Offline Quiz - How to?

Offline Quiz - How to?

Using Moodle v. 3.2 on Ubuntu 14.04, I've recently installed the "Offline Quiz" plugin.

Unfortunately, the documentation seems to be scarce in regards to the "ID number" that the students need to fill on the answer sheets; it seems logic  that there is to identify the student using an id from the Moodle user database.

As anyone been able to figure out the "ID number"?  How to use it, what to use and how to assign it?

In the "Installation" section of the plugin, it also indicates to add a cron job (https://docs.moodle.org/33/en/Offline_quiz_activity) but not sure how to adjust it to our environment...

Any help from people who use this plugin would be appreciated as it is a plugin that we sure would benefit from it.

Thanks.

Louis.

Hello there. I am going to move your post to the Quiz forum as offline quiz is a plugin. Hopefully you should get some help there. Have you asked the developers via its entry in the plugins database ? https://moodle.org/plugins/mod_offlinequiz

Thank you Mary.

After some digging, searching and trial and errors, I answered my own question...

For the benefits of others, here it is:

As per the documentation for the "offline quiz", it was requesting for the "id number" as the reference into the Moodle database.  "id number" is a field in the "mdl_user" table and in my case is not filled in for any of the users (don't know exactly what it relates to...).

This reference to the Moodle database can be other field in the "mdl_user" table; I have used another one (unique) to identify the participants to the offline quiz.  This field needs to be identified into the "offline quiz" settings: 

Hence from then on, pertaining documents for the offline quiz had this id along with participants.  And upon scanned documents review in Moodle, the reference was completed.

This plugin is quite impressive once mastered.  Kudos to the designers.

Louis.
