Exam setting: ask for student ID on frontpage; use it as random seed #925

Motivated by wanting to give each student a stable randomisation, without storing attempt data in the LTI tool.

The student would be asked for their student ID, and then that's used to set the seed for the random number generator before generating the questions.

The marker can then type in the same ID to see the same randomisation.
