I have tested the activity. IT works really great. I think it would be a very useful activity for engaing students in online activities. However, It seems to pull the questions from the whole question bank. It would be more effecient for instructors to use if question categories can be assigned in this activity. Adding a grade element would also more motivating to students as they would see their game acheivement being reflected on their course progress.
Good suggestion about the grade item. Not sure how I could predict a maximum grade considering the game just keeps going. But it's definitely something that could be good to add!
- Sometimes killing the correct answer leaves some incorrect ones off screen - making the next question very confusing.
- multi-answer questions are included but only the first correct answer is used. You should have to kill all the correct answers.
- Some resolutions / browser combos don't seem to work I will report further on this later.
I have seen the bug in point #1 before, any idea what causes it? I haven't been able to work out exactly what to do to reproduce it yet.
With point #2, how would you expect multi answer questions to behave? To me it made sense to have to destroy all the correct answers, but perhaps it's better to make it so you can destroy any answer worth 100% to win.
And thanks in advance for the report on browser compatibility issues etc, I will need to start looking into more browser combinations
Just wondering if you had a chance to look at the error message i showed/emailed to you at the moot in Clayton. I have a few people keen to use this but still doesnt work on our site.
Cheers, Chris
Really, it's a problem with the quiz API that it fails completely when you have a non-existent question type, but I'll need to look into that some more
Thanks for this great plugin. When I start the game it automatically goes to full screen, is it possible to switch that off? I also want to change the width settings to 100% if I go back from full screen to normal screen but I can't find the file where I have to change that.
I've fixed the fullscreen problems and uploaded a new version of Quizventure. Let me know if it works for you
Thanks for your fast respond. It works now good for me in full screen mode and in normal mode. But I have a other issue, sorry. When the game ends you have a option "Press space or click to restart". That doesn't work, only with a refresh of the screen I can continue.
Thanks for a great plugin! It has been working fine for months but recently it stopped working.. I get this message: Can not find data record in database table qtype_multichoice_options..
