We have got some suggestions for features in the quiz module
I have searched tracker and could not find similar ones, but may be I was searching using the wrong terms.
Please let me know what you think about those. I can then submit a tracker item, so we can vote.
Tim, what do you think about feasibility of those?
1. Showing question statistics to students per every question (gradebook can later show stats per quiz/any other individual grade item).
Reason: Some instructors believe that quizzes provide not a grading functionality, but a learning/collaborative opportunity to students. Stats help to put everything into perspective for a learner.
Stats that can be shown per each question are:
- Average/min/max number of points earned; distribution of scores/points - valuable for Essay questions
- Number of peers who got the question right (or wrong)
- Most frequent wrong answers (this is what instructor can figure out from Item Analysis page) - valuable for Short Answer, Mult choice
Suggested interface: Add additional checkboxes to the Setting page of the quiz, under the “Review options” area, thus instructor can control release of such stats.
2. Bulk manual re-grading for any question type.
Reason: Improved functionality.
At this moment we can only use Manual Grading to review/regrade essay question in bulk. It would be nice to have such feature for any question type.
E.g. in case of Short Answer question, we entered quite a lot of variations for typing “N-1”. Still some students typed that with letters (n minus one), added comments into that line, etc.
Option to review on one screen and manually regrade every attempt for that question would save a lot of time.
Even T/F questions can benefit from that, since instructor would be able to bulk-enter comments to every student on one screen.
(Related to MDL-19251 which suggests ability to grade single student's entire attempt. Though I am confused about this phrase: “ability to grade all student's attempts on a single quiz question on one screen”. This is possible only for essay questions, correct? Am I missing something?)
3. Allow student to enter written comments/explanations for every answer choice they provide, and in any question type. (Right now instructors add essay questions and ask to type comments there, but it would be nice to keep everything together for ease of submission and grading/review purposes)
Reason: Students need to be able to explain to the instructor why they chose one answer over the other, and show their decision-making process, since this is what counts.
Moodle quiz interface has a lot of space for that, which is nice.
