Quiz

Hello Kelly,

You could add a Description type question on the first page of the quiz to warn students. You could also add another Description question as the last question on each page to alert students.

If you want the students to receive an even clearer warning, you could for example add a small script that attaches an alert to the "Next page" button and to the "Finish attempt ..." button. I don't think there is a setting or plugin for this.

I wrote a little script that does the job just fine. A teacher can simply put it in a quiz block. If you want to apply the code to the whole site, it might need a few tweaks to make sure it only takes effect for quizzes with the sequential navigation method.

Note that students can return to the last question after clicking on "Finish attempt ...". In my opinion, it's a bug in the sequential navigation method.

You can try the question at https://moodleformulas.org/course/view.php?id=77§ion=28 ↗.

Method

• Copy the JavaScript code below.
• Add an HTML block to your quiz and add the JavaScript code to the Content of the block.
• In the Configuration of the block and under "Where this block appears", set "Display on page types" to "Any quiz module page".
