Infinite test attempts

    Infinite test attempts

    Hi

    We'd like to allow our users infinite attempts at tests, but without displaying the answers to them when they Submit.

    We can't seem to make this happen - is it possible?

    No, not possible as things work now. Unless you want to write the answers outside tests, and leave the answers empty when developing questions.

    OK, thanks Greg, we'll work around this.

    Why not? It's entirely possible to hide per-question results after submitting and on the submission result page -- by editing the PHP code.

    I'm assuming Roger is talking about an option to turn of answers.

    Otherwise, just about anything is possible with programming.

    Yes, I was looking for a button or check box :-) The rest is beyond me.

    Greg, you've worked on our system before - would this take much work do you think?

    I'd be a little while before we could get to it, but I don't imagine it would be too much work to create a patch.

    If its really something you need, we could work this into the public code, with a little additional effort. Then it'd be there permanently, and you would not need to maintain a patch.

    Perhaps Indie is available for hire. He might be able to get to it faster than we can.

    Start by documenting how you might expect the feature to function. With lots of detail, so the we can judge the effort accurately.

    Yes, we've considered a similar thing, though not user-configurable.
    Roger: in any case you'll need a detailed description of which interface elements should be disabled or modified. I guess we could easily get in touch via LinkedIn if needed.

    HI guys - got to split now but will be back to update this thread

    Re: Infinite test attempts

    Hi again - told you I'd be back ;-)

    What I would like is in the Edit Test/Survey section under the Manage tab in an instructor login:

    Under the Attempts allowed dropdown, a Yes/No radio button with the text "Display correct answers?"

    If Yes is selected, Atutor behaves as it does now. If No is selected, Atutor will still show the user their overall mark, but not which questions they got wrong or right.

    Is that enough info?

    Cheers

    Roger
