Importing Quiz with Category and Category Description

Importing Quiz with Category and Category Description

Hello all,

thank you for reading smile

I have Moodle 3.0 installed and am trying to bulk upload quizzes via import in GIFT format.

I need to add some text to the question in a form that is not shown to students but can be included in a report for teachers. Something like maybe a category description, tag or similar. Below is a GIFT format of what is uploaded, the bold text is a mockup of what I am hoping to add:

$CATEGORY: Category of the question:

$WANT_THIS_REPORTED: This text is not visible to students. It can be seen by teachers running a report.

Question text.

{

~wrong answer

~wrong answer

~wrong answer.

=correct answer

}

Is there a good way to achieve this? Or can anyone perhaps recommend another way to do this?


Thank you in advance for your help smile


Pat

The GIFT import format supports named question using the ::title:: symbol, and question names aren't displayed to students, I think, so you could possibly use this to support text for teachers.

If using tags is sufficient for your reports, a possible alternative is my WordTable plugin, which supports tags and hints. I'm not sure how they can be used in reports, though the Question Search plugin might help.
