[Plugin: mTouch Quiz] Database storage or email

Yes! Both of those are something I’d like to do soon. I don’t think I personally want to use the email feature, but I should be able to implement it for my next update. I definitely want to track statistics of correct answers and such. I don’t think I’ll attach it to any logged in users, however. It would just be a general count of submissions. Is this sufficient for you?

One thing I am balancing with this is the need to keep the plugin light on the server (in my use connectivity is limited), so submissions would have to address that.

I have a lot of projects right now, but this is still important.

I’d like to hear your styling issues. I’ll admit I’m not a CSS master and might well have messed something up. I’d be happy to address them.

Please reconsider logging registered user data for quizzes.
This would take the potential for this plugin onto another level, where it could be used for elearning websites.

Many thanks

I am not opposed to this at all. But here’s the thing, the answers to every question are fairly clearly indicated in the html source. This was my design to make things easier for me. This way the program can function without interaction with the server (where answers could be more securely kept secret). This is a tool that is meant to be used for self assessment and learning. It is not good for institutional assessment since there is no real security in the testing environment.

With this in mind, paint for me a picture of what you might like to see kept track of, and how you might like to see the results displayed, and I’d definitely consider it. But I’ll repeat, this is not a secure environment for any assessment other than self assessment followed by a learning opportunity (through hints and the explanation.)

I do see your point of not presently having a real secure method of presenting the questions/answers.

For me, specifically, I would like to see some sort of tracking provided to know who took the quiz, and what their results where, with the option of only being notified when someone passed it.

We are using the plugin currently on a site to provide a simple pass/fail quiz for roofing contractors to become “certified” to use recycling facilities. Presently, we have it setup to use the %%RATINGS%% field. If the person taking the quiz passed, they are then provided a link to continue to a form to provide their information. If they fail, then they are asked to take the quiz again.

As far as CSS styling goes, I see how it would be fairly simple to re-style it, but the default styling seems pretty gaudy to me, imho.

I hope to add an email function in the next week or so and possibly a database storage of results. Thank you for your feedback and ideas. Contact me on my website if you have other questions/concerns/requests. I am going to close this message.
