Test Result format (Instructor Side)

[Josh G]

On our forums at ZMA we post exam results (as I assume most places do) in each student's individual topic.

With the old exam center, results could be copied in a format that makes it easy for the instructor to clearly see what the student did wrong.

Now, in addition to weird formatting, the exam results display every answer, adding a few extra steps to make them "forum ready."

If you could add an "export to BBCode/HTML" button (that only shows wrong answers), that would be great.

[Josh G]

I don't know if this would be easier or harder, but possibly an image could be created?

[Ryan Parry]

I'd like to add to this, please bring back at least the correct answer being displayed as well. It's going to be difficult to teach when I don't know the other options or the correct answer that was offered up in the exam.

[Daniel Hawton]

Correct answer display is back. Images are rather difficult to generate and will take more processing power than I'd rather do.

[Josh G]

@dhawton and what about a BBCode/HTML format... or something that is able to go up on a forums without every question?

[Daniel Hawton]

Since so many forums have different ways of displayed tables in BBCode (if at all).. I'm not really sure. HTML should be placed in the clipboard if you highlight the table and copy it.. I'll have to think about it.

[Josh G]

@dhawton I think the formatting's more or less okay, it's just the fact that you see every answer and have to scroll through to find the wrong one. When posting in a student's folder, I feel it would be easier to just show what the student got wrong.

[Josh G]

Are there any options to allow for only the wrong answers to be displayed?

[Daniel Hawton]

No. There were pushes to get the full exam displayed so that is what I went with.

[Josh G]

A potential semi-solution perhaps... if a student passes, could you include the results of the incorrect questions in the exam passed email?

[Daniel Hawton]

I've had other staff members already worried about cheating.. I think doing that would actually upset the staff members who are already worried about their users cheating. (Although I don't know how you cheat an open book test other than just providing a 1. A, 2. B, etc -- but a pool of questions can make that extremely inefficient)

[Josh G]

I'm just thinking of other ideas on how to filter out the correct answers (to instructors specifically)

[Daniel Hawton]

Maybe tie it in with your website through Issue 47?

[Daniel Hawton]

Issue 47 is resolved, are you able to use that to get the data you need? https://bitbucket.org/dhawton/vatusa-new/issues/47/exam-results-through-the-api

[Josh G]

Perhaps. I'll have to see if my IT/AIT can access the proper data.

[Daniel Hawton]

It gives everything in JSON format, so it's pretty easy to filter and decide what to keep/ignore.
