Offline Quiz

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

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 use Moodle 3.5 and the latest version of Offline Quiz. When i reset a course, there's a sentence indicating that reseting function isn't implemented. It would be very usefull. Do you plan to add it? Soon?
    This page could help : https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Implementing_Reset_course_functionality_in_a_module
    Thanks in advance

    Hi, thank @Thomas Wedekind for this very interesting plugin.
    @Stéphane Poinsart
    3) we noticed large differences in the recognition of markers according to the MFPs used to scan

    Otherwise, we have a problem whith not well read user ids : when we fix them, some user have no grade on result but "partial". What that mean ?

    Thanks

    We just published version 3.5.2 of the Offline Quiz for Moodle 3..5 fixing a bug where the update of scanned pages leads to wrong results with "missing pages", even though there is only one page in the test.

    I am able to almost everything except scanning the answer sheets. I have the following status "3 answer form(s) is/are pending evaluation." One hour plus and still not results. Any suggestions?

    Hello, I have installed moodle with last version of Offline Quiz. Everything looks good, I created quiz, printed, filled, scanned and uploaded it. But I see only table with these items:

    2 | ? | ? | 29. prosinec 2018, 21.58 | Image type not supported | sken01.pdf has image type | Correct

    If I click to Correct only error page is displayed with "error/Could not load file"

    I tried to run cron job manualy via SSH. There is the log
    Execute scheduled task: Answer sheet evaluation for the offlinequiz-plugin (mod_ offlinequiz\task\page_evaluation_task)
    ... started 21:58:37. Current memory use 33.7MB.

    ... used 11.087849855423 seconds
    Scheduled task complete: Answer sheet evaluation for the offlinequiz-plugin (mod _offlinequiz\task\page_evaluation_task)

    Note: I have installed my moodle on Synology NAS (Apache 2.4, PHP7.0 and MariaDB 10)

    Is there any issue with permission or format of file? I tried scan to PDF, JPG, PDF with OCR. I tried upload single file and batch in zip, but I have still the same result.

    Could you help me?

    Thank you

    We just published a bug fix version 3.5.4 of the Offline Quiz for Moodle 3.5 (with huge zip files the evaluation didn't work under certain race-conditions).

    Hi AMC,

    The "formula for participant identification" is limited to 9 digits. Is it possible to expand this limit to 11?

    Im having the same problem as Stanly , several "answer form(s) is/are pending evaluation." and nothing... any solution? Run numerous times the cron and still nothing...

    @Ricardo, sadly this is not possible. I mean you can change it by changing line 202 in the settingslib.php. Be aware though: the won't be enough space on the sheet and offlinequiz might not evaluate the answer sheets right if you do so. that's why 9 is the maximum at the moment.

    @Joao Have you set up the cron successfully? If not please follow the instructions at https://docs.moodle.org/36/en/Cron If that still doesn't help feel free to create an issue in our official github repository at https://github.com/academic-moodle-cooperation/moodle-mod_offlinequiz
