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.

    We just published version 3.3.2 of the Offline Quiz plugin for Moodle 3.3 (additional index for tables page_corners and scanned_page).

    @Richard Samson, sadly that's not possible, because we identify non crossed ID-Number columns as error. It would be probably a bit confusing for the students what to cross out in their test, if they have 6-digit number. Maybe you can provide another non-changing number in a different column?

    @Rajesh Thingmax, I don't know why your cron is ignored from the moodle core. If it's in there it should work. Have you tried running the cronjob seperately? A detailed description is in the section "Cron Job" in the README.md which is shipped with the plugin.

    Text is broken when converting to PDF. Korean does not display correctly in PDF. All letters appear in a box. It's probably a problem with the character set. Moodle version is 3.4

    Hello Lee JH NY,
    I'm happy to see that you are using our plugin on moodle 3.4. We are still testing it and hope to release it soon.
    I can confirm your problem, even on older moodle versions. Would you mind creating an issue on github? https://github.com/academic-moodle-cooperation/moodle-mod_offlinequiz

    For the short term you can avoid the problem by changing the output format to docx in the offlinequiz-preferences and export it to pdf from there. Almost all word processor programs support that feature.

    We are using "FreeSans", which has a lot of different character blocks, but not the one you need (probably the Hangul-Block https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangul_Syllables ?)

    Greetings
    Thomas

    Thank you for answer.
    I solved this problem.
    It was my mistake. I'm a linux starter.
    I did not know that the tcpdf folder is in the moodle subfolder.
    I uploaded Hangul fonts only in the libreoffice and system folders.
    I uploaded the font to the tcpdf font folder under moodle and it worked.
    Thank you again for your interest.

    Install plugins from the Moodle plugins directory
    There is a request to install plugin Offline Quiz (mod_offlinequiz) version 2017081102 from the Moodle Plugins directory on this site. However, the plugin installation pre-check failed (reason code: remoteunavailable).

    seems like you don't have a connection to the internet from your local moodle instance. You can also download the plugin and extract it to the mod folder.

    Hi, the evaluation is done by a cronjob, which you have to setup for your moodle instance. The details are described in the Readme.md, which are shipped with the plugin, or you can read them here: https://github.com/academic-moodle-cooperation/moodle-mod_offlinequiz/blob/master/README.md
