Test Question Interface

1 Initial Problem

Test questions are bound to the question pool and test object and have many dependencies to their methods. There is one exception in learning modules but this implementation is located in the SCORM learning module and does not allow the use of plugin questions. The main goal of this feature request is to allow a wider use of test questions. In partiular:

• Make questions usable outside tests

–Plugin question in learning modules
–Offline Exams and
–Flashcards, InteractiveVideo, App

• Keep question handling in question

–Migrate current implementation in LM
–Cut dependencies from test and pool
–First step toward question service

• Support offline and online

–Define PHP and Javascript Interface
–Respect capabilities of question and context

To achieve this goal, a Test Question Interface is defined that can be implemented by questions and used by player contexts.

2 Conceptual Summary

The specification is part of a concept for offline exams and can also be used to implement a page component plugin that allows the integration of plugged test questions on ILIAS pages. It is currently available in German only but can be translated when a stakeholder for this feature request is found.

3 User Interface Modifications

No user interface changes are planned for the presentation of questions. Just a refactoring of their presentation functions.

3.1 List of Affected Views

{Please list all views (screens) of ILIAS that should be modified, newly introduced or removed.}

3.2 User Interface Details

{For each of these views please list all user interface elements that should be modified, added or removed. Please provide the textual appearance of the UI elements and their interactive behaviour.}

3.3 New User Interface Concepts

{If the proposal introduces any completely new user interface elements, you might consult UI Kitchen Sink in order to find the necessary information to propose new UI-Concepts. Note that any maintainer might gladly assist you with this.}

4 Technical Information

{The maintainer has to provide necessary technical information, e.g. dependencies on other ILIAS components, necessary modifications in general services/architecture, potential security or performance issues.}
