All-or-Nothing Multiple Choice

Question types ::: qtype_multichoiceset
Maintained by Jean-Michel Védrine, Eoin Campbell
The all-or-nothing multiple choice question is a version of the core multi-answer multiple choice question with modified grading. In an all-or-nothing multiple choice question, a respondent can choose one or more answers. If the chosen answers correspond exactly to the correct choices defined in the question, the respondent gets 100%. If he/she chooses any incorrect choices or does not select all of the correct choices, the grade is 0%.

This is a multiple-choice, multiple-response question type that was created by Adriane Boyd and later maintained by Jean-Michel Vedrine. It is now maintained by Eoin Campbell.

Description

The all or nothing question is adapted from the existing multichoice question. The main difference from the standard Moodle multiple choice question type is in the way that grading works. The teacher editing interface is slightly modified as when creating the question, the teacher just indicates which choices are correct.

Grading

In an all-or-nothing multiple choice question, a respondent can choose one or more answers. If the chosen answers correspond exactly to the correct choices defined in the question, the respondent gets 100%. If he/she chooses any incorrect choices or does not select all of the correct choices, the grade is 0%. Before using this question type, teachers must really think if this grading is what they want.

    Hi Jean-Michel,

    Do you have any update on the "seeking maintainer" status? Your plugin is still on the list, but your post on Jan 23rd suggests otherwise - are you still maintaining it for the moment, but looking for someone to take it on if possible? Or is the listing a mistake?

    Thanks,

    Erica

    Hi Jean-Michel,

    Am I correct in stating that this plugin creates a new question type in Moodle? Or does it change the behaviour of the exisiting multiple choice question type?

    I just checked with Jean-Michel, and he said he's retired and is no longer maintaining this plugin. Hopefully someone will take it over. I don't have the skill set, at the moment.

    Kristian, you're correct. It's a new question type.

    I just installed this on a local installation I have of Moodle 3.1 and it appeared to work fine, including exporting/importing using Moodle XML format (GIFT still doesn't work, as mentioned previously). For some reason, the first time I tried to install, I got an error message (https://docs.moodle.org/31/en/error/debug/codingerror), but all I did was try again and it worked.

    Is it safe to install this version of this plugin in a Moodle 3.1 ?

    Hi, I am looking for a piece of help: I have been using this question at Moodle 2.8 and it works perfectly, but we did a database migration and now we are not able to see or use the previous questions. We can add new questions, but the older are broken.

    This is the message that appears when I try to preview or set any All-or-nothing question:

    "Can not find data record in the qtype_multichoiceset_options table of the database."

    I don't know if it is a problem caused by any mistake during the migration or not. I would like to know if you can help me with this.

    Regards
    Pablo

    Hello Pablo,
    Surely there was a problem when the multichoiceset plugin was upgraded. I must admit I don't understand what happnd
    As you said that new questions are working but older ones are broken, can you verify if you both have "qtype_multichoiceset_options" and "question_multichoiceset" tables in your database ?
    If this is the case and if you have added new all or nothing questions since the upgrade, I may be wrong but I think it will be rather hard to correct the problem.
    If you have not added new questions since the upgrade, maybe I can help you to recover your old questions, but you need to be familiar with operations on database tables and fields and work on a copy of your database to avoid loosing valuable data.
    If you find that your database don't contain both "qtype_multichoiceset_options" and "question_multichoiceset" tables then my guess was wrong, and I need more informations to try to help you.
    Just a final note : I am now retired and no more working on Moodle so I am doing my best to help but there are a lot of things I am no more able to do as I don't have a Moodle install. Sorry.

    Hi, has anyone heard about someone taking over the maintenance of this question type? Starting to get a bit nervous, since that's a very appreciated question type with our teachers, it's extensively used and we unfortunately lack the developing/programming competences regarding PHP.

    This question actually works in Moodle 3.3.1 smile . The documentation at https://docs.moodle.org/33/en/All_or_nothing_multiple_choice_question_type has been improved with text and images.

    Hello, I have made some tests and it seems to work with no problem with Moodle versions up to 3.4 and 3.5 dev. Il have also corrected the link to the updated documentation (Thanks a lot to German Valero for working on this)
