Quiz 4 is in RC, and will soon be stable. We're not making any big changes to it, but there are certainly many big changes we would like to make.
The next version of Quiz will be the first Drupal 7 version. For that version we will probably also make a few changes. The three first changes that comes to mind is:
-
Use multistep form for quiz taking
Currently FAPI isn't used correctly. I don't know why, but I suspect it is because of historic reasons. If we use FAPI it will be easier to maintain the Quiz taking logic, and it will also be a lot easier for other modules to customize the quiz taking. (Change order of questions etc.) -
Support grouping of questions
So that we can have several questions on one page. -
Add a question menu
Enabling the user to jump between question pages.
We have a lot of feature requests in the issue list, and we will go through those issues when we start planning Quiz 5. The Quiz 5 branch will be created(or head will be updated) as soon as Quiz 4 is stable, or we might even start it when Quiz RC10 has been released.
Please share your thoughts on Quiz 5 here!

Another feature
Hi Falcon,
I'd like to add as an additional item the adaptive question quiz take. I'm not sure if there will be easier to include it as an add on or should be included in the core.
Let me know.

Quiz as an API
I'm thinking that things that don't have to be a part of the Quiz project should be add-on modules. We should focus on making Quiz a good core for other modules to extend.
I'm not sure about the adaptive quiz feature, but I'm hoping that it can be an add-on module as well.
Add on Documentation
Hi Falcon,
I couldn't find the addon doc for quiz. Can you please send me some doc or the link to it?
Thank you!
Julian
New default theming
The default theme for quiz will be completely rewritten for Quiz 5.
Answer questions outside of quiz
One thing I really would like to see in future Quiz versions is the ability to answer questions outside of a quiz, so a question node could be a part of a book structure for instance, or that we could embed questions in content elsewhere (would also need a custom filter and some token support, like [quiz:quiz-id:question-id]). The questions would / could then be answered from for instance the content it refers to, and the quiz result would be updated "in the background".
Several things would cause issues (or simply not work) here, like skipping questions, backward navigation, questions that belongs to several quizzes etc ++, but if there is something we could do in Quiz 5 to at least prepare for something like this that would be really cool! (I don't know what that would be, though?)
Quiz in Block + Ajax
I think that your are looking for the Block + Ajax feature. I can be done creating quices with one questions and have the possibility to embed in into a block.
Re: Quiz in Block + Ajax
..not really, although this would be nice too.
I'm thinking more like a scenario where you for instance have some content you want your users to go through (maybe organized with the book module), and within this content you can embed questions from a quiz, so going through the content and answering a related quiz is done in "one" operation.
Re: Quiz in Block + Ajax
Like what ClosedQuestion does?
This: http://wmmrc.wur.nl/drupal-modules/closedquestion/example-questions is a book with questions.
Similarly
Hi, yes similarly!
Although, can you have other text / content surrounding the questions, or can the closed question node only include the question? It would be preferable to be able to add content around questions, and also to be able to include questions in more than one content type. Also, for our case we would need the Quiz functionality for storing user results, and the UI for creating questions.
InsertNode
With the InsertNode module you can add any node everywhere. Inserting a closed question in a block of text works just fine.
You can also add text above and below a question. Of course the question text itself is always above the question. Personally I usually prefer to keep my question separate if I'm adding questions to a large body of text.
You're right of course that there's no question editor yet for Closed Question. There's currently also no central place to access all user results, even though those are stored for every question.
@vegardjo, +1, certainly that
@vegardjo, +1, certainly that would be a nice feature to have in quiz.
Answer questions outside of quiz
I built this functionaity for a client recently and have been thinking about providing it as a patch.
The functionality of this is:
The reason behind allowing quiz questions outside of a quiz is that it allows learning without assessment.
Let me know if this is what you'd expect and I'll look at making the patch
Kind regards,
John
@johnennew, Please roll a
@johnennew, Please roll a patch and submit it in quiz issue queue. I am sure your patch will be helpful to many of us here. I will see if I can add this to quiz 7.x later.
Quiz in Block + Ajax
Another feature can be to embed a quiz into a block and taking it through ajax. This is not for educational purposes more for lead generation that gives a nice usability interface for the quiz. Any thoughts?
Quiz in Block + Ajax Completed
Hi Falcon,
I just finished the ajax + block functionality, let me know what can we do to include it.
Regards.

progress bar on quiz
have a block, or maybe in the body, have a progress bar so you can see if you jumped a question, and jump between questions.
