Make sure you have set up cron properly on your server. You can check it is set up properly by visiting {yourmoodleroot}/admin/. A message will appear if cron is not working.

Operation

Using the module is simple. You set up an activity by adding an activity to a course.

Grading

Students create questions then you grade them. Note that if you allow students to edit their own questions then in the grading view questions that have been edited since you last graded them will be marked as needing regrading. Students cannot edit their questions after the activity has closed though. You may want to grade all questions once before the activity closes and allow students a chance to edit their questions after you have graded and commented on their questions and then regrade any questions that have been edited.
