Quiz

Thankyou very much for this 

Yeah!

Thanks for doing this Jean-Michel!

Thanks a lot Jean-Michel, 

I've never tested the 1.9 version but I'll test and hopefully use your version as soon as it will be accepted in the plugin repository. I also see high potential in use it as a learning activity. 

I am pleased to announce that the Question creation activity is now available in the Moodle Plugins directory at https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=mod_qcreate

This plugin is compatible with Moodle 2.7 and 2.8, it will not work with previous versions of Moodle.

Very important warning (I already wrote that in the docs but I think this is not enough so I will say it again here) you must absolutely have the Moodle cron running at regular and short intervals, if this is not the case, students will will not be able to write questions when the activity open.

You can post bugs and improvements suggestions in the tracker.

I started some documentation, but you are welcome to improve it.

Hello,

Just a short note that I was forced to release version 2.02 of the Question creation activity because I made a silly mistake in the backup code: I wrote the same line twice!

This unfortunately make all backups of course where there is a question creation activity to fail, so I urge all users having installed versions 2.0 and 2.01 to upgrade to 2.02 version ASAP.

Many thanks to Renaat Debleu for reporting this problem in CONTRIB-5419. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Quite comically I forgot to upgrade my own production website and was worried that some of my backups were failing ... until I realized today that they were all the courses where I have question creation activities 

Dear Jean-Michell,

thanks for your marvelous module.

Some questions (maybe hints for the further improvement):

a) Student see only his own questions and total grade of each of one. With the aim to pass him the teacher's feedback of question evaluation/grading, could the student please see the grading comment window ? With delivered feedback he could continually improve his questions.

b) When there is a lot of students in the course, who create a lot of questions,  grading of all of them by teacher becomes  time-consuming.  I am thinking  if it would be possible to include other ("referee") students into question evaluation and grading. But this feature would require  more programming work.  

Yours, Miro

Hello Jean-Michel,

Thank you for this useful activity! I've got it working except for the export to Gift format

When i select in the Administration block "Export Good" using "File format" "Gift format" it shows the error:

Warning: require_once(/var/www/sites/some.site.se/moodle283/question/format/$fromform->format/format.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/sites/some.site.se/moodle283/mod/qcreate/exportgood.php on line 94

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/var/www/sites/some.site.se/moodle283/question/format/$fromform->format/format.php' (include_path='/var/www/sites/some.site.se/moodle283/lib/zend:/var/www/sites/some.site.se/moodle283/lib/pear:.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/sites/some.site.se/moodle283/mod/qcreate/exportgood.php on line 94

The version of qcreate is 

running Moodle2.8.3+ (Build: 20150225) on Ubuntu 14.04LTS using MySQL

I appreciate any hint to get the Gift format export working!

Dear Jean-Michel,

students can create new questions, but can not edit/view them. Only teacher can do that.

Is there a way to allow students edit/view their questions ?

Thanks, Miro

Thanks a lot Jean-Michel for this useful plugin !

By default, all the questions created by the students are added in the question bank category of the activity (activity context). Is it possible to add the questions in another, broader, context by default, like in the question bank category of the course (course context) ? I know that it is possible to change manually the category of a question, but it would be easier for the teachers if it is by default.

We are using Question Creation Activity 2.05 with Moodle 3.0.2 .

Thanks again,

Eric Terroux

Hi, 

First off, thanks a lot for the plugin - great idea! 

An error message is displayed when I try to edit the name of a 'Question creation' activity using the pencil icon next to the activity's name on a course page. Please see below

JavaScript error

Please note that nothing gets printed to the console.

Is that something you have come across before? Do you know how I would go about fixing it?

Cheers,

Hello,

I love this plugin and have a feature request. I often use this plugin for a cooperative, reflexive task:

1. Students (that are going to work as teacher) are developing questions
2. Afterwards I create a quiz out of those questions with a random selection out of all. (students don't need to see all questions, that would be too much)
3. At the end students have to select the best and worst questions and give feedback to the authors in a forum. For easier coordination the name of the author should be part of the discussion title.
   

The main problem in this scenario is, that the students are not able to see the author of the question. Even if i prepend the authors name at the export it is only part of the question name, which is not visible to students. The task I assigned to the students says, they should provide their names in the question text, but most of them forget this.

So here is my feature request:

• Would it be possible to implement a checkbox that prepends or appends the name of the author to the question text?
  

Kind regards

Robert

Has anyone compared Question Create Activity with StudentQuiz?  I'm just curious about the differences between the two.

It seems that QCA limits grading to just the teacher, whereas StudentQuiz allows the students to test out the questions and comment on them before the final phase of grading.
