Portfolium Submissions Graded by Points other than 100

[s_homer]

Portfolium projects/experiences should be able to be graded by points which can be other than 100.

We are using a system which calculates the total points attained in a pathway to determine whether students have completed their programme. It would be much simpler to track and visualise this process if we were able to use the actual points attained instead of a percentage.

For example we know students have completed their programme when they have achieved 1000 points in total. They will not all gain these 1000 points in the same way - some may gain 150 points for a project, another may only get 40 but they make up the difference in a different project.

The current 100 configuration makes this difficult to calculate and visually difficult for students to monitor progress.

 Our instructors do not grade every assignment on an 100 pt scale. To make the smaller points work they have to convert Portfolium assignments to percentages while the rest of their Canvas assignments are points. It causes confusion. They want to keep the math simple and consistent when it comes to the grade book.

@s_homer  - Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm wanting to use this type of grading system in the fall.

@Bethpolly unfortunately not - I would suggest upvoting this thread in the hope it is something that Instructure look at in the future?
