An interface that integrates with Moodle's existing HTML editor (HTMLArea in 1.9 and TinyMCE in 2.x) to support teachers in creating Cloze (Embedded answers) questions in the GIFT syntax.

Download

You can download specific versions for Moodle 1.9, 2.0, 2.1 and 2.4 (also works with 2.5) from Google code.

Overview

The integration (PHP/javascript) is essentially a new button in the HTML editor which brings up an interface that helps create CLOZE questions in the correct syntay. Works in all languages - uses Moodle's existing language strings mostly, except for four strings: 

   for the 1.9 version, English/German/French/Spanish are included
   for the Moodle 2.x version, translations are currently not included, so that these four strings will be displayed in English

For Moodle 1.9

Here's a demonstration of the 1.9 version:

http://www.pellic.com/mod/resource/view.php?id=2507


INSTALLATION for Moodle 1.9 version

1. Unzip 2. copy to your moodleroot directory, keeping the directory structure

The following files in your installation will be overwritten with mod'd files from the Moodle 1.912 standard package (so make sure to BACK THEM UP):

lib/weblib.php * lib/editor/htmlarea/htmlarea.php lib/editor/htmlarea/dialog.js

  • Overwriting weblib.php is OPTIONAL:

If you choose to include this modified weblib.php, the CLOZE-editor button will only show for teachers, and only in question-interfaces. In any other editor instances, and for students, it will be hidden.

If you refrain from overwriting weblib.php, it will still work, but the editor button will be visible in EVERY editor instance for teachers, but not for students.


For Moodle 2.x

Installation for Moodle 2.x version

1. Unzip 2. copy to the contents of the directory to the directory lib/editor/tinymce on your Moodle installation, keeping the directory structure.

The following files in your installation will be OVERWRITTEN with mod'd files (so make sure to BACK THEM UP):

lib/editor/tinymce/lib.php lib/editor/tinymce/land/en/editor_tinymce.php

Using the cloze editor

  • We will be asking the students to choose the correct word used in a poem by Emily Dickinson:

The cloze editor button and Moodle roles

The CLOZE-editor button will only show for teachers. For students, it will be hidden. Once installed, all teachers will see the cloze editor button every time they use the HTML editor, even when they are writing anything else not related to a cloze question (e.g: a forum post).

Other languages

If you make a Language customization, you can have the cloze editor in your preferred language. The following image shows a mexican spanish translation of the English language strings of this add-on. cloze editor language customization.png
