Description
I've been having a look at the QTI2 export facility, and have found quite a few problems - it took quite a lot of editing to get any items to play in either the R2Q2 or APIS QTI2 item players, and even then they were incomplete. I've mostly been looking at choice items.
Issues that all exported item types have
- Schema declaration is incorrect
- The extra schema declaration in response processing shouldn't be there.
- Images that are included in XHTML are missing from the exported content package.
Issues specific to multiple choice items
- General feedback is not included.
- Overall feedback is not included.
- The 'FEEDBACK' variable is not declared.
- The option specific feedback is displayed at the end of the item rather than beside the option.
- Scoring is broken, a simple MCQ item with correct score of 2 and incorrect of 0 became 1 and -1 respectively.
- Identifiers are integers, which is not allowed.
Content package issues
- Content package structure is wrong, the manifest is in a sub-directory.
- Resource file names and paths are incorrect in the manifest.
I've created a new template for choice items that creates items that can be rendered and processed using R2Q2 (from http://www.qtitools.org/), which I've attached. This template also needs a few lines changed in moodle/question/format/qti2/format.php - I've attached an updated version.
My template currently ignores grade settings so all items are exported with a default question grade of 1. I've also only tested it with a couple of test items - it needs further testing with a greater variety of items.

Further comments about hooks that I typed in to skype at Howard while he was away 
[10:09:30] ... I started looking at the qti pluggability issue
[10:09:34] ... and it looks as though it's quite simple,
[10:09:37] ... to do something like:
[10:09:58] ... http://rafb.net/p/4oS8oC95.html
[10:10:01] ... in the big switch() statement
[10:10:12] ... but we need to pass the smarty object to that method
[10:10:17] ... is that what $extras is for ?
[10:12:04] ... because it needs to use all the stuff that smarty has already been assigned , I think
[10:15:27] ... I think it should take the smarty object in $extras by reference, so it can ->assign() , and then return $template which will have to be a fullpath, like question/type/mycustomhack/templates/qti2.tpl
[10:15:31] ... or the template path could even by by contract
