What is the added functionality of this module?

Hello,

with this module you don't need to create a content type for each questionnaire you want to provide on your site.

Imagine an e-learning website, with hundreds of evaluation tests, if you use only CCK, presumably you would need a content type for each of these tests, making this impracticable.

What this module does can be outlined in these 3 simple steps (with 3 user roles: site administrator, teacher and student):

1. Site administrator creates a content type "Evaluation" and add two question fields to it: "Closed questions" and "Open questions", with the former set as "multiple-choice" and the latter as "story" (assuming there's a "story" content type).

2. Teacher create an Evaluation node and add 3 closed questions and 2 open questions to it.

3. Student then is presented with the evaluation and can complete that by responding to 3 multiple-choice closed questions and 2 open questions by submitting story nodes, all in a nice ctools module wizard.

I hope it's clear for you now.

This is definetly an interesting approach. I want to keep an eye on this module, not time for testing just now... any posibilities of providing a screencast explaing/demoing it?

Excellent! I've been looking for a solution like this for ages. Can you tell me are the nodes created by the student replies commentable? Also are the content types as customisable as ordinary content types and available in views?

I'm aiming for an issues section where a single question is presented to users with a certain role, (eg 'Do you agree with ....?'), with a node view of the responses, and each response linking to its own node where users of all roles can discuss the response in comments. It sounds to me as if this is the silver bullet I've been looking for - is my understanding of it right?

so this module allows your typical "Teacher" to create their own eval form, with out giving them the ability to create a new CCK type.... ???

what about this use case... job listing site. An employer/recruiter wants to post a job listing with some very specific criteria. The recruiter would be able to cerate a NODE type of this questionnaire for this job opening.

interesting. How would this compare to allowing the recruiter to doing a webform? For that matter, what about letting the teacher do a webform?

@mallory99: yes, all your points seem correct.

@IrishGringo: what you say is exactly the opposite of what I said in #1. That said, no, you'll not have a content type for each evaluation of this site, and this is why this module is useful.

Comparing it to webform, I think the main advantages are:

1. you can submit a node as answer to a question, that allow things like completing a task by submitting an audio file.
2. it enforces "teacher" users to follow certain rules when submitting "tests". You can set min and max number of questions, and have separate groups of "questions" e.g., you can have an evaluation with both questions and tasks sections.
3. with views, you can create charts, and other visualizations for showing up the evaluation results.

How easy would it be to link the answers to a questionnaire to a user profile? Looking at putting together a dating site with surveys that users need to fill out.

@jergason, I'm not sure I understand your question. Can you elaborate? What do you mean by "link the answers to a questionnaire to a user profile"?

Hello,
I would like to create an automatic mcq: where the teacher indicates what is the good answer?
can I to give a final note to the student as soon as he ended the mcq?
can I to determine that a student can answer only only once every mcq?
(sorry for my poor english !)
thanks

Sorry to re-open but I just found this module and think it might be very useful for me. I would rather have questions and answers be nodes then webforms.

In #1.
1. Admin creates a content type, evaluation.
question 1 is multiple choice.
question 2 is story.

2. I can see that you can give the teacher permission to create a node from the evaluation content type.
I can see by using it that they can then create a question from each field that the admin submitted.

So in your case above if the admin created two questions, one of type multiple choice, and the other of type question, are they both set to unlimited so that the teacher can add multiple options for each?

I think in number 5 that the answer to my question is yes. The admin would have to set the number of closed questions and the number of open questions that the teacher could add.

Just wanted confirmation.

Thanks!
