Hi
Has anyone any experience of overlaying text input boxes onto a picture (in this case, a screen shot of a data inputting page) to give the impression that the user is actually inputting information?
The aim is that this will be incorporated into a Quiz format.
Any guidance would be appreciated - how to, plug ins (although cost is a consideration - private company on a budget!), etc.
Version 2.2.1
Many thanks
Samantha Jones (Sam)
Hi Sam Are you just meaning image editing software that will insert text into a screenshot of a form- or are you meaning something more substantial such as a new question type?
Hi Sam,
A mockup screenshot would help us understand what you want to achieve.
Joseph
Thanks for responding Joseph. Below is a copy of the empty database page on an independant programme. It might be that some fields are completed in the screen shot and a scenario provided. The learner will be asked to complete the remaining fields correctly to match with Short Answers or Multiple Choice responses.
Hi Sam,
I doubt that what you want to do will be possible with an existing Moodle activity, Quiz or otherwise.
From the screenshot it seeems however that what you need is not the Quiz activity but a "survey-like" acvitity such as Feedback (included in Moodle) or Questionnaire for Moodle (3rd-party plugin).
Joseph
Hi Joseph,
Thank you again. I will certainly look at the alternatives that you have suggested.
Sam
You should be able to construct such a page in a cloze question type, such that the fields to answer are actual embedded cloze MC and SA and the rest are either text/html or images (or a background image). A lot of work, but if you use these questions/scenario multiple times it should be worth the time. hth
@Itamar,
I had also thought of suggesting the Cloze question type but, as I say in my previous message from the screenshot it looks pretty obvious that the purpose of this "activity" is to gather data, not to test the student, hence my suggestion of a "survey-like" activity instead.
Joseph
I'm not sure about that Joseph. Samantha Jones does say (my emphasis):
The learner will be asked to complete the remaining fields correctly to match with Short Answers or Multiple Choice responses.
This seems to me more assessment-like than survey-like activity.
@Itamar,
Well, then, there is a mismatch between the activity presented in the screenshot and the notion of "correctness" as I understand it.
@Samantha,
Is this going to be a quiz/test for assessing the students' knowedge or are you - as I suggested - actually collecting data?
Joseph
Yes, Itamar, your interpretation is correct. It is as an assessment tool.
Hello Itamar
Thank you. The embedded cloze questions is the approach I have been taking. Dina also suggested the background image so will be working on this next. Thank you.
Hi Samantha Jones,
ya it can be possible into Imake maker/GD libriary into moodle but need explaination on the same.
Regards,
Dina
