version = planned 2015051100 release version
requires= current 2015050500 rc1 version
Note: On purpose, the course format social wrong version (2015102100)
has been kept unmodified. Looking forward a solution right now.
Removed requiremodintro setting from all core activity plugins and replace
with a single global setting.
Deprecated moodleform_mod::add_intro_editor and replaced with
moodleform_mod::standard_intro_elements
The sections are created on the edit quiz page, and then appear in the
navigation panel when the quiz is being attempted to help students find
their way around.
The 'Shuffle questions' setting has been moved from being per-quiz
to being a per-section.
This commit is actually the joint work of Mahmoud Kassaei and Tim Hunt
from The Open University. We could only use one persons name for the
commit and this time Mahmoud gets the credit/blame.
This feature is designed for use on pracice or formative quizzes.
It is available for quizzes that use Interactive or Immediate feedback
behaviour.
If the teacher turns this on in the quiz settings, then once a student
has finished a question, they get a 'Redo question' button beside the
question. If they click it, then the question they finished is replaced
by a new one so they can try again to practise that particul skill or
bit of knowledge a bit more.
When randomisation is involved, the studnets will be given a question or
variant that they have not seen before if possible.
There are several improvements over what we had before:
1. We track all the questions seen in the the student's previous
quiz attempts, so that when they start a new quiz attempt, they get
questions they have not seen before if possible.
2. When there are no more unseen questions, we start repeating, but
always taking from the questions with the fewest attempts so far.
3. A similar logic is applied with variants within one question.
There is lots of credit to go around here. Oleg Sychev's students Alex
Shkarupa, Sergei Bastrykin and Darya Beda all worked on this over
several years, helping to clarify the problem and shape the best
solution. In the end, their various attempts were rewritten into this
final patch by me.
Further improvements to this code, including resolving edge cases:
* The new feature can only be used when it is possible for the
previous question in the quiz to be complete.
* Also, this new feature cannot be used in combination with shuffle
questions, because that make no sense; nor in combination with
sequential navigation, because to make that work properly would be a lot
of effort. If someone needs that to work later, it should be possible
for them to implement it.
* There were changes in the edit renderer API, to try to make things
more consistent, and to make it less likely we will need to change
things again in the future. See mod/quiz/upgrade.txt.
* As part of this change, the styling of the Edit quiz page was tweaked
to make slighly more efficient use of the horizontal space, and to be
more symmetrical.
