moodle 1.9 : hide course total in gradebook

This is not possible in moodle 1.9 without modifying the code, hiding total course grade hides individual grades too. Here is a workaround :

  • In gradebook, turn on editing and go to each student total (can be tedious if having a large number of students enrolled in the course)
  • Hide each student total

First screenshot is a student view before hiding, last one is after. Voilà :)

We have some Code-in tasks left over for you!

Over the last weeks we’ve had the pleasure to introduce a lot of young people to Free Software through the Google Code-in contest. As in the previous edition the results were awesome. I’ll write about that later though. For now I wanted to do two things:

  1. Thank you mentors, admins, Google and of course participants! It wouldn’t be possible without you.
  2. We closed nearly 400 tasks (did I say amazing already?). There are another 50 tasks that were not closed within the time of the contest. However I am sure their mentors would still love to get them done. So if you are looking for a nice way to get started contributing to KDE here is your chance. Pick a task and contact the mentor. If you have questions you can join us on IRC in the channel #kde-soc on freenode or you can send an email to the mailing list kde-soc at kde.org.

Demo Friday will take place on Friday, February 10, 2012 from 4pm to 6pm in the Vernada Room of the Sofitel Hotel in Redwood City, California. Demo Friday is open to the public. This is an exciting and educational opportunity for everyone to get a hands on demonstration of what Linaro is enabling with ARM processor-based boards for Linux on ARM.

Linaro Connect is held every three to four months to bring the Linux on ARM community together to learn about the latest SoC developments, plan the next development cycle and hack together. These events give the Linux community an opportunity to be a part of the Linaro team and help to define the ARM tools, Linux kernels and builds of key Linux distributions including Android and Ubuntu on member SoCs.
