FastTest PlugIn Utilities FastTest PlugIn helps create the most used Moodle question types. All the fields to be filled in are shown on a single screen (for each type of question).

To upload the question bank in Moodle, you only have to import the XML file to the platform. All the videos are in Spanish, but most of them have subtitles. You can turn on automatic translation.

My mindmap overview Blocks The mymindmap_overview block presents the courses in the dashboard. Block mymindmap_overview has the advantage of seeing all its courses containing at least one module on a single screen zone and being able to navigate to the section, the activity or the chosen resource to access it. IMPORTANT! For a better view of the mindmap of your courses, put this block in the content column This view also shows how many modules constitute a course or section, which allows you to only go to courses offering content. This plugin uses jsmind javascript tool to design the schemas. You can find it here: https://github.com/hizzgdev/jsmind There are some slowdowns due to searching the logs table for each student and each course needed to show the red flag. To avoid this, you can replace the "block_mymindmap_overview" file with the "block_mymindmap_overview-without-flags" file by removing the "-without-flags" extension. In the last version, all calls to the "logs" table to control access to new activities are avoided in order to speed up the display of the mindmap Dey Bendifallah 29

CAPQuiz Activities CAP is short for Computer Adaptive Practice. In CAPQuiz, the proficiency is measured by a rating. Good answers increase the rating, and bad answers decrease it. To increase the rating, students need to give good answers more of than bad ones over time. Estimating question difficulty is known to be difficult. CAPQuiz automates this process to some extent. The question author must provide an initial estimate, but CAPQuiz improves the estimates based by comparing how the same student answers different questions. Hence the rated question sets will improve over time. George Schaathun 28

Metadata General plugins (Local) The “local metadata” plugin has been created to allow extra, “metadata” to be defined and assigned to various context level elements in Moodle. It is an abstraction of the current “user profile field” functionality in Moodle and contains much of the same code. This was written for the MUA as a proof of concept for a project to add extra profile data to courses, to see whether one metadata function could be used for multiple Moodle contexts. It is currently in Beta, and is open for participation and discussion. Mike Churchward 28

MTF (ETH) Question types Multi True false in one stem (question). Brief: The MC question type as it exists in Moodle is not very ideal, since you can only configure questions which are not very well designed regarding best practices of MC questions. Teachers can have more than one true/false question in same stem. this saves creating new questions for each stem. especially when it comes to an essay followed by many questions. ETH Zürich 27
