tiki-edit_quiz : Creating Quizzes

This page is where you'll do most of the heavy lifting for the quiz interface.

If you have the right permission you will see a link to "Admin quizzes" in the application menu at the Quizzes section. Clicking on Admin quizzes will take you to the followin screen:

In this screen you can see the list of existing Quizzes that you can edit, and you can create a new quiz or modify an existing Quiz.

To create a new quiz you must enter the Quiz name and a description the next fields are explained below:

Quiz Can be Repeated

If you check this option a user can take the Quiz as many times as he want, if you don't check this option then registered users won't be able to take the Quiz more than once. Note that there's no way to prevent anonymous users to tae Quizzes many times so if you do want to prevent a Quiz from being taken many times you should make the Quiz available only to registered users (you can set individual permissions for Quizzes if you want or you can use the global permission to make all the quizzes available only to registered users.

Bug: Quizzes are repeating!

Time Limit

If you want you can establish a time limit for Quizzes, note that users can cheat and spend more time so don't take the time limit as a very tight restriction. When a time limit is activated the user answers will be automatically submitted after the time limit expires.

Store Quiz Results:

If you check this option then the results of the Quiz will be stored each time a user takes the quiz and you will be able to see the answers of each particular quiz instance. If you don't check this option only general stats about the quiz will be stored (percentage of times for each option in each question, average score for the Quiz, score for each Quiz result etc)

$qpp = array(

insert graphic

To edit an answer indicate the score range for the answer (for example from 0 to 10 points) and the answer text. If the score for the quiz matches the range the user will see the answer after the quiz is submited.

If more than one range is valid then some answer will be pick, this is not recommendable try to make ranges that don't overlap at all since range values are inclusive.

tiki-take_quiz.php : Taking a Quiz

From the main menu users that can take quizzes will see a link to "List quizzes" that can be used to see the list of quizzes that can be taken. The list is very similar to the following:

By clicking on a quiz name the user will be able to take the quiz. A quiz can be displayed as follows:

If the quiz has a time limit indicated there will be a clock at the top of the screen indicating the time remaining and the quiz form will be automatically submited after the time reaches zero. Time is also stored at the server level for the start and end of each quiz so if the user tweaks the javascript clock the server will check the time elapsed and invalidate the quiz result if the time is more than the time allowed to take the quiz.

Completing a quiz is simple just pick one option for each question and submit the quiz.

After the quiz is submited if there's a result matching the score the user will see the quiz result. If not he will just see the score.

• include the alpha list of names as found in the trackers...this will speed finding names when there are literally hundreds of users taking the same quiz
• TAs might be handling secretary work

Store stats

• Without a managing element for the quizzes there is no easy way of storing and managing scores. A way to store/ publish the data for public consumption... some way of getting the scores to the users is critical. A way of storing the stats for further analysis is critical!

Pretty Print

• don't put the quiz stats on the same page as the question stats, it makes it difficult to print

send the results to a wiki page for archiving

The quiz stats screen can be used to check stats for quizzes. For example:
