@David Heuring ... Hi with Thanks for the advice. Still it hasn't been solved after having tried to move it up to the course level.
Here is the VDO : https://drive.google.com/file/d/14ZlQpuvaZ-npnoAkkbM0natsePyfMLrV/view?usp=sharing
My moodle version is 3.8.1 (Build 20200113)
Hi @Kampanart.
I'll be happy to pass on my experience with this same issue. Years ago, I reported a bug to the original developer, Adam Franco. He tried to resolve it but was unable to find anything wrong so I assumed it had something to do with my configuration. As a work-around, I put all of the sound files and images in a separate folder and linked to them. Not a great solution, but it worked. Eventually, I stumbled upon the solution. In a nutshell, I had my "test bank" at the system level. When I moved it to the course level, the sound files played and the images showed in the test (not just the preview page). I suggest you check to see if your test bank is at the system level. If so, move it up and you should hopefully be fine.
@Developper ... I don't know why when doing the question(s) ... pictures can't be shown and the sound clip can't be played. But when looking at the question(s) by previewing ... either pictures and sound clips can work as usual. Kindly recommend me. Thanks.
Thank you, Vitaly, really great work!
What's up, folks! Check out the 4.0-compatible version of the plugin! As the release notes state, the primary goal was to ensure compatibility with the latest core question engine additions (specifically, handling questions' versions). No other sensible improvements in the plugin yet.
Hey Jan, in the quiz settings you as a manager can check whether a student can see the overall result after each quiz session. As for the detailed report, similar to what a teacher has, well, I doubt the idea behind the adaptive testing itself encourages revealing of complete details of testing to students. This is a debatable question though, there is some mentioning of that in those links in the plugin's description.
Hello. Have you planned to provide any kind of feedback to the students? A similar report like the report the teacher has? Thanks
Hey Stasa, at this moment the CAT logic is tightly coupled to the plugin, so it's not possible to extract it to build something new around it. It's usable only with Moodle. Perhaps, in future this logic will be decoupled and we can take another look at your question.
Hi, I would like to integrate the CAT plugin with my WP and use it for NCLEX-RN course testing, is that possible?
Hi Jan, no estimation yet, though the work is already going. Stay tuned!
Hello everyone,
I hope you are all doing well!
I am KHALID KABCHI from MOROCCO and I am preparing a thesis in the field of the contribution of adaptive testing in the school practices of Moroccan learners.
Since I am not a computer developer, I find huge problems in creating my own adaptive test on my moodle space that I created for this purpose. The thing that blocked the progress of my research for three years. Indeed, I have completed all the parts: problematic, theoretical framework, bank of items to use....) I only have to create the adaptive test.
If there is anyone who can help me overcome this blocking problem by helping me create my own adaptive test.
Hello. Any estimated day for Moodle 4.0 support? Thanks.
The new version has just been released, and the essential goal was to make the plugin compatible with Moodle 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and all minors of 3.11.
Hi Theodore! This really is an awesome plugin and I can't express sufficient gratitude to Vitaly for keeping it updated after the original developers declined to do so anymore. My previous organizations uses it and has given literally tens of thousands of English language placement tests using it. All was fine pre-Covet when we gave the test in our computer labs where time could be monitored and reminders given to students to finish up. But once we had to go to an off-site modality without any oversight, there was no way to be sure students weren't looking up answers or spending hours on the test (although the latter can be checked when reviewing the results). Putting a time limit will affect the outcome, however, since the algorythm would stop sooner than the proper score/level is determined. So, although we considered doing that, it really isn't an acceptable solution. I suppose one could add a time clock as a reminder to students, but again they could still continue the test. Another option might be to put a time limit on each question where if it isn't answered within a minute or two, it is marked wrong. This would, of course, require some serious coding which may not be feasible. I wish I could offer an optimal solution but there doesn't seem to be a way to get an accurate score any other way than the way the test is currently designed. Maybe others have suggestions.
