OU multiple response

Maintained by Tim Hunt, Mahmoud Kassaei, Chris Nelson, Hieu Vu Van
The main difference from the standard Moodle multiple choice question type is in the way that grading works. When creating the question, the teacher just indicates which choices are correct. If there are n correct choices, then the student scores 1/n for each correct choice. If they select too many choices, then incorrect choices outweigh correct ones.

Yes. We are at the OU. It works.
Did you install the plugin properly? In particular, have you been to the Site admininistration -> Notifactions page?

I see. Thank you, Tim!

The only export format available for this question type is Moodle XML format.

Hello,
I would like to export OU multiple response questions to GIFT or Microsoft Word table format, to make checking their content easier. I used the export function from the Moodle administration menu, but the GIFT file does not contain the questions (only their names). I get a similar result when exporting to Word. Is this a known issue, or might I have done something wrong? Also, would it be possible to convert automatically a category of OU multiple response type questions to the standard multiple choice type?

Thanks Tim, I have done that...

A better place to ask would be in the quiz forum: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=737

Hi there, I am not sure if I should post this here but I am looking for a slightly different question type and reasoned that you would know if it exists: I have an instructor who wants multiple answers possible but to limit the allowed number of answers (to something higher than 1). This would basically mean the students would not be penalized by 1/n for each incorrect answer. Does such a thing exist?
Cheers,
Dave

I think it's done but only in the last few days. It shouldn't be long before Tim makes it available.

If you are saying that you want the students to type
"A spreadsheet and a text editor"
and you want to give them two marks or one mark or none, then what you need is the Pattern match question type which is another of our question types on this site.
Documentation is here http://labspace.open.ac.uk/mod/oucontent/view.php?id=470268&section=5.3.1
You will need something like
match_mow(spreadsheet text_editor) for 2 marks
match_mow(spreadsheet|[text_editor]) for 1 mark

Hello Im trying to grade a Spreadsheet and a Text Editor. Im having trouble because i used the short answer question type and it only compares 2 given text equaly, I can´t find the way to use the answers field as points for the total answer.You seemed to have achieved that goal right?
