Improve feedback setup in self assessment questions of ILIAS LM

1 Requirements

This feature request is based on Mantis #16998.

2 State Right Now

When I add a question to an ILIAS LM, it's possible to add "Feedback" in the respective tab. But that feedback is getting ignored if I don’t also "Disable Default Question Feedback" in the LM settings.

If I disable this feedback, ILIAS will show a message in the "Feedback" tab: "Das Standard-Feedback ist zur Zeit in den Einstellungen des Lernmoduls deaktiviert." The downside of this setting is that I now have to add a custom feedback to each and every question in the LM. If not, ILIAS cannot fall back to the default feedback but will simply display a black line (see screenshot).

3 Suggestion for 5.2

My suggestion is to discard the setting and implement a new, simpler behavior:

• As a default, ILIAS always shows standard feedback.
• If a user adds a custom feedback to a question, only that feedback gets displayed.
• The possibility to show BOTH standard AND custom feedbacks gets discarded.
• There is no setting required.
• An information message gets displayed in the feedback tab: "If you enter feedback here, it will get displayed instead of the standard feedback."

According to Alex Killing and the Feature Wiki, the original behavior was introduced after a request by PHZH. In order to prevent any conflicts of interests, I hence consulted Caspar Noetzli by email. He agrees with my suggestion.
