Multitrack test

Activities ::: mod_magtest
Maintained by Valery Fremaux
This activity proposes a multitrack test such as visible in magazines. Questions are defined with a predefined number of answer categories, one answer per category. If the participant chooses the answer, it gives points to the relevant category. Each category drives a scoring track and the feedback of the most rated category is given. The result of the test can be used to generate groups in the course.

    Thanks for this Valery, this installed fine for me.
    - please consider adding a code repository and any documentation available.
    - The activity needs some help hints - this shows up in the popup activity chooser.
    - It could be improved to use Question Bank's questions.

    Hello, great plugin! Thanks.
    Can this version also be used in Moodle 2.4 ?
    That would be great!
    Kees.

    > Kees
    I'm starting setting up a new moodle 2.4 for tests...
    those constant structure changes is the hell for heavy constributors !! i hope this will stabilize a bit in next years....

    > Agarup :
    - about using Question Bank : not really possible as precisely the scoring structure which is architecturaly different from the Quiz
    - about helps and hnts : absolutely agree. I will work on it. to improve this early step of dicumentation.

    Cheers and happy new year !!

    Hi Valery,
    I was translating the multitrack test plugin into spanish and I think I met a typo in one English language string:

    2.3 [erroremptyanswers,magtest]
    Some answers have no content.
    The tst may misfunction.

    "The tst may misfunction." should be "The test may malfunction." ( I think).

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello Valery,

    Thanks for your answer.
    I was wondering if your test for Moodle 2.4 are positive.
    I hope so.

    Cheers, Kees.
