Hi Tim

Please allow me to draw your attention to this conversation http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=55792

Once you have seen this post you'd appreciate that the following lines are an excerpt from moodle help file for gift format

Feedback:
Feedback can be included for each answer by following the answer with a number sign (# also known as a hash mark) and the feedback.

     What's the answer to this multiple-choice question?{
~wrong answer#feedback comment on the wrong answer
~another wrong answer#feedback comment on this wrong answer
=right answer#Very good!}

Who's buried in Grant's tomb?{
=no one#excellent answer!
=nobody#excellent answer!}

Grant is buried in Grant's tomb.{FALSE#No one is buried in Grant's tomb.}

For Multiple Choice questions, feedback is displayed only for the answer the student selected. For short answer, feedback is shown only when students input the corresponding correct answer. For true-false questions, the imported feedback is saved so that it will display if the student chose the wrong answer. So, in the last example above, the student would see the feedback only if they selected TRUE as their answer.


The red line above about the feedback needs to be changed because as shown by me and also in the example file attached, feedback for wrong answers can also be given


short answers making screen has only right answers provision and feedback provision.....so if you want to give a feedback on wrong answer, put an asterisk (*) in the answer field......and VOILA
remember, just the asterisk. Nothing else. if you put any other character, then this will not work because computer actually will interpret this wildcard as the right answer too and give the feedback associated with it but sinc the grade will be zero, your student wont get any marks.
Remember: you cannot do negative marking in this type and ANYTHING other than you right answer will be treated as option 4 due to the wildcard and given that feedback and zero marks.

example:

Who's buried in Grant's tomb?{=%100%none#good =%100%nobody#good =%0%*#that was wrong}

i have tried this out successfully so might as well add this point in help file for 1.7

Actually, it is Howard that look after the import and export code. Hoefully he will see this.

If you want to make sure, please file a bug in the tracker. And if you want to make it easy for us, please suggest exactly what the new version of the help should say, so we can just copy and paste it. Thanks.
