experience, ideas…

Plugin:Table Of Contents Box plugin

A table of contents box for Wordpress similar to the one in MediaWiki.

Feaures

• Automatic recognition of headings up to level 4.
• Table of contents wrapped in an aesthetically shaped box.
• Dynamically collapsible to an unobtrusive size, to maximize space for content. (Click on the TOC box header to see it.)
• Freely positionable through a shortcode. (Where the shortcode is, there the TOC box will appear.)
• Freely styleable via CSS classes and inline styles, all supplied via shortcode arguments.
• Multiple TOC boxes embeddable, through multiple shortcodes in the post.

See more live examples on the demo page.
Headings are formatted with “Heading x” from the drop-down box in “Kitchen Sink Toolbar” of the visual editor, or wrapped in <Hx>…<Hx/> tags in HTML mode (where x is a number denoting the heading level).
Boxes are not shown on the blog front page, only in single posts and pages.

wbQuiz v0.1.0
wbQuiz is a plugin for WordPress that gives you the ability to add a quiz to your site.
This is a old plugin and the setup process is not automatic, so you must work a few  with your pages and templates.  (We are now testing it…)
Features

As many questions as you like

Three types of questions: Open,  Multiple Choice - select one and  Multiple Choice - select many

Customizable: Weighted scoring: different answers give different scores. Multiple rankings, as many as you like

Download the (only and) latest version is 0.1.0. here

Installation

Download and unzip the latest release.
Copy both files from the plugins-directory to your /wp-content/plugins directory
Activate wbQuiz in your Adminstration->Plugins panel

Using wbQuiz

Create a PageTemplate that uses the tag somewhere inside “The Loop” ( <?php wb_quiz() ?> )

Create a page using your new template
Add a Custom Key to your page called question_file with as value the path to a question_file. This path can be an absolute path from your server’s /-dir, or it can be relative from your /wp-content/plugins dir.e.g. ../myquestions.php or /var/www/myotherquestions.php

Creating a question_file
Copy plugins/wb_quiz_questions.php to a new file and start hacking. (Check the provided example: is documented fairly well).
At the bottom of the question_file you can configure all the texts used by wbQuiz as well as the rankings.

CUBEPOINTS

Another hope to someday have something similar to a gradebook on running directly as a wordpress plugin.

In its first version, allows users simlpement get points for participating in the comments. Each comment can be rewarded with a number of points that are recorded in the user’s account … This is the detail, which may think that this is a first plugin that may give some clue to a programmer about how to get teachers to serve as a plugin gradebook.

In the web of plugin announced imminent developments in the development of the plugin. We have already written our idea there on the gradebook for wordpress. To see if there is luck

In te current version (1.0), users can earn points by posting comments on your site. Users can donate point to the comment author. The plugin comes with an admin panel which gives administrators the ability to alter the points of their users quickly and easily.

Features include:

* Edit prefixes (such as $) and suffixes (such as Dollars) of points
* User-to-user donation can be disabled/enabled from the admin panel. A donation link can be seen in each comment for current user to donate to the comment author
* Custom CSS available on donation links: no template edits needed in most cases
* Points can be altered by the administrator from the admin panel

There are 2 things very demanded to use Wordpress as a complete Learnig Managament System:

1- The ability to be used as a Gradebook
2- The ability to rate each post (point must be saved on the user/student accpunt and must be accesible to the student and teacher.

There are no tool to do it.

We wonder, however, if it is possible to get a rude and first(and just first!)approximation to the concept of Gradebook adapting some plugins.
Soon we think of a first candidate,Wp-posrating, but there is a serious problem. We can not seem to get the administrator is the only one who can rate the post.
Or at least it seems.
We think that perhaps could be the key here:

### Function: Check Who Is Allow To Rate
function check_allowtorate() {
global $user_ID;
$user_ID = intval($user_ID);
$allow_to_vote = intval(get_option(’postratings_allowtorate’));
switch($allow_to_vote) {
// Guests Only
case 0:
if($user_ID > 0) {
return false;
}
return true;
break;
// Registered Users Only
case 1:
if($user_ID == 0) {
return false;
}
return true;
break;
// Registered Users And Guests
case 2:
default:
return true;
}
}

Maybe someone knows how to modify the code so that only users with credentials (administrator, teacher) can rate a message.
It would be a first step towards an elementary Gradebook using wordpress

And keep waiting for someone to tell us how to make compatible scorm with wordpress !

Plugin: advanced-wiki-links
Tab: wiki, cross-links,

This is a great, great plugin. Maybe the best wordpress plugin for some uses.  With the Advanced-wiki- links wordpress plugin, you can create links out of words that match post titles and content tags to generate quick cross-links. Based on old plugin Wiki Links by Vlad Babii.

According with the author, will format post content to link to other post based on post title and categories based on category name. But, in fact, the plugin links too to any (title) page behin your domain!

Is magic. If you have a post (or page) named www.yourdomain.com/apple , just type apple in any post and when you save the post, the word “apple” is -automatically- a link to your post www.yourdomain.com/apple.
Great educational potencial, very useful .

Advanced Wiki-Links works fine with the new Wordpress 2.7, no code updates needed.
