    Hi @Joseph Rézeau, in standard Moodle, it is a report that users can access via the Administration block (though I imagine many might hide this block from students). At the OU, we have some propriety content tech that we added the link to the report to, which is how students access it for our particular server configuration. I would assume that a Custom Block is how others might do it if the Administration block is hidden from students.

    Note that this progress report is more about 'participation' than 'grade'. It is primarily for GDPR purposes (user record review, export and deletion - student only sees their own, tutors should see their group only, higher-level faculty staff should see the whole cohort if there more than one tutor group).

    Thanks for your answer @Chris. Actually, just found how a student can access this via the Admin block. And yes, I realize this report is only about participation, not about grade.

    I have all 3 plugins installed and the embedded works great! However, where can I view student answers? In a normal quiz, I can go to Attempts: > Review Attempt (under the student) and then look at each answer for each question. But I don't understand how to view answers for questions added to a question bank and them not being in a quiz.

    Hi @Sarah Poulin,

    If no students have taken part yet, you might need to use the example student account to create an embedded question attempt first.

    Once you know you have data, and while looking at the activity that has the embedded question, you should find the "Embedded question progress" report link in the administration block. Assuming that there's at least one full attempt, you will then need to click on "Latest attempt" (right-hand column), and then on the "Grade" hyperlink. That'll give you the attempt.

    A better way to view all students in a group/cohort and see their latest/highest attempt for a specific embedded question (with export for analysis) is something we'd /like/ to do, but I honestly don't know when we can fit it in during the near future. If anyone feels that they could contribute that, we'd be over the moon!

    @Chris Nelson,

    Ohhhhhh. I finally found it. But it's not working. I found it by going to the course main page, clicking on the gear (the Course Administration Block), going to "more," and then changing to the "Reports" tab. That's where I was failing to find it before. Changing the tab to "Reports."

    But when I click on "Embedded questions progress," I get "Can't find data record in database table context." I have the cron.php script running every minute, and I have run it manually several times too, but it doesn't resolve the problem.

    @Sarah It's always difficult trying to help from afar without screenshots مخلوط. It sounds like you've found the course-wide report, which has a filtering bug (new version with the fix due soon) but is otherwise usable. However, you should still see an attempt. So let's start with the basics: are you definitely sure you have at least one full attempt (not a Preview) with a user in the activity (e.g. a forum or sub-page) the question is embedded in? Ah, potential gotcha: is the user enrolled on the course? If not, their data won't show in the course report.

    @Sarah: we've got our Test Server updated with the latest Moodle (v3.11.5) and plug-ins, and I now see the first issue you've reported: the report link isn't showing /anywhere/ obvious in the standard theme. However, I afraid I cannot replicate the "Can't find data record in database table context".

    Hi, I am using Moodle 4.1. I have embedded the questions in a Page. Can the question results be added to the gradebook?

    @Stephanie: not at the moment, it's just the 'progress report', but Gradebook integration (and possibly a 'question completion' view like the current 'Activity completion' report) are things we'd like to do. Unfortunately more urgent jobs seem to add themselves to the top of our 'to do' list.

    Hi
    Please can you change your supported version to moodle 4.5 or 5 so that when we install moodle each week, it auto installs, this would save a lot of time. Thank you.

    Hi
    Please can you change your supported version of REPORT to moodle 4.5 so that when we install moodle each week, it auto installs, this would save a lot of time. You have done it with the main module but not this one. Thank you.

    Hi
    I hope you are well, it's been ages. Embed Question Report still shows for only moodle 3 but appears to work on Moodle 5. Could you check and 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.

    @Al Metcalfe: We're continuing to work on blockers to getting a M4.5 release for the Embedded Questions set out.
    We're also rebuilding Embedded Questions for M5.0+, so amazing if this report still works on M5.0, but I guess it's just a table so maybe not too surprising.
