Project Idea

• Generate a graphic representation of a student's grades, showing the range of possible lowest and highest grades as the semester progresses.

Approach

Proof of Concept

• Generate a graphic proof of concept in Processing/Java. It could use the MVC approach, but doesn't have to.
• There should be a way of adding grades, one after the other, and see the graph update itself.
• There should be several categories of grades: homework, exams, labs, project, quizzes. Each should have a separate weight.

Research how Moodle Modules Work

• A place to start: docs.moodle.org/dev/NEWMODULE_Documentation
• Find other tutorials. Figure out what it takes to write a module for Moodle.

Javascript Version

• Translate the Processing/Java program to a Javascript app., possibly using Google's WebKit.
• Install Google's WebKit on computer and Eclipse.

Integration

• Integrate Javascript Version into test-version of Moodle.
