Opaque (http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Opaque) is the Open protocol for

accessing question engines. It can be used to add questions to a Moodle quiz from third party assessment systems that support the protocol, like OpenMark or ounit (http://code.google.com/p/ounit/) and possibly other question systems we don't know about.

As well as this question type, you aslo need the associated question behaviour https://moodle.org/plugins/qbehaviour_opaque.

Sets

This plugin is part of set Open University.

Ravi, see http://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Opaque_question_type. Whatever question engine you are using should tell you what settings to put in those fields.

Tim Larcombe, this is not a good place to report bugs, as you can probably tell. In the tracker is better: http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB/component/10215

It sounds like you are trying to install STACK version 2.0. There is now a STACK version 3.0, which is better integrated with Moodle, and easier to install. See https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=197507 and https://github.com/maths/moodle-qtype_stack. I recommend you install that instead.

Hi, Tim. I appreciate your time to help me. Stack ver. 3.0 inside Moodle was installed successfully. I started to add a Stack question. Cheers
