 Okay, so we're in a Moodle course through the eyes of an administrator or an editing teacher. One of its great features is the grade book, it's sort of the inbuilt reporting function for the learning management system available in each course. Now we access that via the course administration block. We go to grades and it essentially serves up all of the enrolled students in the course on the left side and across the top we've got each of the grade items or these if you like the assessable activities within a course. So forums, quizzes, assignments, school activities and the like can all be graded given feedback and essentially assessed against either scales and or outcomes. So there's data residing in this course grade book already. What we would like to do is go to choose an action from the drop menu up the top left and we go to export, export to an Excel spreadsheet. So we can choose to preview X number of rows in this exported file. Which grade items do we want to include in the said file? Submit, it gives us I guess a preview of what will be exported and then we would simply click the download button and mind you this file can be exported in XML or plain text for a variety of other formats as well. What we end up with is in this case a spreadsheet in Excel looking like so. So we could chart and graph for analyze the data in a spreadsheet program in a sort, filter and so forth. So there you have it.
