Hi,
I need functionality on our site that will allow us to do the following:
1. Viewer starts a test that will comprise of a series of questions
2. Those question has to be answered either as a text / drawing (something like google drawing application which can be implemented with any test plugin)
3. After submission all the questions (and answers) are submitted to the admin
Please give me some solution for this.
Thanks
Kritika
Moodle can do 1. and 3. - that is exactly how a quiz made out of 'essay' questions works.
What it cannot do yet is 2. That would require a new question-type plugin that provides the user with some tool to draw with, and then ensures that the image is uploaded when they submit. It would be an interesting development project to create such a quetsion type, but no one has done that yet.
In the mean time, you could set up a quiz where the student draws the image using some other software, and then uploads it as an attchment to an essay question response, but that is not the same.
This drawing issue has been asked a couple of times and the "answer" depends partly on what you want to get as answer - and in some cases you might prefer using for example assignments instead of quiz...
If you want to use google drawings you can create and share editable drawings if you have a Google Docs account with links like
https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1bjM-rpJQck1K8LDCr89h0idEasPCiDwjzk-s7DpJhOM/edit
and if you use editor image button with correct link you can share such drawings for groups or individuals (depending on where you put the links) like this
and for example http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=128880 has some examples of tools that could be used as well - offline or online, with a 3rd party plugin in moodle (editor) or outside moodle with links...
Tim, Mauno, is it possible that a Google Sketchup plugin might be developed to allow something like this? (I have no idea how it could be done, have no idea how Sketchup works, but the Tech Studies guys seem to think this is a good thing to use.)
At least it is possible to embed code from http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse with tags like
<iframe src="http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/mini?mid=38dc1369e5680f771197663c308adec2&etyp=sw&width=400&height=300" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" width="400" height="300"></iframe>
so creating a filter to create such iframe tags should not be difficult (for such activities where iframes as html tags are not allowed).
