Hiding/collapse exercise series

[DieterPi]

Dodona used in a secondary school here, all students combined in one course.

For evaluations we make seperate series with a selection of assignments and share these with the students using the secret link + SafeExamBrowser. However, since there are many classes and many evaluations things are getting messy. We are losing the overview ourselves.

Here's an view of all the series we've added so far...

We were thinking about a seperate Dodona course where only the evaluations would be handled, but perhaps that's not a good solution. For example, the overview of the results for each student would be visible in the main course then.

Being able to structure the different series more would be a better solution. Creating a folder-like-structure with 'graded' series would then perhaps add the possibility to 'collapse' this entire folder and hide all these series from view.

Thanks for creating this issue and explaining your use-case.

The hard part for us will be designing a solution that resolves this issue, without adding extra complexity for our other users. Depending on the chosen solution, this might also have a large impact on the underlying code.

What I mean to say is that we will take this into consideration, but it might take a while before an actual solution will be implemented.

I use a separate course for evaluations. Students are not allowed to look at previous solutions for the test and a separate course helps to prevent accidental clicks.

Choosing a fixed naming convention can also help. Choose one that works best for you.

We use Safe Exam Browser to aid in fair evaluations, but sometimes students are explicitly allowed to use previous exercise. Now we do this with a link in the description which opens and extra tab with the exercises. Sometimes this helps to motivate student to make all the exercises. If we would be using a separate course, then this wouldn't be possible anymore (I guess).

(also adding this link is kind of a hack..., anyone else using this exercise in their course also gets this link...)

No problemo. :) This isn't an big issue, just a small nuisance.
