I did not read it fully as it didn't appear VERY intersting to me. But I'd like to make a comment especially in light of the fact that this forum had to be moved and moderated recently.

When we were taught fundamental rights as kids, our teachers used to describe fundamental duties in the same breath. My moral science teacher used to repeat ad nauseum, that if you do not fulfill your fundamental duties don't talk about your rights either.(Concept of fundamental rights and duties varies from culture to culture, of course)
What I am surprised about is that when people become so vocal about freedom of speech they never mention what responsibility and duty accompanies this golden freedom. They want a no holds barred discussions but is that what was meant by freedom of speech?
Even if your idea of responsibility and duty differs from mine, it'd be worthwhile to know exactly what one thinks about it. When you say freedom of speech what responsibility, what onus are you ready to shoulder for executing that freedom and to ensure that this freedom lives on.
Most people want anarchic discussions and freedom of speech simply means 'no one should curtail MY freedom of speaking my mind'...while all the time, I was taught, freedom of any sort is about your culture, your country and the way you want your kids to grow.
I don't know if anyone wishes to differ(everyone has a right to differ) but humanity was all about controlled behaviour, compassion and intelligent use of resources. Since when did we start reverting towards animal behaviour where every wolf howls at will?

Moodle in English -> Lounge -> Angry teacher video -> Re: Angry teacher video

ved Dr S Bhatia -
In India

Educational institutes do not allow students to bring mobiles with them. so if you have a mobile, it's illegal anyway. Most likely it'll be confiscated the moment someone discovers it.

Though it may not be adhered to in practice to the last word, but if something like this happens, you can't sue or complain coz you are in the wrong in the first place. Interestingly, the rules were brought in to prevent the parents/students lodging complaints for having their cell STOLEN and not for anything else. Most indian students are modest in these regards and teachers are not someone to palter with.
Hi Timothy
Nice to find another quiztest user. I was very impressed with quiztest and in fact I sometimes communicate with Kristina Pfaff-Harris who is the author of those scripts. Very thorough work she'd done.

Unfortunately, I used it rather sparingly because I was a member at quizstar and discovery school, too. And then I found Manhattan and banged my head with it for a long time uselessly. Then I graduated to Atutor and found it profound but less usable than Moodle. So finally settled on Moodle. This took me a six month long process.
But as far as individual testing is concerned, I'd still back quiztest any day for its robust and reliable structure, not to mention thoughtful layout and features.
Am I going about this completely the wrong way?
- should I not be using a quiz at all?
- is there no concept of having completed a course?

hi
you
are not going in completely wrong but somewhat wrong way smiler
you should be using lessons and not quiz.
Then you may do all of the above.

Completing a course means different things for different users.
if you want to unenroll them from a course,preventing future access, you may unenroll manually, or leave it on students to unenroll themsaelves or ask moodle to unenroll them after a certain period. The course itself can be set to complete and expire on a certain date.
The lesson can be set to be taken once only and thus students who are still enrolled but keep re-visiting cannot re-take the MCQ lesson. So it depends what is it that you want to happen upon completion of course.
