image upload as answer

I have a teacher who wants me to create a quiz question which asks students to draw and label a graph. This doesn't seem to be possible with any of the standard question types (unless we want ASCII art smile Does anyone know of any question type, or method to either: 1. Give students a simple drawing interface, perhaps something like the khanacademy scratchpad, with the finished drawing being uploaded as answer; or, 2. have a file upload box as a question answer field. Obviously this would be teacher marked, and I know the "draw a graph" question could be removed from the quiz and implemented as an assignment, but it seems like it would compromise the flow, and not give as good of an experience. Any ideas?

Which version of Moodle? Since Moodle 2.1, the Essay question type supports attachments.

We have 2.3 I found the "moodle media" icon in tinyMCE, is that what you're talking about? I couldn't figure out how to get that to work last night, but I'll continue with that today. Thanks.

I believe my problem is that the "insert image" button does not show me the file picker, but ratherI get an "Insert/edit image" dialog (picture attached) where the only way to add an image is to reference it's url. I'm trying to find the option for this, but my searches haven't turned up anything just yet.

I'll post when I find it.

Hi Neil. Can you just clarify that you have this problem ONLY with the quiz essay question or you have it with ALL instances on your Moodle where you try to upload an image? I'm asking because the forum thread you linked to is related to adding an image to the front page site description and the tracker is related to not being able to add an image in assignment feedback - so neither is essay questions, but it might be that your image uploading problem is wider than that.

Neil, PoodLL works as you described in method 1. You can draw a picture over an uploaded image and that is uploaded as the response to the question when the whiteboard save button is pressed. There is a demo on this page, the whiteboard drawing picture is the third in the quiz. http://demo.poodll.com/mod/quiz/view.php?id=40 Login as username: 20 , password: 20 ( or any user from 01-50) Admin credentials are on the top page.
