Hi Tim
I have been reading your notes on How to Write a Question Type Plugin:
http://docs.moodle.org/en/How_to_write_a_question_type_plugin
I am very pleased to see this as there is a question type which we badly need to develop as it is used in many of our currently paper-based courses and I haven't managed to find it anywhere else.
I note in your article that the template is not complete and that you will continue to update the notes as you go along.
A few questions on this:
- What still needs to be done before this will be ready to use?
- Do you have a rough estimate of when it may be completed (we all understand "rough estimate" doesn't always happen as planned)?
- I have not done any of this type of development before, is there some reading that I should do or things I should be looking up in preparation apart from the obvious things in Developer Docs?
- This one is an open question to everyone on the forum - Does anyone else have a need for a question type where the student marks themself against a model answer so that no tutor intervention is required? This is very useful for allowing a student to see how they are doing in preparation for Exams etc where the answer is not just a single word.
Thanks for the help
Peter
