Open ghost opened 2 years ago
Hi Dirk,
I had a foggy memory that we added subcategory support awhile ago. Checking our test server, which is running the current (pre-Moodle 4.0) release (v4.7.0, 2022052400), I am able to create subcategories for the StudentQuiz in the course question bank, and then using our test student account, I can select the subcategory when creating a question. Creating a question in each using the test student account showed both in the table, so I can confirm that subcategory support appears to work.
We actually have a more basic solution to this at The Open University UK: we just use the question tags feature to denote the specific subject, though this might not be appropriate for your specific use case.
Does that help in the short-temr?
You've suggested some additional refinements that we'll take onboard, though I can't promise when we'd get to them.
Thinking about it more, we do support groups in StudentQuiz these days too - is there a way for students to choose their subject area, to get them into the right group for the StudentQuiz?
To clarify, we would probably look at adding a "filter by category" (if there are subcategories) option first. Afraid I can't give a timescale at the moment though. Then we'd look at further improvements.
I'd love to make more use out of the categories. To make it clear, what is the problem I give you an Example: We have different law's, which the student has to read and directly after reading the law he has to add 3 new questions. Currently I have only three Options:
possible Solution:
how it could look in use. Student opens the course and has to read the "law 1". When read, the link to the subcategory "law 1" appears. He can now add 3 new questions. When finished, he can move to "law 2". Same procedure. When finished with all single laws (i.e. "law 20") he gets the link, which allows him to acces the main category with all the subcategories. He can now choose, whenever he comes back, if he wants to train all the laws at once (having to remember, which one has which information) or only one specific law. Because it's a lot harder if all the categories are mixed, he gets 5 instead of 3 points for correct answering in the main category.
I hope it is understandable, what I'd like to have. Thanks a lot!
