How can a quiz behave like a lesson?

Hi, I'm trying to create a quiz to assess knowledge of L2. I would like to create a quiz in tow parts. One part tests a first set of abilities and level. The second part must be dependent on the score of the first part so that you are redirected to two different versions of the remainin quiz according to the score level you obtained in the first part (that is, the second part of the quiz is made up of two alternatives).

Is there any way to figure out a solution for this problem?

I'm testing this feature both on 2.1 and 1.9.9 versions of Moodle.

You can do this in 2.x using the conditional activities feature. You will need to create three quizzes, Part 1, Part 2a and Part 2b, then link them using conditional acitivites.

You can use the overall feedback on Part 1 to direct people to the correct part 2.

You can combine the part scores to get an overall score in the gradebook.

Hi Restitua,

In Moodle 1.9, the contributed module QuizPort will do what you want.

Cheers,

Glenys

I'm not sure I can understand how to set a conditional activity. Is it a plugin?

Ok I discovered how to activate the conditional activity feature, but neither this works form me. What I really need is a chain of quizzes and QuizPort is cleser to what I mean but unfortunately it shows just one hotpotatoes quiz per page. Is there a way to use QuizPort without uploading hot potatoes quizzes but using Moodle Quiz engine?

What do you mean it does not work? Do you really understand how Conditional Activities work in Moodle 2? Have you followed Tim's advice and created 3 separate quizzes? This should work as you wish. Do you need more help?

Hi Joseph,

the conditional activity works fine but I fear it doesn't match my needs.

I created three parts (three separate quizes). When a student ends a quiz she is not directly transferred to the proper second part. She goes back to the course and she has to choose the next quiz which in the meantime has appeared.

I need, instead, something that creates branches (like in lessons) but I also need to use the quiz engine, i.e. the way questions are delivered and graded in the quiz module (for example I need to group more quiz types in one page, not one quiz per page, like with Hot Potatoes).

Does anyone have any suggestions?

"When a student ends a quiz she is not directly transferred to the proper second part. She goes back to the course and she has to choose the next quiz which in the meantime has appeared."

Well, that does not seem so bad, does it?

If you want to "automatize" the passage from part 1 to part 2a or 2b, here is a scenario.

Suppose you want your quiz part 1 to allow taking quiz part 2a for a score > 50% and to allow taking quiz part 2b for a score between 10% and 50%...

In quiz Part 1, Overall feedback settings, set:

Grade boundary 100% Feedback : Now you can take quiz Part 2a.

Grade boundary 50% Feedback : Now you can take quiz Part 2b.

Grade boundary 10% Feedback : You'll have to take quiz Part 1 again.

Grade boundary 0%.

Note.- If you really want to automatize the taking of parts 2, you could copy & paste the URL of quiz part 2a and quiz part 2b in the feedback message. So that on the Review page the student could just click the link (see attached screenshot #1).

And of course, in the settings of quizzes part 2a and 2b, set the Grade conditions (screenshot #2).

Hope that helps,

Joseph

Thanks Joseph, that's an interesting scenario. Unfortunately, after the student has taken the two quizzes needs to access her evaluation in order to know in which cource she is placed (it is a placement test, in fact). And I cannot figure out how to let her see a combined evaluation of both tests together. I guess it can be done with scales?

I never use the gradebook myself so cannot help you out here. But hopefully Tim will.

Thanks both of you. Unfortunately quiz port just supports hot potatoes and Quedoc and both allow to navigate exercises one at a time. I need something that allows to include two or three different types of exercises in tha page, grade this part and pass to the second part which will be made up of more than one type of exercises all in the same page.

I'm going to try now the conditional activity module for Moodle 2.1.
