A four option multiple true-false question type for moodle, as introduced by Krebs (1997). Kprime questions consist of an item stem and four corresponding statements or options. For each option students have to decide whether it is "true" or "false". Three different scoring methods are available: “Kprime”, where the student receives one point if all responses are correct, half a point if all save one response are correct, and zero points otherwise; “Kprime 1/0”, where the student receives one point if all responses are correct, and zero points otherwise; and “subpoints”, where the student is awarded subpoints for each correct response.

    I don't use the zip method.

    $git clone https://github.com/ethz-let/moodle-qtype_kprime/tree/Final-Release-3.X kprime
    fatal: repository 'https://github.com/ethz-let/moodle-qtype_kprime/tree/Final-Release-3.X/' not found

    Yes, I need Kprime for Moodle rel. 3.9. The (wrong) version name '4 for Moodle 3.9+ (Transitional)' is confusing!

    It looks like '4 for Moodle 3.9+ (Transitional)' is in reality for Moodle 3.11. It breaks for 3.9. Not yet ready for 4.0.

    And it doesn't do version checking. It installed on a Moodle 3.9 without errors. In fact after that "fix" seems to be working. I can't downgrade to 3.9 from the zip. I says a future version is already installed.
    triste

    Apologies for the misunderstanding. You can raise the version.php of 3.9 from zip to todays date and upon upgrading to moodle 4.0 the version in our repo will defo be for july.

    If your fix works for you and you are happy with it, stick to it until you upgrade moodle

    The transitional version is work in progress, and as we have to update al of our plugins, it takes time with the limited resources we have nowadays.

    OK, thanks! I will leave it as it is. In case more errors appear I can always downgrade to 3.9 zip (with the date adjusted). We do not plan to upgrade our prod. Moodle to 4.0, we will only test it to get to know the changes, the next prod. version will be 4.1 (LTS).

    Update: The patch https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=434791#p1749572 isn't the only one to make the Git version '4 for Moodle 3.9+ (Transitional)' to work in a 3.9. It made creating a question instance possible, but not editing an existing one. I swapped to 3.9 zip version and changed the version as you mentioned. Now both creation and editing work.

    I wanted to ask if Kprime(ETH) is fully compatible with Moodle 4.1 (LTS)?
    And thanks for your work!

    Hi Criag, maybe change the language strings in your moodle language

    Hi! Will there be a new version available for Moodle 4.4.7 / 5.X which fixes MDL-83541 ?

    Hi @Samuel - you can get the latest code from our github https://github.com/ethz-let/moodle-qtype_kprime/tree/MOODLE_405_STABLE

    The code will be updated on moodle once it passes the QC.

    Hi
    I hope you are well, it's been ages. Kprime appears to work on Moodle 5. Could you update the supported extension on your end to Moodle 5 so that it installs automatically each week when we update our Moodle instance? It saves us so much time. Cheers.

    Hi @Al
    We already support Moodle 5.0 on our github repository as you know. We will release this new version here soon. Cheers
