StudentQuiz

Hi. im struggling with the approval part. Besides giving points, is it possible to make it that only the approved questions by the teacher will be the ones that the students will be able use in quiz and the ones pending will be unavailable for the other students till they area approved?

I need a this and like it.
But unfortunately questions deleted again. Error is same "question/invalidcategory"

Hi, Frank.
Thanks for the explaining about que questionbanks.
I have forgotten to say that SQ was working perfectly during several days, and today the questions have disappeared suddenly, simply trying to access the SQ main page, I had got the error "question/invalidcategory", even though the category was there, but without questions.
I do not understand what happened either.
Regards

Hola Carlos
Thank you for the additional information. StudentQuiz maintains its own category ("Default for SQName") and it is correct that you cannot see it from the course-questionbank. However, if you go into the SQ-questionbank, you can see the course-categories. So you can actually move questons from the SQ into the course.
To reproduce your observacion, I created the SQ "Test2", added a few questions, and within SQ renamed the category from "Default for Test2" into "Test2". I did not loose any question. I was also able to add further questions to the same category. Simply the default category for questions shared in context "Test2" is namend "Test2" now.
I'm afraid I do not understand the problem...
Best, Frank

Hello, I also have the same problem. All the questions have disappeared and the error was "question/invalidcategory".
Some details that can help. I had changed previously the name of the category (removing the word Default from the name). Also, I had created several questions (as a teacher)
As it is said by Polaris, the default category that is created when you create a studentquiz, is displayed in the questionbank of the studentquiz but is not displayed in the questionbank fo the course (question/category.php?courseid=x)
Regards

I think the reason for the error is that the category is not created normally.
The default category that is created when you create a studentquiz is not displayed in the category view menu.
This may be the case with my system.
I hope this information helps resolve the error.

Thank you for your kind.
This is error messages.

I need an exact description of the scenario in order to reproduce the situation. We have done countless tests, also in your environment, and have not lost a question.

Hello
I got a same problem like her.
All question is deleted. But I didn't.

Hello Barbara,
You can move questions into other categories, but your teacher seems to not have done that. So I don't know how this might have happened. Please let me know if you're able to reproduce this.
Regards, Frank

Hi Frank,
we are using the plugin in one of our courses and the teacher tells us that in two different times he has lost all the students' questions. The teacher did not delete the questions and did not move the questions into other categories. What could have happened?
Thanks a lot

Frank, right now I'm listening to you presenting StudentQuiz at the Barcelona MoodleMoot. This looks great. We will certainly use this plugin. Thanks for contributing it and congratulations to you and your team!

The questions are hosted within the particular StudentQuiz activity. You can access the question bank from inside a StudentQuiz activity (just click the gear-icon to get there).
You can also move the questions from the StudentQuiz activity into higher question bank categories, like the course level.
We might setup a short Skype session and I could guide you on the screen. I would be available in the evenings and on Monday.

I'm not sure how this happened. I remember when approving a large batch of questions a confirmation window came up and for some reason didn't respond to a button click and I pressed again. maybe that click got buffered and then applied to the underlying delete button?
We tried finding the questions in the question bank in other categories but we don't see them anywhere. In fact, it's not possible from the student quiz to see any other student quiz categories. Is this something that IT support has to address/enable?

If you delete a question within StudentQuiz, you will be prompted a warning first. If you confirm, then the question will be deleted from the database and you cannot revoke this step.
I'm just guessing: maybe you have accidentially *moved" the questions into another category. In this case you'll find them there.
