Combined question type

A combined question type which allows the embedding of the response fields for various available sub questions in the question text.

So the student can enter a numeric or short text answer or choose an answer or answer(s) from using a select box, check boxes or radio boxes.

This question type was written by Jamie Pratt (http://jamiep.org/) for the Open University (http://www.open.ac.uk/).

This question type is compatible with Moodle 2.5+.

Requirements

You will need to install at least one question type that can be used as a sub question, you can use any of the latest versions of these question types as sub questions:

• pmatch
• gapselect
• oumultiresponse
• varnumeric

Making other question types combinable

You can make other question types work with this combined question type by adding the directory combinable/ to your question type. See examples of the files which are required in the combinable directory in the question types above. Or for a built in question type or where you don't want to change the code in the other question type plug ins directory you can put the required files in question/type/combined/combinable/{questiontypename}/

See question/type/combined/combinable/README.md for more information.
