I'd like to allow the students to use the HTMLEditor when they answer an essay question.

So how can I go about it?

Well I solved it anyway. I also managed to send the essay attempt and instructor comments to the Student's Simple Portfolio.

I also need students to use the HTML Editor when they answer a question (preferably Short answer question). Whatever I try I only get plain text box.

How can I turn HTML Editor on for student's answers?

It is quite impossible to use the HTML editor with the Short Answer question type. The HTML editor introduces HTML code which could not be interpreted by the Short Answer response analysis system, do the student's response must be plain text.

By default editor is enabled in Essay question type but only in one (first essay) on page: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Essay_question_type

9.Make sure there is only one essay per page - the rich text editor will only appear for the first essay question on a page.

If moodle does not render editor in Essays or elsewhere check http://docs.moodle.org/en/HTML_editor_FAQ

Sorry, Mauno, but you got it wrong.wink

The HTML editor is enabled for the Essay question type in the Quiz module. It is not available in the Lesson module at all.

Oh - too bad - I have not used Lesson module and have missed this part...

Is there some particular reason why editor is not enabled in Lesson Essays? (should check the code anyway...)

I just noticed that this is a Lesson forum (particularly useful for me!!!)  big grin

ahem, Mauno, you really ought to be more careful where you are posting... that should teach you a lesson.tongueout
Anyway, I do not see any particular reason why in the Lesson module the essay can only be written in plain text. I've had a look at the code and it should not be too difficult to change that. The problem is that the Lesson module seems to no longer being actively maintained.
