Incredibly poor English

It is appalling how poor the grammar is on these wiki pages. This is a program to encourage learning, but run-on sentences, improper punctuation, poor syntax and word choice are rampant in these wiki pages! This is not very reassuring for an educator wanting to use the program. Paul Perspectoff 21:59, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Paul, many thanks for your help in rewriting the documentation. Over time, as more people contribute to the documentation, including people for whom English is not their first language, it becomes necessary to rewrite the pages and improve the content. Your help is much appreciated :-) --Helen Foster 07:34, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Removed all other comments. I hope collectively we are slowly bringing up our editing standards. Leave this comment as a reminder to feel free to correct those kinds of errors.--Chris collman 19:35, 10 August 2011 (WST)

Quiz

Old templates relating to Quiz: Quizzes {{Quizzes}} and Questions {{Questions}}  HF reworked templates
New template {{Quiz}} HF reworked template
Brief, general intro page (appx 100-300 words; 7 - 20 sentences), visuals most welcome. 
Point the user to items that can be found on the template menu (box on the right) and what they contain.
Quiz_module - OU, Dec 10, can improve the overview (Quiz module index page?) include a few pics of diff. Quizs

Pages that have quiz in their name

this is to help me think about the big picture and how pages flow. May erase later.--Chris collman 20:11, 7 September 2011 (WST)

-As I understand it, the pages in this MoodleDocs wiki that have names that correspond to pages in Moodle are supposed to explain the Moodle page. However the mod/quiz/index page, like the corresponding pages for other modules, appear to serve the additional role as the main page for the Quiz module. So I intend to put general information about the quiz onto this page, similar to how it has been done for the lesson module on [[mod/lesson/index]] for example. Is that what I am supposed to do? Or should there be a separate main page for the quiz module, named perhaps simply Quiz? -- [[User:Delius|Delius]] 17:59, 26 January 2006 (WST)

-:Thanks for your comments. All contributions to the documentation are most welcome. I would recommend that general information about the quiz is put onto [[mod/quiz/index]] however if you have any alternative suggestions, perhaps they could be discussed in the Using Moodle [http://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=5838 Documentation forum] (available soon!) -- [[User:Helen|Helen]] 18:10, 26 January 2006 (WST)

-::Putting general info on [[mod/quiz/index]] (and similarly for other modules) sounds like a good solution to me, I just wanted to make sure that that is indeed what you had in mind. Thanks for being so prompt about answering questions. --[[User:Gustav|Gustav]] 18:15, 26 January 2006 (WST)

+*[[Quiz module]]
-== "This page"? ==
+**[[Quiz settings]]
-I was a bit lost at "This is the page where you can see all the quiz activities in the course, organized under four headings".
+**[[Using Quiz]]
-I thought I was reading an overview of the Quiz module itself, so the reference to "This page" was not clear. Not sure how it's supposed to work, so I didn't correct it, sorry :-) --[[User:Samuli Karevaara|Samuli Karevaara]] 05:14, 17 March 2008 (CDT)
+**[[Building Quiz]]
-:Hi Samuli, thanks for your comments. I've changed "This page" to "The quiz module index page". You're right about [[Quiz module]] page being an overview of the Quiz module, however it's also linked from the quiz module index page in Moodle (e.g. [http://moodle.org/mod/quiz/index.php?id=34 Moodle Features Demo Quizzes]). --[[User:Helen Foster|Helen Foster]] 08:36, 21 March 2008 (CDT)
+**[[Quiz reports]]
-==The question bank and the quiz module are separate==
+***[[Quiz responses report]]
-They are obviously related, but they are different, so I don't htink it is helpful to put this page in the questions category.
+***[[Quiz grades report]]
-::I added Question bank to the Quiz template and Quiz to the Question bank template.  I was tired of not having a handy link.  The two subjects are closely related.  I did not do this for the Lesson template (grin). --[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 16:16, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
-==Changes in Jan 09==
+***[[Quiz manual grading report]]
-I like that this entry page to the Quiz module is so compact.  However, I did not get the idea of all the things Quiz could do from the introduction.  I added a "features" section. While I generally like to separate out opinions from instructions, I thought they were appropriate in the features section.  And added a few of my own,as if Quiz needs any promotion.
-The interplay between Quiz and Question bank is hard to separate on a functional level. A teacher who comes to Quiz will also be dealing with Question bank.  Essentially without question bank, you do not have anything in your quiz.
+*[[Quiz preview]]
-The index page needs a little work but we will leave that for another day.
+*[[Quiz results block]] - Contributed code?
