Sorry, my syntax was wrong in my previous message, it should have been:
{:SHORTANSWER:=none~#correct~=na#correct~=n/a#correct~=N/A#correct~*#Sorry, try something else}
Steven, you are right, the / slash sign does not need to be escaped. I'm surprised that you say that if your students enter N/A they get it wrong!
Pierre, can you test that the following is right:
The only sign that needs to be escaped is the closing curly bracked }
The following signs must NOT be escaped: { # ~ /

Steven > "is not showing N/A or n/a as correct in multiple questions."
What do you mean by "multiple questions"? Are you actually talking about the Cloze question, SHORTANSWER sub-question type or the MULTICHOICE question type?
If you are actually talking about the SHORTANSWER sub-question type, then the following syntax will accept all 4 variants as correct (as suggested by Pierre Pichet):
{:SHORTANSWER:=none~#correct=na~#correct=n/a#correct~=N/A#correct~*#Sorry, try something else}

Emilie > les menus d'aide (les bulles) ont été mises à jour avec les indications pour la nouvelle version, mais pas les fonctionnalités...
Ce n'est pas possible. Les bulles d'aide doivent correspondre! Vous avez bien mis à jour le module Questionnaire en prenant la bonne version (pour moodle 1.9, surtout pas "latest version", qui est pour moodle 2.0 ?). Tu peux poster des copies d'écran montrant votre problème?

Pour le questionnaire, l'intérêt du questionnaire public est de centraliser toutes les réponses données dans divers cours dans un seul questionnaire au final. J'ai l'impression que pour ce que vouliez faire il aurait fallu créer non pas un questionnaire public mais un template (modèle).

Clare > "HOWEVER, when you make changes to the original glossary the copied glossary does not reflect the changes i.e. the glossaries are not linked."

Clare, you are not alone. The impossibility to share glossaries (and other resources) between courses is in my opinion one of the main weak points of Moodle. I'm afraid the answer to your query is - as it was back in 2005 - "You can't do it".

There have been in the past years a fair number of ventures to make Moodle resources shareable between courses, but those ventures often involve complicated workarounds and I have found none to be fully satisfactory. What is needed is a strong body of moodle users who do need this feature, are are vocal enough to make their voices heard, plus an institution (or group of institutions) with the manpower or money to contribute to the necessary development to make it happen. Maybe in moodle version 3.0...
