I’m using Moodle version 3.8

I have a test bank with lots of MCQ as part of my course.

Every MCQ has 4 choices and each choice has a comment / feedback explaining why this choice is correct or incorrect .

My students need to read each comment even if the answer is incorrect as part of the learning but the problem they need to reload the page 4 times to read all the comments which I find time consuming and boring.

My question is there option in Moodle which allow all the comments to be loaded once and when the student select the choice the comment will appear without the need to reload the page with every change in choice ?

You can try this:

Quiz settings -> Question behaviour -> How questions behave: Adaptive mode

By clicking in succession on the various choices and clicking the Check button, the students will see all the various feedbacks without having to reload the page.

Hello Reham,

Unfortunately there are no settings for the "study mode". It is done with JavaScript, a bit complicated if you are not familiar with it, simple otherwise yet somewhat tedious to apply if you have many questions. You can download the XML file of the example and see how it is done by looking at the HTML code of the question text and choices.

As it stands now, the "study mode" is just a workaround until a proper plugin is available.

Well, you asked for a solution which would not need the student to "reload the page". With my solution the page is not reloaded, a simple click on the Check button will display the relevant feedback.
From a pedagogical (and ergonomics) point of view I don't think it's logical to display ALL the feedback messages (correct & incorrect) upon clicking one (radio button) choice.

The feedback messages are meant to be displayed for each individual choice. You say you want to "make it easy for the students". On the contrary I maintain that what you want would be distracting and, again, illogical.
