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.

- proper integration of QBank functionality for JQ, incl a) display of all columns, b) search by tags across the entire Q.Bank, c) most important to be able to select and add questions from the QBank.
- Ability to delete old sessions created by the user,
- Even if gradebook integration is not possible, the ability to display correct score per student or correct option scored per question could bridge some distance.
Hope santa is bring in some goodies sooner than christmas.
My plan now is to run a field test on Monday with Moodle 4 and then make a new release which answers the original use case, namely improvised questions and discussion. I am committed to support that one original use case, but I simply do not have the resources to support other uses.
Some of your issues have probably been resolved. At least adding questions from the QBank should not be an issue. I hope, over the next two months, can solve some of the issues you have, but it is not realistic to solve them all. Sorry.
It would be useful if you could move the discussion to github, making one issue per problem, with some additional detail. E.g. for grading, what do you expect to see where in the UI? Display of all columns, which columns do you expect?
Kind regards.
If you find bugs or other problems, they are best discussed on github, although I try to pay attention here too.
