It makes it easy for people to write questions in a text editor. GIFT is basically an authoring format, not an interchange format. I don't think it's worth exporting to GIFT though. I also support Drupal importing GIFT format. Thanks for bringing your Moodle experience to this thread.
#ATUTOR CMU GENERATOR#
a nicw way to test different Quiz-format isĬharles Kelly's Online Quiz Generator (c)ī) (you have to subscribe before, sorry!) Greetings from an enthusiastic moodler (all what has to do with elearning, course-design, didactic formats) with great symparthy for drupal (for the fantastic community & collaboration -options. Ī template for ms word (a) / open office (b) for editing large amounts of questions. and use a data-format, which has probably some advantages:Įxisting (particulary) open-source applications, which ara already using this format. Maybe it would be useful, not to re-invent the wheel. i think e better deskription of the moodle-Questions Data-Format ("GIFT") in to be found on the moodle-documentation page:
#ATUTOR CMU TRIAL#
We haven't taken this for a trial run yet, but the approach looks spot-on - I particularly love the fact that they built out a RESTful API (at ). This is also where the ongoing Drupal/Moodle integration work (at ) merits some close examination. It's that middle area where you have the best options for transporting content between the two apps.
In short, identify what makes sense to be native Drupal, what makes sense to be native Moodle, and what is common functionality. At some point, you reach a point of diminishing returns, where it's better to let Moodle be Moodle and to let Drupal be Drupal. We have just done some work moving resources between Drupal and Moodle, and one of the essential design decisions was what data to include, and what to exclude. So, it's more than an issue of straight import/export - it's also a question of what functionality to replicate between the two systems. This is the main barrier to exporting quiz/lesson content from Moodle into other apps - within Moodle, the data is both tied to their db model, and a specific set of interactions/rules about how users interact with that content.
#ATUTOR CMU CODE#
RE: "but their code is tied pretty closely with the Moodle database model". If there's support from the community and module maintainers, I will put in the coding time to implement it. What do people think of this idea? I'm interested in helping support the hypothetical teacher community I described as part of my PhD research in human computer interaction. Even better, the same question items would be available in other LMSes such as ATutor, SAKAI, ILIAS, etc. We could implement that API in Drupal's Bank to let Drupal serve as that hub, which would be much better as Drupal has more features to support community interaction. For example, the Question Bank module in Moodle has an API to make a Moodle instance into a hub that others can draw on for items. With this perspective, modules could be written for other LMSes to draw on Bank content in Drupal. Of course, that export could also go to the Quiz (Taking) module. Instead, the Bank module would let them create and find the best items that they want to use and then export them to their LMS. They aren't all concerned with running a quiz in Drupal because they have some other LMS such as Moodle or Blackboard at their school. What if the first two functions were broken out into a Quiz Bank or Assessment Item Bank module separate from the learner Quiz view? I think this would be very useful to educators who want to discuss quiz items and use them in their exams or homeworks. Right now the Quiz module handles authoring quizzes, searching for items, and taking the quiz. I'm writing to propose a kind of big idea that could give structure to the next 3 months of development. Graduate students will NOT be enrolled into the undergraduate level course and will be removed from the waitlist without notification.I'm excited that Sivaji (sivaji) has been selected to work on the Quiz module for Google Summer of Code and by the recent improvements that Matt (mbutcher) has been making. Graduate students MUST enroll in the graduate level version of the course.
