Moodle Grader Messing Up Citation Formatting

Problem

Open

Moodle has 2 plugins that help facilitate the proper formatting when viewed in the grader. However, one of the plugins is not supported anymore and the second one is a known bug that the plugin author has yet to fix. This only happens when a citation generator such as Zotero, Mendeley or the Word built-in citation tool is used. The formatting WILL NOT change if the citations are typed out as plain text.

Workaround

Unfortunately, since these are external plugins, there is nothing much that can be done to solve the issue directly unless the plugin authors work on it. For now, some workarounds have been suggested:

• Changing the citations into plain text to keep the formatting

• Upload report as PDF
