New Question-Type: Date

1 Initial Problem

We need to ask in a survey for dates e.g. birthday. If we use Essay Questions not all students provide data in the requested format.
Thus  we use 3 SingleChoice Questions (day, month, year) instead.
3 Questions for 1 value causes problems in futher processing.

2 Conceptual Summary

We would to introduce a new question type: Date Question. 
The Date Question will not have an assigned scale value very much like the essay question. 
Data will be assumed to be categorical and only medians can be computed.

3.2 User Interface Details

3.3 New User Interface Concepts

None.

4 Technical Information

We are missing a concept for including KS inputs on survey pages. One solution could be to implement a component related conatiner "survey page" which acts like a form.

Privacy: If surveys asks for birthdays we store personal data in general fields. ILIAS will not know if these fields are used for storing personal data or not. It is the responsibility of the survey creator to handle any privacy issues, e.g. to provide exports to users of the data they have entered and to ensure deletion of this kind of data.

Security: If private data is stored, authors need to pay attention on who has access to survey results by using RBAC permissions.
