Qedoc

Version 2.6.6 released

  • Release date: 2nd January, 2010.
  • Fixes and changes to drag-and-drop gapfill questions: (1) setting the points per gap now works as it should; (2) the maximum number of random gaps has been increased from 1/4 to 1/3 of the total number of words; (3) the "minimum gap size" setting on random gap generators now works as it should (previously fixed at 3).
  • Modifications to the stimulus layout. Previously one could only add one of media/document/notes. Now all of these types can be combined in the display.

Version 2.6.5 released

  • Release date: 28th June, 2009. This version was released only as the web version of the Qedoc Quiz Player.
  • Erroneous "backslash/apostrophe" combinations in the author/organisation dislay are now de-backslashed (Qedoc Quiz Player).
  • Major update to the German language pack for the Qedoc Quiz Player.
  • Provisional compatibility with Moodle's new Quizport module, allowing the Qedoc Quiz Player to be integrated into Moodle.

Version 2.6.4 released

  • Release date: 20th April 2009.
  • The media bank now supports deletion of multiple row selections.
  • The module description can no longer be viewed while a test is in progress (Player). We made this change because we noticed that sometimes the descriptions of modules contain the answers - e.g. in those modules which contains lists of vocabulary.

Version 2.6.2 released

  • Release date: 6th April, 2009.

Version 2.6.1 released

  • Image files with JPEG extensions are now recognized as JPG files.
  • The description editor (Quiz Maker) has an additional function which can be used to extract lists of items from data tables. This is useful if you are creating (e.g.) a vocabulary training module and wish to easily extract a list of vocabulary items into the module description.

Version 2.6.0 released

Description

  • Italian language pack for Quiz Player now included, raising the number of languages to 11.
  • "History" icon removed from question bank toolbar (Quiz Maker).
  • Extra buttons/functions on the description editor (Quiz Maker) to help generate quicker, more informative descriptions based on module content.
  • Removed rule for "minimum 5 questions before upload" (Quiz Maker). This is because large flashcard decks don't actually need more than 1 question (as a template).
