Hi all,
Just started working on my own course online and adding quizzes. I enjoyed the way moodle handles quizzes very much, and was surprised by the variety of things one can do with php. In my humble opinion, quizzes are the best format to teach language learners, and moodle is already covering many aspects of testing available in such programs as hot potatoes... Moodle makes it easy to create a variety of them, but there are some problems that I encountered while playing with it, and all of them are related to the usage of richtext editor...
1) I cannot check "Source" and see plain html while writing quizzes, and even now writing this letter, can I make this transition from the source to the formatted text?...
2) If I use windows-1257 encoding and re-edit file, check source, uncheck it, I get some specific characters converted into different encoding (can I do anything about that?). It looks like richtext editor does not recognize my encoding and makes everything latin-1 compliant...
There is some kind of inconsistency in transition from seeing source and formatted text, and some international settings are lost in this transition...
3) Sometimes richtext editor does not fit in a maximized window, and there is no scroll bar (resizing does not work the way it should???)...
4) Be impatient and click "save changes" while your browser is still opening a page with Richtext editor and you will get "undefined" instead of your former page...
5) Flash (object) insertion support is needed badly (the best way to use sound for my purposes)... I was able to insert flash buttons, but it takes lots of time to do that... And an ability to browse my server files while inserting would be appreciated...
6) An undo button for would be also very useful, not everyone knows ctrl-z combination...
