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==
Please choose one of the following:
You can download specific versions for Moodle 1.9, 2.0, 2.1 and for 2.4 up to 2.7 from [http://code.google.com/p/moodle-cloze-editor21/downloads/list Google code].


==Overview==
*[[Cloze editor for Atto]], if you use the Atto default editor for Moodle 2.7 upwards.
*[[Cloze editor for TinyMCE]] - if you use the old TinyMCE text editor.


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.
* Please see the 'Other languages' paragraph below.


==For Moodle 1.9==
[[es:Editor Cloze]]
 
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===
 
# Unzip
# 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 2.0 and 2.1===
 
# Unzip.
# Copy the contents of the directory to the directory '''lib/editor/tinymce''' on your Moodle installation, keeping the directory structure.
# Visit ' Administration > Site Administration > Notifications '
# Finish the installation process by clicking on the 'Upgrade Moodle database now' button.
 
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
 
===Installation for Moodle 2.4 and higher versions===
# Unzip
# Copy the contents of the directory to the directory '''lib/editor/tinymce/plugins''' on your Moodle installation, keeping the directory structure.
# Visit ' Administration > Site Administration > Notifications '
# Finish the installation process by clicking on the 'Upgrade Moodle database now' button.
 
==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 is a small yellow question mark in the HTML editor.
[[File:Cloze editor symbol.png]]
* Write a small text (e.g, the poem) in the HTML editor
[[File:to make a prairie_1.png|400px]]
* Select a word to be replaced by a CLOZE (in this case, '''bee''')
[[File:to make a prairie_2.png|400px]]
* Click on the small yellow question mark [[File:Cloze editor symbol small.png]]
* Choose the type of CLOZE sub-question format that you want (in this case, a drop-down menu in-line in the text)
[[File:to make a prairie_3.png|400px]]
* The correct answer has been placed automatically.
* Check it and write some feedback if you want
[[File:to make a prairie_3.png|400px]]
* Fill in the wrong answers (if any)
[[File:to make a prairie_4.png|400px]]
* Click on the 'Insert' button to process
[[File:to make a prairie_5.png|400px]]
* The correct CLOZE syntax will be shown within the editor window
[[File:to make a prairie_6.png|400px]]
* Save the question
* Check that the question works as intended

==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 something 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.
[[File:cloze editor language customization.png|600px]]
* And here are the translated strings being used inside the plugin:
