Hi Zack,

The quick answer is "no, this is not possible" (at the moment).

The long answer is that - for me - the kind of questions that you would ask in a quiz are totally different in their nature from the questions you ask in a survey-type activity such as Questionnaire (or Feedback). The former (quiz) will get from the respondents answers which will be judged as "correct" or "incorrect", whereas there is no notion of correctness in a survey. Therefore I do not see how that feature might be useful.

However, I agree it would be useful if the Questionnaire (and the Feedback) modules offered a "questions bank" feature similar to the one in the Quiz module. This has been asked in CONTRIB-1255 and anyone is welcome to vote for it.

Hi Sam,

1- Just upgraded to your "small change" and everything is OK now, thanks!

2- I have a more general question related to the testing of moodle 2.0 dev. I am finding it quite difficult to conduct tests with the present dev version, for the following reasons:
a. Essential features such as backup & restore, access to course files, are missing or lead to error messages.
b. For most modules, when debug mode is ON, tons of error messages are displayed.
c. For the modules I have tried, some features are not implemented or, again, lead to sometimes cryptic error messages.
d. A simple "standard" theme is missing (I know this is being discussed in the Themes forum).

I do appreciate that moodle 2.0 is in full development, a number of its core features are being destroyed upgraded continuously, but ... surely HQ want people to test it while it's in its beta state. At the moment, it seems almost impossible to conduct tests, because of all the problems encountered. OK, now for something more positive. Where exactly should one report bugs encountered in 2.0? Here in the development forum? In the bug tracker? In the various modules forums? What is the current best strategy? How does one know that what appears as a bug is indeed a bug which should be reported or a temporary development problem?

Thanks,
Joseph
