Description

Occasionally, we need to create a Choice activity with a large number of choices. For example, we will use a Moodle course to organize a 3-day trip for approximately 150 students. Among other choices, they select their own hotel room assignments. There will be about 40 hotel rooms in the list.

To make this easier to manage, I would like to suggest/request two new features to the Choice activity.

First, it would be much easier to create a list of 40 choices by importing the list of choices and limit numbers.

Second, I would like to have the option of displaying the responses vertically. A page that displays the responses to 40 choices horizontally will be hard to read and hard to use.

hi there,

have a look at the screenshots for the choice Blockin the modules and plugins database here:

http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=285

I've created a mini vertical Responses view - is this the sort of thing you mean? - this view would be very easy to incorporated with the normal responses page.

I'll look at an import function too. - both these won't be ready for 1.6 though! - maybe 1.7

I've attached a JPG with a screen mock-up of what I have in mind.

For my purpose, each student will need to see the detailed response before making his own choice (so that he chooses the room that his friends have already chosen).
