Hi,

I created an free and open source web apps that might interest some of you. 

This apps allow you to extract form data of libreoffice writer document, so you can create an activity in libreoffice writer with some question and form input to answer (textarea, checkbox, etc.), ask student to do the activity, get back the filled document and use my app to extract student answer into a spreadsheet (.csv) file.

I use it for teaching and the app work very well with moodle because you can create an activity Assignment to manage the file :

the student can download the activity, fill the document, put it back on moodle, and then you can download all work from student in one click and put them in one drag on my app to extract answer.

The web apps is in french (but there isn't lots of text) but I translated some of the help in english.

Webapp : https://degrangem.github.io/Fodte/

Github : https://github.com/DegrangeM/Fodte

Moodle integration help : https://github.com/DegrangeM/Fodte/wiki/Use-with-Moodle

For thoose wondering why creating an activity in libreoffice writer instead of using the Test activity of moodle for example, I found that libreoffice allow you to do things much quicker and to give you more liberty on how to organize your document. It's also allow student to work offline (expect for the download and upload part).

Hello,

Unfortunately, I don't see an option to switch to the English language. Also: are you going to add other languages (Chinese, for example)? Been using Libreoffice Writer in class for a couple of years already, but I've just started teaching a bilingual course (English-Chinese) wirth Moodle.

Unfortunatly, the apps doesn't support multiple language. You can however, edit the source code de translate directly in the code.

But the apps can be used without knowing the language, there are only a few sentence and the text is not really important. You just have to drag and drop odt files and then push the button to get the csv file.
