Hello,
when I use QUIZ and Shortanswer, there is - in my opion - a problem for the pupil:
When he gets the results, the results are green-lighted, however, the own version is in the very small box, and he/she can't easily compare the correct with the wrong version.
Question: Is it possible to enlarge the box to a certain amount, lets say up to 15 or 20 letters.
By the way, this refers also to other boxes in the quiz-area.
Regards

Yes, no problem, lots of Moodlers do it (something to change in the standard-Moodle Martin 
)
In mod\quiz\lib.php look for line 584 (in version 1.2$$\beta$$ or search for shortanswer in the file and look for theis line) and change the value 20 to e.g. 100 ()
echo "<p align=\"right\">$stranswer: <input type=\"text\" name=\"q$realquestion->id\" size=\"100\" $value /></p>";
Thanks a lot for your quick answer. It sounds pretty good, and I'll pass it to my colleague and report later.
Regards
Joachim
This is GREAT! Thank you!!!
I am wondering if I can make a "scrolling box" so I can have kids put a short paragraph in this section.
Thanks again!
I understand you completely, Martin. I did the hack for a collegue of mine that I couldn't convince to be VERRY carefull with this questiontype, makinng longer answers. I should check if it is even necessary on my site to do the change (altough 20 characters is verry short)
correction: I 've just seen you enlarging it to 50 chars in CVS. Looks fine to me
