This is a project to largely re-develop the question bank for Moodle 4.0 (if possible). The aim is to
- add some important new features, like question versioning, and making it easier to track where each question is used.
- improve how the code is organised, for example by introducing a new 'Question bank plugin' type (qbank_).
- and fix some long-standing bugs, for example the problems with question backup and restore.
This project has a follow-up project Question bank improvements for Moodle 4.1 which continues with the issues not making it into Moodle 4.0, and new additional requirements.
Technical overview of the plans
What we are planning to do is outlined in this forum thread. That thread is quite long, with discussion of the plan, but the key posts which describe the plan are:
- Setting the scope
- Question bank will be made up of plugins
- List of the plugins that will be created initially
- Question bank will store the version history of each question
- How the question bank will track the places (quizzes) where questions are used
- Some initial UI wireframes
- Question (and following discussion) about how complicated the filtering/searching system needs to be at first
Project support
This project is proceeding thanks to the support of a number of universities and other organisations who crowd-funded the development.
Work-in-progress
In time, we will and more information here, for example links to a prototype site.
