This shouldn't be a problem, but I haven't looked at the code for some time or for the latest Moodle versions. So let me know what Moodle version you are using, and what kind of questions you want to use, and what doesn't seem to work. Have you looked at https://tmedwin.net/cbm and https://docs.moodle.org/403/en/Using_certainty-based_marking ? You can contact me directly at a.gardner-medwin@ucl.ac.uk .

This plugin looks amazing! This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find a way to add confidence assessments for each question in a quiz. There doesn't seem to be any documentation on that! Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Joseph! I'm interested in hearing how CBM can best work with school learning, which I don't have experience of. I'm glad it seems to be going well for you.

Inserting the code mods should be simply a matter of copying all the new files in one operation onto the server, overwriting the standard ones. Backups of the original files are provided in case you want to go back. [I haven't ever used Linux!] But I would be really glad if someone could help get these mods into core Moodle code. I'm not familiar with the protocols, or the (new?) Moodle quiz modes you talk about, since I don't use Moodle myself.

Just wanted to share feedback that Tony's brilliant CBM work, and specifically the CBM "plus" works brilliantly--tried it out for the first time with my students reviewing for the AP Exams in May and it brings up some really good discussions during class and small group conversations!

I am running it on 3.8--it's a little tricky to install since you have to change the Moodle core files and need some good admin / Linux skills, which I am no expert but with persistence I finally got it working!

If there is anyway to make the "plus" code a plugin, or even better make it a part of the Moodle core since CBM is already included in the core, then I think CBM will really take off and more teachers will be willing to try it with their students.

The feedback and CBM report students get is extremely helpful, and the "plus" code that scales the score based on accuracy and CB bonus is genius!

Was wondering if the CBM code could also be applied to the adaptive and interactive with multiple tries modes--that would be an extremely powerful 1-2 punch of formative assessment & reflection with real-time instructor delivered hints for the "teachable moment" when students make mistakes as part of the natural learning process!

I'm seeing students making much better observations and reflections on what they understand--thank you again Tony for sharing your brilliant work with the world!

I can confirm that both the plugin and the "plus" patched code work well on 3.7.

Though I certainly see the value in a 0%-300% scoring scale, the accuracy+bonus (0-100%) model is going to be an easier transition for many where I work. If there's ever anything I can do to help get the core patched to support both options at the user level, please let me know what I can do to help!

(1) The latest standard plugin, essential for staff viewing of CBM grades, should work without changes for 3.7, and this should now be clear on the plugin site.
(2) The preferred (but more complex, non-linear) grading scheme (0-100%) unfortunately does still require patches to the core code. There have been no reported problems with these patches, but I would need help to get them incorporated into core. Anyone interested? An alternative for student selftests is to use my (non-Moodle) site for CBM selftests: https://tmedwin.net/cbm .

Reading your site, I've come to greatly appreciate certainty based marking, and I am eager to deploy it and evangelize it in my teaching. My institution, however, is not willing to incorporate manual patches to the moodle core source code. Is there any way to get 0%-100% marking (accuracy + bonus) without patching?

Also, any idea if the code distributed at TMedwin.net compatible with 3.7, or will adjustments be needed?

Thank you for everything you have put into this. You've made moodle a better and more dynamic tool!

Riaan - This plugin is to enhance the Quiz Reports visible to staff, not the Summary Grade reports for a whole course. Say if this doesn't solve your problem. Tony G-M

Hi Tony,

I was asked to install this plugin on a moodle v3.5 site, and did so. I'm not a moodle expert in any way, but believe I should find the report under the Grades section when selecting a course. Is this assumption correct? If so, then I'm lost, because the report is nowhere to be found on the site.

Is it possible for you to explain where I could find the report?

Kind regards,
Riaan

It looks to me as if you used one of the downloads from http://www.tmedwin.net/cbm/moodle/download/ intended for 3.1 rather than for 3.04. Get the right one and replace cbmversion.txt and mod/quiz/review.php . The CBMgrades plugin is not I think the problem.

I've installed this plugin on a 3.0.4+ instance of moodle and I'm getting the following errors on the feedback page at the end of the quiz:

"Exception - Call to undefined method quiz_attempt::fire_attempt_reviewed_event()
Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: Invalid state passed to moodle_page::set_state. We are in state 3 and state 3 was requested. "

I followed the instructions for setting up the calculation of CBM; http://tmedwin.net/cbm/moodle/download/

Other than overwrifgting the modified php files and uninstalling the plug-in how do I fix this?

,Thanks

I've added the 'plus' files for 2.88 and 2.9.1-2 at http://tmedwin.net/cbm/moodle/download/ (calculating Moodle grades based on CBM Accuracy). Tony

Hi Tony,

I used to use the "plus" version of your plugin, but since I upgraded to Moodle 2.9 I cannot find a version that is compatible. Is this in development?

Many thanks, greatly appreciated.

Turns out there is a serious problem here. 'Download' gives you the correct plugin version, but 'Install now' always gives the version for Moodle 2.5.
