Hide question names in question list? #213

Closed anthonyyoud closed 11 years ago

anthonyyoud commented 11 years ago

Did we decide that we should hide the names of the questions in the question list and in the title, and just replace them with Question 1, 2, etc.?

The student doesn't really need to know what the question is called, and sometimes it makes the list look untidy.

We did, and it's happening in the knockout theme. Since the carousel on the left needs redesigning to make up for the lack of question names, I'd rather leave the old theme how it is.

Just my 2p worth on this one... My opinion would be it can be useful to have descriptive question names. It helps students go revisit a question when they have second thoughts. Also, when students sit paper exams, they often flick through questions, looking for ones in an area of comfort, and since flicking through online questions can take longer, seeing a list of the question names can help.

Just my 2p (and thought I'd say hi!)
