How to ‘Release’ grades and feedback in Moodle!

It’s this time of the year! Marking is in progress, and you will soon need to Release grades and feedback to students via Moodle!

Don’t forget Marking Workflow is enabled for all Moodle Assignments! You need to Release the grades and feedback for students!

Firstly, the Marking workflow in Moodle is a great feature. It enables teachers to add grades and feedback to student submissions and allow them to ‘Release’ (reveal the grades and feedback) at the same time for all students when they choose to do so.

How to ‘Release’ grades and feedback to students?

Considering Marking workflow is enabled for all newly created Assignments in Moodle (2019/20), you must ‘Release’ the grades and feedback to students. To do so, follow the steps below:

1. Click the Assignment link and View all assignments.

2. Scroll to the bottom of the page and under Options > Assignments per page select All to get all assignments to display on one page.

Options > Assignments per page select All

3. Select the submissions for which you want to use marking workflow using the Select box on the left of each submission – to select all submissions, click the Select all box under Select.

Select all box under Select

4. Scroll to the bottom of the page and from the drop-down menu With selected… select Set marking workflow state and click Go.

With selected… select Set marking workflow state and click Go

5. On the screen that appears, and from the drop-down menu Marking workflow state, select Released You can choose to Notify students by selecting Yes to generate an email. Click Save changes.

Marking workflow state, select Released

6. Students will be able to review their grades and feedback.

N.B. If blind marking is in use with marking workflow, the grades are released regardless of whether student identities have been revealed. However, you and other markers are likely to want to reveal identities at some point. Grades are only released once student identities are revealed (updated Nov 2023). You can find the option to Reveal student identities in the Grading action drop-down menu at the top of the submissions table. You need to have Teacher (Editor) or higher access to do this.

Moodle service update

CLT sincerely apologise for the Moodle outage which occurred at 0632 on Sunday 30th and continued until 1033 Monday and for the inconvenience caused.

Technical explanation of the problem.

The SSL certificate for moodle.lse.ac.uk expires on 17th February this year.  On Thursday, new certificate signing request was submitted to GlobalSign so we could start the process of obtaining a new certificate.  In so doing, it was  discovered that GlobalSign no longer support certificates signed with 1024-bit keys, which Moodle has been using until now.  So a new pair of 2048-bit keys was created, and used to generate the certificate signing request.

When GlobalSign send a certificate, it is not deployed on the Moodle application server, but on the Moodle load balancer.  This is because the certificate is issued to sign encrypted communications originating from moodle.lse.ac.uk, and it is the load balancer, not the application server, which is accessed at this address.  The load balancer then forwards all traffic to the application server, having decrypted it first.

It was believed that the application server did not use the SSL certificate at all.  However, Apache, the web server on the application server, is configured to listen on TCP port 443, which is used for secure web communications.  It therefore requires the certificate, and the server’s private key which was used to sign it, in order to start.  A new private key with the same name as the old one was generated, having renamed the old key to retain as a backup.

On Sunday morning, a maintenance script on the application server restarted Apache so it could create a new weekly logfile and compress the old one.  But since the certificate file and private key did not match, the server could not start.  This caused a complete loss of service until the issue was identified and resolved.

Appropriate lessons have been drawn from this episode and this type of error should not occur again
