Short answer

How can I get student grades using my AI?

You can ask your AI to find specific assignment scores or full grade reports for any student in your Moodle courses. It pulls this data directly from your Moodle instance so you don't have to click through menus. You'll get a clear breakdown of performance for the learners you ask about.

The results

What you get from your AI

The AI handles the data retrieval so you can focus on the feedback.

DATA

Instant grade reports

The AI pulls specific scores and assignment results. You get the exact numbers you need without manual searching.

AUDIT

Student performance tracking

Ask for a summary of how a specific learner is doing across multiple assignments. It aggregates the data for you.

LISTS

User and assignment lists

Get a quick list of everyone enrolled in a course or a list of all active assignments. It's useful for quick course audits.

HUMAN

Manual grade entry

The AI cannot change or input grades. You still handle all grading and gradebook updates yourself in Moodle.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI translates your natural language questions into specific Moodle data requests.

  1. Identify the student

    The AI looks up the correct user in your Moodle database to ensure it's pulling data for the right person.

    list_users

  2. Locate assignments

    It finds the specific tasks or tests you are asking about within the course.

    list_assignments

  3. Fetch the scores

    The AI pulls the specific grade data for the student and the assignment you identified.

    get_user_grades

  4. Present the results
