Moodle plugins directory: OU multiple response

I think it's done but only in the last few days. It shouldn't be long before Tim makes it available.

Hi there, I am not sure if I should post this here but I am looking for a slightly different question type and reasoned that you would know if it exists: I have an instructor who wants multiple answers possible but to limit the allowed number of answers (to something higher than 1). This would basically mean the students would not be penalized by 1/n for each incorrect answer. Does such a thing exist?
Cheers,
Dave

A better place to ask would be in the quiz forum: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=737

Thanks Tim, I have done that...

Hello,
I would like to export OU multiple response questions to GIFT or Microsoft Word table format, to make checking their content easier. I used the export function from the Moodle administration menu, but the GIFT file does not contain the questions (only their names). I get a similar result when exporting to Word. Is this a known issue, or might I have done something wrong? Also, would it be possible to convert automatically a category of OU multiple response type questions to the standard multiple choice type?
Greetings from Bucharest,

The only export format available for this question type is Moodle XML format.

I see. Thank you, Tim!

Yes. We are at the OU. It works.

Did you install the plugin properly? In particular, have you been to the Site admininistration -> Notifactions page?

Could we have a version for 3.3 and / or 3.4 please? We are thinking upgrading but many of our plug-ins only work up to 3.1! Thanks!

The same to us

At the moment, the default method for showing the correct answers to the learner after they have completed the question, is to list all the correct answers as a single list each item separated with a comma. This is fine if the answers are short (e.g. 1 or 2 words), but if the answers are longer (and in particular if they contain commas) then the end result is very confusing. Would it be possible to improve this excellent plugin by displaying the correct answers as a simple bulleted list instead or give us the choice of display options when we create the question? Thanks

This plugin inherits that behaviour from the standard Moodle question type. So, this is really MDL-43174.

Hi, quick question. When there are more right answers than wrong answers and a student selects everything, he still gets more than 0 points. Could there be an option to automatically give 0 points when a student selects everything?

Thanks Philip! I think, this is a bug and should be fixed.

I think I take the opposite view. This question type has a simple scoring system: +1/n for each right choice selected, -1/n for each wrong choice. If you want the score for selecting everything to be 0, then make sure you have at least as many distractors as right choices.

(I am now imaging a question with choices like "This is a wrong option. Don't select it. Are you event paying attention?" Is that as pedagogically invalid as it at first seems?)
