Hello Heather "it brings with it anything that has been put in the top of the topic box, the bit you can edit above the adding a resource or adding an activity."

I have no idea what you mean by that "bit". If you could include a screenshot it would make things easier.

Anyway, if you want to re-use the same questionnaire in more than one course, the right way to go is (1) to create a "template" questionnaire in any of your courses. Then you can create new instances of questionnaires in other courses, simply by (2) "copying" that template. See attached screenshots.

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for your appreciation of the Questionnaire module. I did not create it, only took part in its refactoring in various stages, and I am co-maintaining it with the invaluable help of Mike Churchward.

1.- That said, let me clarify things, and explain the expected behavior of the so-called "public" questionnaires.

• In Course A, create questionnaire QA and make it "public" and set it to "Groups separate"
• In Course B, create questionaire QB based on public questionnaire QA
• In Course C, create questionaire QC based on public questionnaire QA
• Courses B and C have students grouped into groups.
• Students answer the questionnaires in courses B and C.
• Then, the teacher can view the responses from courses B and C "consolidated" in questionnaire QA in course A.
• Because the "consolidated results" in QA in course A may come from a number of courses which may have groups (or not), and those groups may have identical names, it would be quite complicated to display the results other than "in bulk". Should we have a feature to display results from individual courses? from individual courses AND groups within those courses OR across the courses? What do you think?
  

2.- You write "3) If I go to the first course, I can see all of the questionnaire results regardless of whether they were submitted in the first or second course"

Does this mean that, in that scenario, you have students in Course A who actually can respond to public questionnaire QA? That should not be. A "public" questionnaire should be placed in a special course with no students in it, and should not be taken. It should only be used as a repository to collect data from the other courses where it has been "copied" for that purpose.

3.- You write "I was expecting that I would get the "View responses" tab at the top of the instance in the second course, as well, but in fact, there are no tabs at all at the top of the questionnaire in the 2nd course. I don't think it's a permission issue since I'm the site admin."

This is the intended behavior of questionnaire instances based on a public questionnaire. No one is allowed to view the responses in the courses where they have been created. Responses are only available to the original public questionnaire, in the course where it was created. This is clearly mentioned in the online Help file (Advanced Settings tab / Content options / Questionnaire Type).

EDITED

Hi Oleg,
As I wrote in that discussion, the whole idea of censorship is technically flawed and ethically undefendable.
Could we please remove the censor filter from Moodle for good?

Thanks for that info, Petr. The thing is that the Questionnaire module historically features the possibility for the teacher to choose from several "skins"/themes.
If we follow your advice and put all of the css into the one style.css file, I guess that we'll have to abandon that feature of skin choices. I never found it terribly useful anyway.
