Guidance: Export grades (scores) and feedback files into an LMS-specific transport structure

[mrcalvin]

Hi everyone!

I am exploring ways of exporting details of graded notebooks into a transport structure for importing in our university's LMS. The LMS import requires the following structure per assignment:

a) Grades and comments as a rectangular data table (in some valid CSV representation):

student_id score comments
0541345 "12.00" "comment1 comment2"
...

(I would like to merge all individual, per-cell comments into one comment block.)

b) Corresponding feedback files named after the student_id plus html extension

I'd appreciate any guidance and pointers to existing work, artefacts.

I could imagine a custom export plugin (subclass of BasePlugin or CsvExportPlugin) which, in addition, uses get_comment to add the feedback comments? How would I best align the generated feedback files along with the generated CSV?

Thx!

Another, entirely different approach could be to post-processing the markup of the generated feedback files for the relevant details.
