The easiest way to describe this is to say: can we make a UI for creating quizzes that is just like Google forms / Microsoft office forms?
That is, a WYSIWYG view of the quiz as you are building it, where mostly you can just type into the page to author the questions and the feedback?
Still, behind the scenes, this would work just like the Moodle quiz currently works: Creating questions stored in an appropriate area of the question bank, and building the quiz database structure to record what questions are in the quiz.
Obivously, in Moodle, it complicated. There are many different question types, with many differnt options. I suggest that to be doable in the dev-jam, we focus on a small proof-of-concept:
- Just support one question type (probably multiple-choice) and probably only some of the options that has.
- But, we do this in a way so there is an API, which any question type could implement to also support this inline editing.
- If there are questions in the quiz which do not support this API, then you won't be able to edit them inline, but they will still be displayed, and you can click a button to edit them with the standard edit question form.
- For the first version, we probably only support simple quizzes: for example all questions on one page, no randomisation. Support for more can be added later.
