Overview

This question types deals with musical intervals and may be useful for instruction at the high school or college level. Answers are entered in a graphical user interface.

Current Features

  • Mutiple answers may be configured for specific feedback or partial grade
  • A graphical user interface is used to enter answers

Some Ideas for Future Development

  • Include interval identification as an alternate question
  • Use the Flash interface to enter question options when creating or editing a question
  • Generate a question bank or add a randomization feature in the question options
  • Add optional, built-in automated feedback on various wrong answers

Requirements

  • Moodle 1.9.4, 1.9.5 or 1.9.7 (it may work with other version within 1.9, but has only been tested with these three versions)
  • Javascript must be enabled to allow for communication between PHP and the Flash interface

Installation

  • Copy the "interval" folder into the following folder: {moodle root}/question/type.
  • Login as administrator and load the "Notifications" page on the Moodle home page - this will create database tables used by the question type
  • Within a quiz, select "Intervals" in the "Create new question" dropdown menu
