StudentQuiz
Dragon DionysiusStudents like quizzes to prepare for exams. However, it’s hard to create all the questions needed for assessments and exams. That’s where the Moodle plugin StudentQuiz comes in. StudentQuiz enables students to collaboratively create their own question pools within Moodle. This allows a better learning experience because knowledge is actively constructed by the learner, not just passively received from the environment. And even if an individual student contributes a few questions only, a larger cohort can easily build up an extensive question pool.
In StudentQuiz, learners can create individualised quizzes. They also add their feedback to each questions by rating and commenting while working through the quizzes. Students can see their personal learning progress, and they can compare their contribution and competence with their peer group. Furthermore, the created questions become part of the Moodle question bank and can be reused in standard Moodle quizzes.
The teacher can approve/disapprove questions, or hide or delete questions. The teacher can also configure:
- whether students’ names are displayed or kept anonymous.
- whether questions are published right away or have to be approved first.
- the number of points assigned to questions contributed and answers given.
- what user roles to exclude from participation.
- what questions types are allowed to be added to the pool.
- whether students are enforced to rate questions.
- whether students are enforced to comment questions.
The video StudentQuiz in a minute provides a quick introduction. There's also the 16 mins video Tutorial for Teachers.
StudentQuiz is available in many languages. Please feel free to add your language to the AMOS translator.

Is the StudentQuiz plugin usable with Moodle 3.8.1 ($release = '3.8.1 (Build: 20200113)'; // Human-friendly version name)? After update my moodle core, it doesn't appear in the additional plugin list.
However, I get that this is not possible in student quiz, probably because the question needs to have a different format for the student quiz.
Thank you for testing StudentQuiz. I just tested under Moodle 3.8.1 (Build: 20200113) and StudentQuiz installs and runs fine.

Thank you for your prompt reply! It works after reinstalled from this directory, not from Github.
I know Moodle administrators can tune Student quiz default settings, but this does not prevent teachers to modify these parameters.
And of course your reports enable a professor to know all student activity in detail to make a participation note, but this supposes to have a specific treatement for student quiz activity.
Activity completion is specifically implemented for that purpose in Moodle.
Our professors have already a lot of activities in their courses and all of them implement activity completion.
The activity completion report gives all details on student participation.
This would be a great functionnality for your plugin ...

We have a strange problem with permissions, though. It differs between our QA site and our production site, but I haven't been able to find any differences in the roles or plugin permissions settings:
In our Moodle QA, everything works as expected.
1. In PROD, when a Student enters the newly setup instance of a StudentQuiz in a course he gets the message "Sorry, but you do not currently have permissions to do that (access question edit tab questions)."
2. I have tested the different permissions the instance of the StudentQuiz in the course, and when I add the Student role to the permission "moodle/question:editall" it works and the Student can add questions. (This permission is not added for the Student role in QA).
3. If I then the permission is removed, it still keeps working (!). It is like a hidden switch has been flipped and stays so even when the visible permission is removed.
4. When adding another instance of StudentQuiz in the same course, the changing of the permission must be repeated for each instance for the Student to add questions.
4. This behaviour is fully consistent and repeatable in our production site.
Any tips on what might be the problem causing this?
We are using Moodle v3.6.6 and StudentQuiz v4.0.4
There's happened an improvement regarding permissions in https://github.com/frankkoch/moodle-mod_studentquiz/pull/189 which is included in the today's release of StudentQuiz v4.1.0. Try that out, and if this doesn't solve it, if possible, please head over to https://github.com/frankkoch/moodle-mod_studentquiz/issues to raise an issue.

StudentQuiz measures the difficulty with every answer given. The higher the ration of wrong answers in relation to the total number of answers, the more difficult the question is.
