Downloading Marks from Moodle
Because the Moodle grade book includes the students’ ID number, marks can be downloaded from
Moodle and uploaded to UNIVERSE. To avoid errors you are recommended to download each
coursework component (grade item) separately. After downloading it is necessary to remove the
headers and surplus columns from the spreadsheet before saving it as a Text (Tab delimited)(*.txt)
file that is suitable for uploading to Universe.
Detailed instructions on how to upload the marks to UNIVERSE can be found at:
