Moodle 3.5: Quiz Question remain at top as students scroll answers

Hi,

Moodle version 3.5:

Is there a way for a quiz question to remain at the top of the screen as students scroll down the answers in a multiple choice question?


We have some questions in a quiz that require students to find the correct image that matches the diagram in the question.  As the answer diagrams are quite big, the student has to scroll down to view all the available answers resulting in the question no longer being visible at the top.


Does anyone know a solution to this?


Thanks,

Without knowing exactly what you are trying to accomplish, I will provide you my quick idea.

Whenever I have something "big" in a quiz, I use a hyperlink to it so that students can download it to their computer and see it full size.  This is how I make quiz questions appear better.  For example, in my statistics course, I want students to view a big data file.  I put this on my website, create a link to it in Moodle, and students simply download it and view it in Excel.

You will find a sample question and the xml file at https://moodleformulas.org/course/view.php?id=49&section=11.

The code is easy to understand if you know the basic HTML syntax. It is essentially formatting (color, size, etc.).

Ran into the same problem when trying to help someone set up a bookkeeping question. As Dominique mentions, we used the Formulas question type, due to it's versatility.  We also used the Formatted Toggle bundle for the Generio filter to hide portions of the questions, until they were needed. You could also use the Accordion bundle or the Tab Items. As you can see from this partial picture of the result, each of the two toggles is set up to show/hide a space wasting list, that is viewable only when clicked. Using the same technique, you can also show/hide pictures and videos.

Hi Thomas,

You must check the HTML code and make sure it is correct. If you can not find the error, attach the question's XML file so that we can examine it.

It's working now. The only thing i don't understand is how to edit or change the original image. I can't find a folder where the embedded images are stored.
