To understand this issue we need to understand how is common cartridge QTI detection implemented in Moodle. In the current implementation we use metadata for every quizz to determine the appropriate type. Like this:

<itemmetadata>
<qtimetadata>
<qtimetadatafield>
<fieldlabel>cc_profile</fieldlabel>
<fieldentry>cc.multiple_choice.v0p1</fieldentry>
</qtimetadatafield>
</qtimetadata>
</itemmetadata>

Having these descriptos directly enable us to determine the type. We tried to create detection code for quizzes based only on their structure ignoring metadata but it turns out to be impossible task. Common cartridge supports 6 types of QTI quizzes - True / False, Multiple Choice , Multiple Response , EESAY, FIB and Pattern Match. Using structure detection we can only detect 100% sure Multiple response and Essay.

The way to resolve this issue is to add metadata that identifies type of quizz.

I have scheduled conference call with Microsoft dev. team about this issue. We will see if this patch is enough to resolve the issue they have, and if not I will reopen it.

After the talk with people from Microsoft and Colin Smythe on behalf of IMS we concluded that the current implementation of CC import in Moodle does not process QTI assesments completely correct.

There are two issues at stake here:

1. <material> tags are not being completely processed. Right now only mattext is being used, while matimage, matvideo, mataudio and other rich content tags are simply ignored. This should be fixed.

2. <flow_mat> tags are not correctly processed and thus no feedback present is being currently imported into Moodle. This also should be fixed.

I am reopening the issue, and we will try to adress it as sonn as possible
