JazzQuiz
George Schaathun, What is it?
JazzQuiz is designed to be used in face-to-face lessons. The teacher may plan questions in advance, but can also easily improvise on the fly.
Write your question on the blackboard, and select an appropriate question type from the dropdown menu. Several improvise questions will already be included: Short answer, multichoice (3, 4 & 5) and true/false. These are put in the default question category for the activity. If you want to add your own improvise questions, simply add them in that category and prefix their names with {IMPROV} like the default ones.
During the lesson, the teacher starts the quiz. Students can now connect to this quiz.
Once the teacher is satisfied that all students have connected to the quiz, they can click on Start Quiz
Depending on the question settings the question will end automatically, or will need to be ended via the instructor's
End question button. The teacher can start a vote, with the selected responses, which students can answer.
The teacher can, at a later date, go back through the results and, for each question, see exactly what answer each
student gave. The repolls are treated as separate questions, and you will get a correct order in the review page.

The original plugin, Realtime Quiz, was written by Davo Smith: <moodle@davosmith.co.uk>
Afterwards came ActiveQuiz, funded by an educational innovation grant given to the Medical school, the University of Wisconsin - Madison.
The plugin was rewritten to integrate the core Moodle question engine. John Hoopes: <john.z.hoopes@gmail.com>
JazzQuiz is a fork of ActiveQuiz, intended for different use cases. Initial development 2017-2018 was funded in part by Norgesuniversitetet (grant no. P34/2017) and undertaken by NTNU - Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

Kind regards.
If you find bugs or other problems, they are best discussed on github, although I try to pay attention here too.

Now that it works, I have a big question... how do I import the questions from the question bank?
I can't do it. I select them, click the add button, but when I return to the EDIT tab, the "Questions" box is empty, it does not load
I am using the version for Moodle 4.3.
I am trying to create a multiple tries quiz. I have edited each question with 2 hints and tested the quiz as a student and it doesn't work. When I log in as a student, after answering a question, I get a message saying that I should wait for the Tutor to start the next question, but I should have two more tries.
Also, once the quiz is finished, is it possible to see in the reports the percentage of wrong answers for each question?
Thank you!
Your use case is very different from ours. JazzQuiz was developed as a vehicle for direct, spontaneous conversation between a lecturer and large classes in real time. When I give the students multiple tries, we first review all the answer from the class together, and maybe I ask the students to discuss in small groups between attempts, following an idea from Eric Mazur («Farewell Lecture!» in *Science* 2009). Because answers are supposed to be discussed in class, we have not even considered how automated grading could work in the process; we simply assume that it is not used.
For your use case, where the students work individually over multiple attempts, you need to use a quiz tool which is intended for such use. I appreciate that there may be many situations where your approach is preferred, but I am afraid that it is too different from others to support both in one tool.
