Bogart,

This problem would be solved if your students save their answers more often. Each time they select the Save without submitting button, the session handling timer would be reset and then they should have no problem compeleting the quiz.

You can help them do this by not only asking them to save periodically, but you could also limit the questions per page (we usually recommend to our faculty 10-20 questions per page). This way that after every 10-20 questions, they (students) will see the Save without submitting button and will select it before jumping to the next page of questions. This also helps save their answers up to that point in case they experience technical difficulties (loss of internet connectivity, power outage, etc.) The students then have something to continue instead of having to start all over again.

In regards to changing the coding to extend the session handling time limit, you will have to wait for someone else to respond as I don't have access to the backend of my system.

They will only see the numerical information of the overall score they received, not per question. Oops meant to put that next to the Responses section. Thanks for pointing that out.

If you have the Review Options set like this, then students will get something that looks like this when they select the quiz after a couple of quiz attempts.

The Marks column stands for how many questions they got right (5 questions on quiz) and the Grade column for what their final grade was (total points possible was 10 for quiz).

If you were to also have Responses selected, the quiz attempt number would be a hyperlink that they could select to see their quiz attempt and what they answered.

You can set this in the Review Options found in the quiz settings. You will want to have everything unchecked in the Immediately after attempt and Later, while quiz is still open columns except for Scores. The quiz settings can be found starting on the course homepage and select Turn Editing On. Then select the Update icon next to the quiz. The Review Options section will be at the bottom.

Furthermore, I wrote some documentation in the past on the Review Options in Moodle for quizzes that I think would be helpful. It was just barely over the 100 KB file size Moodle.org limits so I put it in my Dropbox instead so you and others can download. To download click here or go to http://db.tt/qWG1Iyr. In the documentation it makes reference to the default settings of the Review Options. Your default may be different than mine though so don't worry about that. In addition, your Update icon may look slightly different as we have a custom set of icons for our Moodle instance.

Note: In the future, I may have removed it from my Dropbox due to updating or clearing out old files. If you would like the documentation, please feel to email me at marty@csun.edu.

I ran into this error message when looking at the reports log for a student who said they had taken a quiz. I was able to track down that the instructor had deleted the attempt. However, it was not easy to do so because the details in the reports log, specifically the Information column of the student's activity on the quiz, did not match what appears in the teacher's report logs.

I then tried replicating the problem, as follows.

1. I selected the link that said Quiz Continue Attempt (I know its different action than Quiz Close Attempt link but they lead to same place so that is not a factor) to get that pop up.
2. I then instead of selecting, scrolled over the Quiz Continue Attempt link to see the URL it would take me too. You can see it here in the bottom right corner. You'll notice that the quiz attempt ID (395257) is not the same as the number put in the Information column (25212).
3. However, in the teacher's report who deleted the quiz attempt, you can see that the quiz attempt ID is displayed correctly in the Information column.

So my question is two-pronged.

1. Why in the student report does it not display the quiz attempt ID in the Information column if it does in the teacher's report?
2. What is that number (25212) inserted in the Information column referencing?

Joseph,

Is there any update on this bug or do you have a tracker number I can follow?

In my testing ( currently running 1.9.11):

If I created a questionnaire with a value entered as submission grade, a column would be created in gradebook that I could not erase.

If I created a questionnaire with No Grade entered as submisson grade, a column would not be created in gradebook. When users submitted a questionnaire, there was still no column in the gradebook. However, if I updated any of the questionnaire settings (open/close date, type, etc.) or even just went into questionnaire settings and did not change any settings but re-saved the same settings, a column would be created in the gradebook that I could not delete with the name of "Grade". (Similar to Regina's experience above)

I found what I think is a similar tracker issue that has been resolved but from my testing I don't think it has.
