[Lessons] Show Content and Questions on same Page

Hello,

is there a possibility to

  • insert questions within a Content Page?
  • show multiple Question Pages and Content Pages on the same page?
The effect of both options should be the same: being able to ask questions within a text. I am aware that sometimes it is necessary to submit question answers before moving on. But sometimes you could just ask a question (multiple choice) give instantly feedback below the question and move on with your educational text on the same site.

Do you get me? 

Any ideas about how to achieve this?

Best regards
Nico

Nico S,

when you say:  'Do you get me?'

Given your post has sat around for a while...

Can you guess the answer? 微笑

You refer to lesson...but it sounds as though you are specifically talking about the quiz feature?

*shaking head* I don't understand, sorry.

More info? Perhaps.

"*shaking head* I don't understand, sorry."

No problem, let me explain it. I created a quick wireframe. 



First there is a content section, followed by a multiple choice question with instant feedback. Then there is a short content section again. Finally there is an essay question.

I know I could achieve something similar by creating a question page sequence. But I want several content and question sections on the  same page. Don't get me wrong I don't want to put a whole lesson on one single site. But more than one question or content block per site.


I suppose I do already know the answer myself: no, this is not possible. But if anyone does know a workaround, please let me know!

Hi Nico,

I like your proposal. I use the lesson module quite often but I miss some flexibility. It could be great if there is the possibility to combine the questions in a single page, like in the quizz module.

Regards,

Beatriz.

Hi Beatriz & Nico,

Yes, there is a way of doing it. See: Embedded Answers (Cloze) question type http://docs.moodle.org/26/en/Embedded_Answers_%28Cloze%29_question_type The formatting takes a little while to learn and get used to but I think it's well worth the effort and one of the best features of the Quiz module. I use a text editor to write Embedded Answers content and then copy and paste it into the Quiz module. This allows me to use copy and paste, and search and replace for the more repetitive parts of writing the question codes.

If you want to embed external pages, you can also use iframes (requires some basic HTML coding). However the embedded pages (iframes) must be suitable for embedding, i.e. no extraneous information, navigation, etc., and an appropriate size. In other words, their usefulness is quite limited. See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/iframe and you can search the web for tutorials and other examples.

I hope this helps! 微笑

Sorry for asking again.

The cloze question type is for quizzes only. There is no way of using the cloze question type within a lesson, right?

Hi Nico,

Yes, the Lesson module is like the Book module but with some grading/scoring and "branching scenarios." If the Quiz module had conditional questions/pages/sections and pages with no questions on, it could effectively replace the Lesson and Book modules. I don't think those functionalities should be separated across modules in this way.

It's possible to "hack" the Quiz module so that it shows quiz pages/questions without any navigation or blocks (write an alternative view.php page, e.g. view_no_nav.php with the navigation and block printing code removed). In this case it would be possible to embed Quizzes into Lessons in iframes. No for the feint hearted though!

Thanks Matt,

it seems that most teachers have replaced the lesson with the quiz, as you propose. I wrote a post in the lesson forum and the solution was using the quiz module.

Regards,

Beatriz.

Just a thought. If using quizzes instead of lessons. You can add a link in the feedback out to other materials or a website so that students can have more information. Setting up the link to open in a new window and the student doesn't actually leave the quiz. Might give you a similar functionality to the lesson going to more content then returning to the question.

Thanks Paula for the great ideas. I make use of this feature in quizzes. According to my "schema", I use quizzes for assessment and review (then I use the fantastic features of the quiz module), and the lessons and the book for presenting new content (I think in a similar way like Nico).

But next time I wil definitively try to present new information with a quiz. Some teachers have recommend this so it must work.

Regards,

Beatriz.

Yes, if the Quiz module had conditional questions / pages (as you said). Right now it doesn't. But the Questionnaire module does. However this module comes with different question types again. Tricky thing.

I guess I will stick to the Lesson module and have to accept the restricted question types and restriction of one question / content section per site.

Matt thanks for your input! Even though I have no proper solution it helped me a lot!
