Dear Moodlers,
does anyone know a working offline-question/quiz-authoring software beside Respondus and question-machine?
Best regards
Sebastian
My old copy of Examview (version 4) works. However, I do not know of any product (even Respondus) that supports all of Moodle's question types.
Some of our textbooks come with Examview or Testgen. Both will produce a Blackboard export that can import into Moodle.
A text editor with Aiken- or GIFT-formatted questions is the obvious offline authoring approach, but for slightly more sophistication such as support for feedback, a list of plug-ins that support other authoring tools (e.g. HotPot, Word) is available at Question Format.
Hi Eoin,
Do Aiken and GIFT imports support images in the questions/answers? The reason I have pointed my teachers to Examview is the ability to include images in question imports.
Hello Rob,
Standard GIFT import format doesn't support images, sounds and videos, but there is a plugin that add this functionality: gift with medias format https://moodle.org/plugins/view/qformat_giftmedia. The syntax is exactly the same and it support all GIFT functionalities.
Just for your information; there's a basic question generator for IOS (iPad) which will present Respondus with a CSV file called CSVcreator. This is just a convenience program for those people on the move. I wrote it for myself as I rarely use windows.
I'm in the process of writing a Mac version with Aiken and other support for Moodle, Respondus and maybe Blackboard.
Thanks for all your answers!
