QuizPort (TaskChain) is a contributed module which allows teachers to distribute interactive learning materials to their students and view reports on the students' responses and results. It is in beta status and being designed to replace Hotpot module in Moodle 2.0.
Note: The QuizPort module is to be renamed the TaskChain module and added to contrib with the view to replacing the Hotpot module in Moodle 2.0.
Introduction
A single QuizPort activity consists of an optional entry page, a unit of quizzes and an optional exit page. Each quiz may be a static web page or an interactive web page which offers students text, audio and visual prompts and records their responses. The quizzes are created on the teacher's computer using authoring software and then uploaded to Moodle.
To view the quizzes, students login to Moodle and click a link on a course page to access a QuizPort unit. When teachers login to Moodle, they can see reports showing students' responses to the quizzes in the QuizPort units.
The teacher can define learning paths through a unit by adding pre-conditions and post-conditions to the quizzes. A quiz cannot be attempted until all the pre-conditions have been satisfied. After the quiz is finished, the post-conditions define what is displayed next to the student. Pre-conditions and post-conditions allow teachers to create adaptive learning materials which adapt to the students' responses.
QuizPort can be used with earlier versions of Moodle 1.0 - 1.9 .
