Quiz

Hi Chris, I don't think the current quiz UI would allow this. In assignments, you could "sort of" do this (by automatically sending out a email to notify students that an assignment has been graded), but not in Quiz. You could use "Quickmail" (a 3rd party block) though, to notify students that the quiz (e.g. essay questions that require manual grading) has been graded and they could log in to Moodle to see their grade. In general I think it's probably a better idea to notify students by email that a certain quiz has been graded, and they need to "log in" to Moodle to see their quiz grade. It might not be a good idea to say, copy and paste the quiz grade one by one and send it to each students by email that contain their quiz grades (just my $0.02).

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the input Wen, I appreciate it!

You had some interesting suggestions.  The problem is that I need the system to email users who AREN'T a member of my moodle portal to notify them that a person took the quiz and passed with x grade.

How is quickmail different than the built in emailer that Moodle has now?  I can currently email a link telling the student that their quiz has been graded...just not the grade itself.

Appreciate any further feedback.

This is what I have done on http://itests.pennacool.com/moodle ...

In /moodle/mod/quiz/locallib.php

function quiz_send_notification_emails

   // attempt info
        $a->submissiontime = userdate($attempt->timefinish);
        $a->timetaken = format_time($attempt->timefinish - $attempt->timestart);
        $a->sumgrades = $attempt->sumgrades;
        $a->grade = $quiz->sumgrades;
          $a->gradepercent = number_format((100*($attempt->sumgrades/ $quiz->sumgrades)),0).' %';
   

// student who sat the quiz info
        $a->studentidnumber = $USER->idnumber;
        $a->studentname = fullname($USER);
        $a->studentusername = $USER->username;
        $a->password = $USER->password; 

In /moodle/lang/en_utf8/quiz.php

$string['emailconfirmbody'] = 'Dear Parent or Guardian,

$a->username
$a->coursename
$a->quizname

Grade for this submission:  $a->gradepercent

Hi

Has anyone setup the quiz so that it emails students they have passed the quiz rather sending emails everytime they make an attempt?

Thanks
