Kim,

This has been a well reported problem. If you search for 'adodb.inc.php' you will find the answer. For example, try this link:

Ann,

In the Questionnaire directory you should find a text file called 'README.txt'. This has some useful information about getting started with the module. In particular, there is this:

You can still access phpESP directly, if you so desire.
To access your phpESP management functions, go to:
http://[yoursite]/[yourroot]/mod/questionnaire/phpESP/admin/

At the top of this admin page you will find a link that says: 'Create a new Survey', click on that, and then you'll see a link to some help pages. Alternatively, just type in the following url for the help pages:
http://[yoursite]/[yourroot]/mod/questionnaire/phpESP/admin/manage.php?where=help

André,

What you, and many other moodlers want, is 'Conditional activities'. In other words, the ability to access and do a certain task is dependent or conditional upon the completion of another task.

If you look at the 'Future development' page, you'll see that this will be a feature of version 2. Obviously, this does not help you at the moment, but at least you now know that this much needed feature is being worked on .

Hello Joseph,

I have sort of answered your question in the thread you mention above...

Hello Joseph,

I just read your posting in another thread, which linked to this thread.

Yes, I agree, the buttons are confusing. One of the biggest problems I have with them is that when showing other teachers what a wonderful thing Moodle is, they begin to have doubts when they see the the multitude of 'submit' buttons. Their worry is that if they can't understand it, how will they be able to explain it to their own students.

The 'adaptive mode' is a wonderful idea, but it seems that the description of the adaptive mode is a little in advance of what the adaptive mode can currently do in moodle.

Like you, I prefer to use the quizzes for teaching purposes, so I make use of the 'adaptive mode' (i.e. the ability of students to get feedback for single items by clicking on the 'submit' button) by typing in 3 or 4 choices in the feedback section of shortanswer type questions. This is modelled on the 'Hybrid' type question in Hot Potato Jcloze quizzes.

Here's what such a question looks like in the GIFT format:

//a shortanswer-adaptive type question 
::a short answer - adaptive::
What is the capital of Japan?<br /><br />
(If you don't know the answer, type a '?', for a hint)<br />
{=%100%Tokyo#Yes, that's right!=%0%*#It's one of these:<br> London<br> Tokyo<br> New York<br> Paris}

Hopefully, in the near future, the moodle adaptive mode will become truly adaptive .
