Introduction

The Quiz and Question in Moodle 4.0 project aims to improve behaviour and structure around questions and the question bank and probably some more.

This project has been initiated by tkorner, lucaboesch and timhunt and is now in a project/funding phase under the operational lead by a.bonaccorso.

Extra Detail

If you want extra detail about the development status the github issue for the project is here: https://github.com/catalyst/moodle-MDL-70329/projects/1

Goals

Some (but not all) of the goals of this project are:

• Convert Moodle question activities into first class activities (modules), to enable easier sharing and provide greater flexibility to question banks
• Making question bank functionality extensible via plugins
• Making it easier for other activities to leverage question bank functionality
• Adding extra functionality to the core question bank, such as better filtering functionality and add comments
• Adding ”versioning” support to questions in Moodle
• Bug fixes and improvements

Epic Issue Integration order:

There is a specific order to the integration of the issues in this epic. As there are dependencies and refactoring we need to take into account. We want to be able to make changes without breaking anything while we are in an "in progress" state.
Therefore, to help keep things more clear, the following is the order in each issue in this tracker that needs to be integrated.

The following can be integrated in any order: 

• MDL-71642     Add qbank_comment to core
• MDL-72075     Add qbank_statistics
• MDL-71636     Add column sort order to core
• MDL-72076     Question bank bulk actions UI
• MDL-72397    qbank_managecategories UI enhancement

We can then integrate the following:

1. MDL-71696     Implement question versioning

After these are integrated, one of these can be integrated in any order:

• MDL-72448     Add qbank_history to core
• MDL-72074     Add qbank_usage to core
