Development of the quiz fault-tolerant mode
- by Tim Hunt
- This allows the students to continue working on their quiz attempt, even if the network is unreliable, by storing everything on the client-side, and using Ajax when possible. I will try to show some more of the details.
- If the network connection never comes back, you can download the responses as an ecrypted file, which can later be uploaded ot the server.
- Work in progress code is at Tim's github repo
- Do we want this in standard Moodle? If so, when, and how do we add it? (It was developed as a plugin while it was an experiment. If it went into standard Moodle it would need to be merged into the main quiz code.)
- Estimated length: 20 minutes
