He wanted a better way to give a summary with original responses to print and attach to other papers for students. The way he was currently doing it was wasting a lot of paper.

What I need for moodle to do is be able to provide each student’s original response, right or wrong and score for each question and an overall score.

Being a Moodle admin and not having much “real life” experience with Quizzes – grading, viewing reports – I needed to take a look at the default reporting in Moodle 1.9.9 and then head over to Moodle.org to check out the modules & plugins.

After visiting Moodle.org, a CTRL + f and a find “quiz” I quickly found a promising module that could work – Quiz Report: Detailed Responses.

This quiz report plug-in displays all the responses given by students at the quiz in one big table. It allows this table to be downloaded as an Excel spreadsheet.

In Moodle 2.0, this was moved into the core distribution.

I installed it by following the instructions I found in a comment:

  1. Create a folder called “responses” under /mod/quiz/report/
  2. Copy the report.php and styles.css files included in the zip file to the newly created “responses” folder: /mod/quiz/report/responses/
  3. Create a folder called “quiz_responses” under /lang/ent_utf8/help/
  4. Copy the help files that are in the lang/en_utf8/help/responses/ folder in the zip file (three .html files) to the newly created /lang/en_utf8/help/quiz_responses/ folder.

This module creates a new link called “Detailed responses” when you View your Quiz and then click the Results tab. It’s essentially the same report as “overview” but it shows the student’s original responses instead of just a score.

The columns are: Name | Total Score | Question #1 | Question #2 | etc

Green = Correct Answer
Red = Incorrect Answer

So, a simple report but it could be very useful and efficient for teachers – maybe that’s why they made it standard in Moodle 2.0!

Here’s the latest from Martin Dougiamas

We just released Moodle 2.0.1 with 80 bug fixes made in the past month or so since the Moodle 2.0 release. There are no major security issues, they are mostly just related to polishing the interface and functionality of Moodle 2.0. See the Moodle 2.0.1 release notes for details, and get it from the Moodle download page or CVS/Git as usual. read more

Martin goes on to talk about 2.0.2,

“Moodle 2.0.2 will be focussing on performance in particular and should be about 4 weeks away.”

Also, I just found this version timeline on the Moodle Tracker

It looks like the end of June is when the projected release of Moodle 2.1 . However, we all know that it can and will get pushed back if it’s not ready : )

The first is Teaching and Learning with Moodle which is facilitated by Tomaz Lasic.

An organised, curated point for educators, new and experienced Moodle users alike to find out about Moodle, find quality links to sources of further information, collaborate on projects and share their best practices in teaching of children and adults in a range of settings.

This is a new course but long overdue! I’m very excited to learn and share here. One cool thing that Tomaz created in the course was a clever little resource called “Moodle Recipes for Educators – a community cookbook” where people can add examples of how they’re using Moodle in education. I haven’t added anything yet but plan to : )

The other course I’m going to mention is Moodle for Business Uses facilitated by Ralf Hilgenstock and Stuart Mealor. I just found this course today through a Linkedin Moodle group. I haven’t fully explored this course but I hope to get something out of it as I work with a business that uses Moodle for their courses.

This course is for discussing and sharing ideas about using Moodle for

* paid courses – where entrepreneurial businesses provide courses to customers in return for payment
* corporate education – where companies are implementing a site for internal courses

Take a look at all of the courses on Moodle.org.
