Quiz

Now with a Clear Questions button.

To be honest, feedback is not a priority for me since I use Japanese in the feedback and I think that there may be problems with the encoding.

But here is how I often write questions...

By splitting both the question and the answer into subject and predicate and then arranging them.
How do you spell the surname of
How do you spell the name of
What is the spelling of the family name of

the man who started Moodle.
the man who wrote the bulk of the Moodle code.
Martin, the moodler.
(That is nine questions)

In the answers I do not write trick answers with incorrect subjects but use a variety
It is
It is spelt
The spelling is

I vary the predicate/second part of the sentence to make correct or incorrect using GIFT notation.

=Dougiamas
=D O U G I A M A S

~Dougamias
~Dougiamias
~Dogiamias
~D O G I A M A S

There are quite a lot of permutations. It would be nice to have gift_maker make them for me.

no doubt this is great tool but i have some problm with this..

for example if i go with 1) click on clear Questions button. Than copy and past new question answer with 4 option of answer than.. this only take only 1 answer ( without closing " } " bracket) 

“ Plz try this data for example “

1. The project is in the planning process group when three stakeholders come to the
project manager asking for information on the company’s new project management
methodology, where it came from and why it is different from how they manage
projects. These stakeholders are also friends of the project manager and the entire
group has worked together for years. The project is using some new terms like
“corrective action” that are making some stakeholders nervous as they are unsure if
the way the project will be managed is going to change along with new terms. What
should the project manager do?
A. Advise the stakeholders that he will keep them in the communication loop for
the project.
B. Supply a list of new terms and their definitions.
C. Notify the project management office.
D. Make sure he maintains his authority as the project manager even though they
are friends.

Dear Ben Rich

Since the problem is with the line

FName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename("Rename_me.gft", filefilter:="GIFT files (*.gft), *.gft,Text files, *.txt,All Files, *.*", _
    Title:="Please pick a file name for your GIFT file")

I guess that Mac may not like the use of the ".gtf" file extension, so you could try changing the above to
FName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename("Rename_me.txt", filefilter:="Text files, *.txt,All Files, *.*", _
    Title:="Please pick a file name for your GIFT file")

But I am not sure.

Hi John,

This tool is very very clunky and stoneage. All of the work is done by hundreds of conditionals in the excel sheet. Only saving to a file is done by a macro.

Using the same method it would not be theoretically difficult to change all the conditionals so that they use 5 options instead of 4, but I bet I would make a mistake changing them.

You are welcome to have a try. First off all click on the edit the sheet button near the top and then have a look in the cells to the right of the input area.

The short answer maker worksheet also includes an optional prefix such as "a" or "the" or "in" so that entering the following into the excel file
What is yamaguchi, a , city, town
will create
What is Yamaguchi?{=City =a City =Town =a Town}

Where the right answers are doubled up to include both the answer and the prefix plus the answer.
