I would appreciate any feedback or bugs that you may encounter. I hope this block turns out to be useful for someone out there.
The following is from the included README file:
Description:
This block is used for importing WebCT quiz questions. Presently it only supports re-creation of quiz categories from WebCT and importing of Multiple Choice (including True/False), Short Answer and Matching question types. It will also import images that are attached to any question.
Future Development will include support for Paragraph and Calculated question types as well as re-creation of the actual quiz structures. Also a Glossary converter will eventually be built in.
This was a project that was developed to help Migrate our campus from WebCT to Moodle easily and quickly. If you find any bugs or have any feedback please feel free to e-mail me at schewee@mala.bc.ca. I can't promise updates and fixes in a timley mannor due to other projects I have on the go but I will do my best.
Requirements:
Moodle 1.6.1 Stable (July 20th, 2006)
- Moodle running on a MySQL Database
Testing information:
This block has only been tested on Moodle 1.6.1 Stable (July 20th, 2006) on a Redhat Enterprise 4 AS server running Apache 2.0.58, PHP 5.1.4 and MySQL 5.0.22.
It should work fine on any Linux installation. I have not tested it on Windows servers so please e-mail me any bugs/feedback. The versions of Apache and PHP should not matter and same goes for MySQL.
This block will chances are not work on any version of Moodle 1.6. When I tested it on Moodle 1.6 importing the categories would break the entire quiz module in Moodle. This apparently was a bug in Moodle 1.6 that has since been fixed in Moodle 1.6.1.
