We have a requirement to print the quiz attempts for all students, at the completion of the exam, for archiving.
We are using moodle 2.1
has anyone auto-printed the quizzes?
thx
I haven't fully used 2.x yet but off the top of my head I can't think of a streamlined way. I have thought of an alternative but it is a little messy and may not be better than just going through and printing each alone. It depends on how you have the quizzes set up though.
To make this work, you must have all questions of the quiz dispaying on the same page (quiz settings > questions per page > unlimited) and have no page breaks in the quiz. This way when you review a quiz attempt, all questions are displayed on the same page.
You may then use DownThemAll! in Firefox to download an HTML file of each quiz attempt. After installing DownThemAll!,
- Go to the quiz results. In my example, I have 5 dummy attempts.
- Then right click and select DownThemAll!
- In the DownThemAll! window, we need to select only the quiz attempts. The best way to do this is to select the Download tab to sort.
- Then you will need to locate the quiz attempts. They will be grouped together by date (arrow on right side of DownThemAll! Example). Select all the quiz attempts and then download.
So as I mentioned, this will download an HTML file that you can then print. But if you just need to keep the records of the quiz attempts, you could just keep all the HTML files on your computer and save trees!
Happy 
oodling!
To say you have a requirement to print all quiz attempts is not really true.
What you really have is a requirement to provide some sort of audit trail for the quiz results you publish; and you currently have a process to meet that requirement that involves killing a lot of innocent trees.
So, I would encourage you to think more deeply about your requirements, and try to find a greener solution.
However, this seems to be a moderately common feature request (poor trees), so I am a bit surprised that no-one has ever developed a quiz report plug-in that does this. It is probably not too hard. Just combine the code from the overview report with code from the quiz review page.

Shall we gather from that comment of yours that you are spending your holiday in a wooded area of the country, Tim?

PS.- Totally agree with your stand against printing quizzes.
I fully agree with you about saveing the trees, especially when I am convinced that the printed sheets will never be looked at. Unfortunately we HAVE to save a hardcopy of all final exams. For quizzes, midterms, and other graded items through the semester, we do not have to save them. Only the final exam. Though I hate it, I do not have a choice, unless I can print the final exam we can use e-exams for all except the final. I was hoping to use e-exam also for the final, and after couple of semesters I can get admin to accept e-results for all tests, and help me save the trees.
Thanks for your reply
Well, for any quiz attempt, there is a page you can print, you can get there by reviewing the attempt, and then clicking 'Show all on one page'.
And you have a choice of either going through manually, and printing them all, or trying to automate it to various degrees.
The feedback activity (thanks for the pointer Tim) still offers the opportunity to take an Excel download of the actiual responses, and seems to have some new functionality for dependant items.
Interestingly the export command for the Feedback module seems to be giving the table courseid rather than the course settings courseid.
Ah, well if you are happy with a spreadsheet-style download, you can do that.
In Moodle 2+ go to Results -> Responses in the navigation.
If Moodle 1.9, install the Detailed responses plugin from the modules and plugins database.
