Flow: exams to gradebook & reports

An online exam attempt becomes a gradebook entry, which becomes a report-card mark — automatically, through the assessment–gradebook bridge.

Exams to gradebook — ep_assessment_gradebook_bridge turns a scored attempt into a gradebook entry.

Under the hood

  1. A finished ep.assessment.attempt is scored in ep_assessment_engine.
  2. The bridge (ep_assessment_gradebook_bridge) finds or creates the matching ep.assessment.component in the ep.gradebook.
  3. It writes an ep.gradebook.entry for the student against that component.
  4. The gradebook recomputes the term aggregate; the report card and transcript read it directly.

Grading scales travel too

Because the entry lives in the gradebook, the configured scale (letter, percentage, competency or IB 1–7) applies consistently — the exam, the report card and the transcript all show the same grade.

Continuous assessment — Teacher-entered CA marks and exam-driven entries sit side by side in the same ep.gradebook, weighted per the class policy.
