Description

As per Tim Hunt's suggestion in MDL-14643 this is a new 'improvement' bug entry with a possible solution to managing display of all answers in a multi-choice quiz, instead of just the selected one and the general feedback. The issue was also covered in MDL-10841 but both issues are now closed.

Our current solution (attached as a patch file) was to add a new config entry labeled "Feedback for all answers" to the Quiz update screen. This supports any teaching staff who actually want to be able to display all answers even when the student got the answer wrong or when the quiz was set for multiple attempts.

The option can be set for either of the three "Immediate", "Later" or after "Closed" conditions and the default value for a new Quiz can be configured under the module settings at site level. By default we have this set to 'off' as it should probably not be used in adaptive mode.

The patch involved using one of the three spare higher-order bitmask values in a similar way to the way the overall and general feedback options are managed for a Quiz. Our fix may not be appropriate in your environment but it is working for us and we welcome any comments or suggestions for improvement.
