I remember 3.9 LTS, especially its quiz engine, underwent deep optimizations. Then it was rewritten in Moodle 4. Therefore I don't believe the old optimizations are valid any more. Moode 4 was a new beginning and the quiz engine is still evolving along the 4.x versions. I haven't found any performance comparisons between 3.9 LTS later releases and say Moodle 4.1 LTS. So whether 4.x quizzes performs better than the 3.9 LTS quizzes is an open question.

 

Unless the OP comes up with some numbers, we can't be specific.

Here is a compatibility table: http://www.syndrega.ch/blog/#php-and-dbms-compatibility-of-major-moodle-releases. Notice the minimum and maximum versions of the required software.

About the 500 error: Put a text.html file in the Moodle code directory, that is where the config.php file is, and make sure that yourmoodle/text.html renders the text.html file. "yourmoodle" is the URL you expect your Moodle to be.

"dreaming in STACK"? Do they look like this (can you choose the language)

 

So, you'll be in action on the coming MoodleMootDACH24? I don't see the schedule yet. I would be nice if there's focus on CodeRunner, VPL and Formulas this time.

Hi Marcus

I'm sorry, if I diverted your discussion Is anyone here using STACK for GCSE/A Level maths from the Mathematics tools forum to this Quiz forum. Though I encountered STACK a few times, I don't find applications in my courses. I had the chance of meeting the European STACK community in the last MootDACH, MootDACH23. That was impressive.

 

Still I wonder whether there is a divide, like the Haves and Have Nots, in the academic skills necessary. I hear the Formulas question type is already too difficult. Or to mention a real example, people use VPL or CodeRunner just to "collect" the student answers - they are corrected manually! I question, whether giving them complete VPLs or CodeRunner exercises will help, if the teachers can't understand them.

 

Just a rant. Not expecting solutions (in the near future)!

One consolation: The Generative AI can't cook for themselves!
