Input first name/last name fields in Column or Course Presentation

I am creating a low stakes placement test.  I want students to enter their name at the top and then go on to answer a series of questions.  What are my options?  I have tried Quiz (Question Set), Questionnaire, and Essay and they don't do what I want.  I even tried with an Interactive Video and "text input" box.  This came closest to what I want...but I don't need to add it on top of a video.  What would be ideal is an unscored FIB question.  In Moodle, I was able to create an ungraded cloze question with 123456789 as the default answer and make it unscored.  This gave a space wide enough for students to enter their information and the fact that it was unscored allowed me to save the student's input without it costing them any marks.  Or maybe this is a call for a "text edit" activity type that can be added to a Column, Interactive Book, or Course Presentation.

Hi grackle,

Not sure if it will work but you can create an essay without placing a keyword hence it will not be "scored". I created a simple content here. This records the answers but does not score the content. If this works maybe creating a Quiz (Question Set) with multiple Essays will take care of this.

The "Essay" option leaves a space that is too wide.  What I did was add two identical Question Sets to a Column.  Each Question Set had a single FIB question with the answer *0123456789*.  I disabled automatically mark.  This submits the information I need along with the Column results.  The problem I guess is that the grade of each submission will be 2 marks lower than it should since nobody's name is 0123456789.  But at least I have the information I need.  It's not optimal though.  An unscored form with options for First Name, Last Name, Email, etc. would be a useful addition to H5P in the context of publically (non-logged in) users.

It should not be complicated to write something like this similar to how "Documentation Tool" works (ultimately something like Google Forms), but it's quite a bunch of work. Also, the backend side would either need to get it's own processors for reporting (or you won't be able to see the results conveniently) which means even more work, or people would be forced to take care of the xAPI responses themselves and fish out what they want to know.

What if, instead of creating this as a separate content type, we created an option to have an ungraded multiple choice question?  Right now, I see this in H5P.com. screenshot of FIB question response

That's up to the H5P core team.
