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

hi alfred

i'll give you this tip only if you buy me a drink

here is an example:

ques: what is a rabbit?

right answers

answer1: animal
feedback: right, carry on my dear
grade: 100%

answer2: mammal
feedback: right, you are very good
grade: 100%

answer3: vertebrate
feedback: right, i love you man
grade: 100%

answer4: *
feedback: ouch! that was wrong
grade: none

that simple

John, Bill et al

What we are discussing here emanates from a basic problem-

"Whether my repository of images should be sharable or not?"
Now if it's sharable, then too, it should have conditional access( if you wanted an open to all folder, we wouldn't be discussing this here)
If it's not sharable, how will my students access it?
If it's not sharable, then the same teacher may have to create duplicate repositories for various courses.
How will they be backed up.
There is no simple straightforward solution and that's why i had suggested an additional folder somwhere on your server.

However, it appears that that may neither be very agreable nor secure enough for certain users.

Here's a suggestion worth trying:-
there are web-locking softwares available for free which password protect a folder on the web. so try password locking a folder. zip it. upload it into site files. unzip it there. use it as your repository.

Try.(_if anyone needs such a folder password locking software, go to downloads.com or freedownloadscenter.com or message me

Dear Ger
I guess it's not fair here to say
