Can't tell what people answered (WP plugin)

General discussion

I've been using H5PxAPIkatchu to get some more detailed results in the WP plugin. I recently made a change to the way my quizzes work, disabling the 'Show "Check" buttons' option, because I didn't want my students to be able to see their results before submitting. But now this seems to have removed the 'answered' verb display in H5PxAPIkatchu, which means I can't actually see what people answered question by question.

Am I missing something? How can I both see people's results and let them check and change their answers before they submit a quiz?

Hi sfokt!

I fear you can't unless the content types by chance trigger other xAPI statements that carry the information you need. The "completed/answered" statement is triggered by clicking on the check button.

Thanks for the reply. Can you let me know how to address the following problem then:

When the Check option is enabled, you can go to the test and click 'check' on a question without providing an answer. This gives you the option to see the solution. You can check all questions like this, and this enables you to finish the quiz, and see all solutions. But then you can refresh the page and just take the quiz again - because you didn't actually select any answers, the plugin will let you answer now. But now you already know all the correct answers.

So how can I both have the 'check' button on, allowing me to track people's answers, and not give people a way to cheat?

Note: I do want people to be able to see the solutions, but only after they actually answered the question.

Hi sfokt!

Students may do that, but if you're tracking xAPI, clicking on check will trigger the answered/completed event. If you track those, you can see how often your students tried and what responses they gave in each attempt.

You might want to activate the "save content state" feature in addition. Many content types will store their previous state and rebuild it when student reload the page or return.

If you want something else, I fear there's no good way except modifying the code of H5P content types.

Best,

I think I'll just need to give up on H5P and use a different plugin. I'll make sure to use it in projects that don't involve any assessment or result checking! Thanks again for your replies :)
