<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Importing new questions</B></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>This function allows you to import questions from
|
|
external text files, uploaded through a form.
|
|
|
|
<P>A number of file formats are supported:
|
|
|
|
<P><B>Missing Word</B></P>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<P>This format only supports multiple choice questions.
|
|
Each answer is separated with a tilde (~), and the correct answer is
|
|
prefixed with an equals sign (=). Here is an example:
|
|
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>As soon as we begin to explore our body parts as infants
|
|
we become students of {=anatomy and physiology ~reflexology
|
|
~science ~experiment}, and in a sense we remain students for life.

|

|
|
<P><B>AON</B></P>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<P>This is the same as Missing Word Format, except that after importing
|
|
the questions all Short-Answer questions are converted four at a time
|
|
into Matching Questions.</P>
|
|
<p>Additionally, the answers of multiple-choice questions are randomly
|
|
shuffled during the import.
|
|
<p>It's named after an organisation that sponsored the development of many
|
|
quiz features</p>

<P>This module can import questions saved in Blackboard's export
|
|
format. It relies on XML functions being compiled into your PHP.</P>

|

<UL>
|
|
<P>This module can import questions saved in a Course Test Manager test bank.
|
|
It relies on different ways of accessing the test bank, which is in a Microsoft Access
|
|
database, depending on whether Moodle is running on a Windows or Linux web server.</P>
|
|
<p>On Windows it lets you upload the access database just like any other data import file.</p>
|
|
<p>On Linux, you must set up a windows machine on the same network with the Course Test
|
|
Manager database and a piece of software called the ODBC Socket Server, which uses XML
|
|
to transfer data to moodle on the Linux server.</p> <p>Please read the full help file below before
|
|
using this import class.</p>

|
|
<P>If you have your own format that you need to import, you can
|
|
implement it yourself by editing mod/quiz/format/custom.php
|
|
|
|
<P>The amount of new code needed is quite small - just enough
|
|
to parse a single question from given text.

Moodle users can contribute! </p>
