The question must exist in the Question Bank of the course website you are embedding the question in.If you want to embed several questions on a single page, the system won’t stop you from doing so (although students might be annoyed by the slow page rendering) - but you would really be better off continuing to use Moodle Quiz for asking multiple questions.Īs already mentioned, the use of both category and question IDs are used to produce unique IDs for embeddable questions. You could instead use a Combined question to present various sub-questions as a single question, though. It is possible to embed multiple questions in succession, although as each IFrame is independently processed by the web browser, multiple embedded questions can slow down the rendering of the webpage for the user. Formal assessments (which may go under various names, such as ‘Tests’, ‘Computer-Marked Assessments’ etc.) would and should still happen in full Moodle Quiz activities. For this reason, we expect questions to be for informal use as part of a consolidation and/or reflection activity, and therefore there is no need for responses/scores to be recorded. Our expected use of this functionality is for single questions to be embedded within learning materials. The result is web content as shown in the following screenshot (which is an internal test document). Using exactly the same process, we can embed a question into Structured Content using tags (and setting parameters just like the ATTO embed interface). Yes, it’s called Structured Content, an XML-based publishing system that offers various outputs, including web content (analogous to Moodle’s Lesson activity), PDFs, and EPUB3s. ![]() Embedded questions will not work with Guests.ĭoesn’t the OU use its own content publishing system as well?.Should work with most question types, except Essay.As the embedded quiz questions responses are for informal quizzing, if a student navigates away and back, the question will be restarted automatically.If the question has variants, and the variant number is not fixed, then a different variant will be chosen when the question is restarted.After the student submits a response, there will be a ‘Start again’ button to restart the question.The frame will automatically resize to fit the question content. Embedded questions appear within an IFrame, although this should be invisible to users. ![]() There’s a couple of important things to note, though: Student view of the question with feedback In this screenshot we have an example question, with both category and question IDs clearly visible: What does the embedding process look like? That ID is then used to ‘embed’ the question in an IFrame, although what it is really doing is displaying the question from the Question Bank within the content. Some courses might simply use an ‘Embeddable’ category for all of their questions, while others may break their course down into weekly or topic-based categories and sub-categories.īut for now, if no ID field is detected, the category/question name is checked for “”, where abc = the unique identifier. Using category IDs makes it harder to accidentally embed the wrong question, but still provides flexibility with Question Bank hierarchies. For now, we’re using the category and question names (the text fields) to store the ID until they can be moved into the category/question forms as proper fields. The system needs an easy way to identify them, so we’re implementing ID fields.Īs a new development, there’s still some rough edges that will need polishing. ![]() Unsurprisingly, it starts with a question within a category.
