A multiple-choice quiz designed for use in a face-to-face lesson.

Each student receives each question at the same time with a time limit to answer it (default 30 seconds). In between each question the correct answer is displayed, along with the number of students giving each answer (and some statistics about the percentage class / individual correct answers). This allows each question to be discussed before moving on.

Teachers can review the answers, once the quiz is finished, to identify any areas that need to be covered again.

Recent improvements (2010) include:

  • Ability to add a picture to each question
  • More attractive question display
  • Easier question editing
  • Reduced network traffic & improved stability (particularly on wireless networks)

    Seth - this works fine on my Moodle 2.5 dev box. I've not done a clean install on Moodle 2.5, so I will try that when I get a chance. For now, could you try uninstalling from the Moodle admin interface, then visiting 'home' again to reinstall. That may sort out the issue.

    Is there any way to change the question time while the question is "live"? I think that it would be very useful to be able to extend a question if students need more time as well as close a question early if everyone is finished.

    Mike - that's not going to be very easy to do with the current system. The student's computers aren't polling the main server during the countdown - they only start polling the server again once the time limit has run out. This could be changed but it might be fiddly to do and would certainly result in a lot more network traffic (even aside from the extra work needed to give the teacher control over this). Please add it as a request on tracker, but its not something I'm likely to be looking at any time soon.

    Hi,
    I translated this plugin in french on Amos this weekend, integration was ok but 4 strings are probably wrong in code. Please look at this picture :
    This is the first screen... Thanks to correct this !

    Eric - I'm afraid I cannot reproduce the error you have shown. The text is displaying fine in my local install of realtime quiz.

    Please can you make sure you clear your Moodle site cache and your local browser cache and try again? Also, please check to see if there are any javascript errors.

    If you are still having a problem, please open an issue on tracker.moodle.org (against my realtime quiz plugin), with details of your Moodle version, browser version, etc.

    OK, I find it. It seems that the 2 strings : teacherjoinquizinstruct and teacherstartinstruct are guilty.
    If I remove the It's ok...
    I will send this in AMOS.
    thanks for your work !

    Hi,
    I was just playing around a bit more with the realtime quiz, and found a bug. When editing a quiz, it is apparently impossible to input an answer as "0". Just the symbol "0". If you put in "0.", or " 0" (with a space), or "00", then there's no problem. But if you put in just the single character zero, 0, then the answer disappears upon saving

    Stephen - I can see what would cause that.

    I've just pushed some code out to github (but not got time this sec to test it to double-check it works). Are you able to try it and see if it fixes the issue for you?

    Will the Realtime Quiz work with the latest version of Moodle i.e. 2.6?

    Regarding the bug reported by Éric Bugnet, I have the same problem under 2.4.8. Language pack is updated. In AMOS, I still see the BR / code.

    How can I fix this? It work fine in English, but nothing works in French.
