Usage

Teachers want to conduct the final examination of a course with several hundred students in a lecture hall. For this purpose, an offline quiz is created in a Moodle course and the quiz is filled with questions from the question bank. To make copying more difficult, the lecturers decide to create several groups in the offline quiz that contain different questions. The forms are then generated, downloaded and printed out.

Two forms are handed out to students during the exam: the questionnaire (contains the questions and answer options) and the corresponding answer sheet (form with boxes to tick the selected answers). After the exam, all answer sheets are scanned and uploaded in the offline quiz of the Moodle course for evaluation.
Forms that could not be automatically evaluated by the system, e.g. because the ID number was incorrectly ticked or ticks or crossed out ticks are unclear, must be corrected by the teachers in the offline quiz.
Teachers can now allow students to view their exams online, where they can, for example, see the points they have achieved and check that their ticks have been recognized.

Note: The question types multiple choice, description and all-or-nothing multiple choice are currently supported. Questionnaires can be downloaded in PDF, DOCX or LaTeX format.

Documentation

You can find a documentation for the plugin on the AMC website.

Bug Reports / Support

We try our best to deliver bug-free plugins, but we can not test the plugin for every platform, database, PHP and Moodle version. If you find any bug please report it on GitHub. Please provide a detailed bug description, including the plugin and Moodle version and, if applicable, a screenshot.

You may also file a request for enhancement on GitHub. If we consider the request generally useful and if it can be implemented with reasonable effort we might implement it in a future version.

You may also post general questions on the plugin on GitHub, but note that we do not have the resources to provide detailed support.

I am experiencing difficulty in adding marks to the Description type question. Is there a method to include marks for this type of question?
Alternatively, is there a way to incorporate short answers or essay-type questions into the Paper?
I require a comprehensive paper that includes all types of questions.

Hello, just wondering, if you are thinking of adding Short Answer and/or Essay questions too, please?

There is interest in this features here as well, but due to lack of personal resources there is no concrete plan for an implementation and there won't be one any time soon.

Brilliant plugin, much admired and used by faculty in our university.

Any idea when version 4.2 will be available?

Thanks in advance.

I have a problem when adding questions. I get the error message that there is a coding problem due to programming error. The message also tells that the problem has nothing to do with user inputs. I need this plugin urgently. I already used it with my students when i had moodle 4.0. But when I updated to moodle 4.3 I had the problem I just mentioned. To answer the question why I updated to moodle 4.3, I had a problem with the multiple choice calculated questions and I had to update to solve it.
