Preventing access to a question until previous question answered

Preventing access to a question until previous question answered

Hello. I am wondering if there is a way to prevent access to a quiz question until previous questions have been answered. I am trying to build a situation style experience. I give them some beginning information and they answer a question, then in the next question I give them the answer to the previous question so that if they mess up the first one they don't get the rest of the questions wrong.

My way of doing this was to put each question on a separate page, but it seems Moodle allows the student to navigate around to any question, meaning they could get all the answers right except the last one by doing the quiz backwards!

Is there another way to accomplish this?

You might want to look into using a lesson rather than a quiz. See http://docs.moodle.org/en/Lesson.

I see this discussion relates to the same thing, and seems to be no progress yet, even with 2.0:

Hi there,

In 1.9 you can use the non standard module QuizPort to do this by specifying pre and post conditions to your quizzes created in Hot Potatoes.

Cheers,

Here is an other way of implementing a set of questions where the student can't go back to a previous question

We have Moodle 2.3 and are able to specify that the quiz must be navigated sequentially in the the edit settings page.

It would be a pain if there are a lot of questions, but you could put each question or group of questions in a separate quiz, and then implement conditional activities or activity locking.  That would require them to complete things in order.
