Infotext/Restudy-Questiontypeplugin for ILIAS 8.x

For ILIAS 4.4 to 7 see the Releases

Questiontype that allows inserting an additional element in your test, without any inputfields

It allows to insert a site in tests, which solely contains text/images/videos without any inputfields. Until now workarounds with other questiontypes had to be used to achieve this (e.g. the flash-Question with a renamed empty *.txt to *.swf). This has the disadvantage that those types can't have 0 points, therefore the "real" points always have to be recalculated manually after the test.

Points can be specified >= 0. This provides the flexibility to

• insert this element in a test without the need to recalculate the resulting points (Points == 0)
• grade a special test outside ILIAS manually after the test inside ILIAS (Points > 0)

This may be usefull for:

• adding a message between questions, e.g. when a new section of questions starts
• separating media (audio/video) and questions
• insert learningmaterial ("restudy") during self assessment
• using paperbased worksheets or other analog tests along with your ILIAS-test and insert the points in ILIAS via manual grading afterwards
