Congratulations

The document located at <http://www.di.uevora.pt/moodle/help.php?module=quiz&file=import.html> was successfully checked as XHTML 1.0 Strict. This means that the resource in question identified itself as "XHTML 1.0 Strict" and that we successfully performed a formal validation of it. The parser implementations we used for this check are based on OpenSP (SGML/XML) and libxml2 (XML).

"valid" Icon(s) on your Web page

To show your readers that you have taken the care to create an interoperable Web page, you may display this icon on any page that validates. Here is the HTML you could use to add this icon to your Web page:

Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict 
  <p>
    <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer"><img
      src="http://www.w3.org/Icons/valid-xhtml10" alt="Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict" height="31" width="88" /></a>
  </p>

A full list of icons, with links to alternate formats and colors, is available: If you like, you can download a copy of the icons to keep in your local web directory, and change the HTML fragment above to reference your local image rather than the one on this server.

Linking to this result

If you would like to create a link to this page (i.e., this validation result) to make it easier to revalidate this page in the future or to allow others to validate your page, the URI is <http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.di.uevora.pt%2Fmoodle%2Fhelp.php%3Fmodule%3Dquiz%26file%3Dimport.html;ss=1;verbose=1> (or you can just add the current page to your bookmarks or hotlist).

Validating CSS Style Sheets

If you use CSS in your document, you can check it using the W3C CSS Validation Service.

  120. <p>This function allows you to import questions from
  121. external text files, uploaded through a form,
  122. or by choosing a suitable file already in the
  123. course Files area. </p>
  125. <h2>A note about character encodings</h2>
  127. <p>If your file contains non-ascii characters then it must use UTF-8 encoding.
  128. You may be able to select or convert to UTF-8 using your favourite editor,
  129. or it may be an option in the exporting software.
  130. Be particularly cautious with files generated by Microsoft Office applications,
  131. as these commonly use special encoding which will not be handled correctly.
  132. XML based import formats will be handled
  133. automatically provided your Moodle server is running PHP 5.</p>
  135. <p>A number of file formats are supported:</p>
  138. <h2>GIFT format</h2>
  140. <p>GIFT is the most comprehensive import format available for importing
  141. Moodle quiz questions from a text file. It was designed to be an easy
  142. method for teachers writing questions as a text file. It supports Multiple-Choice,
  143. True-False, Short Answer, Matching and Numerical questions, as well as insertion
  144. of a _____ for the "missing word" format. Various question-types can be
  145. mixed in a single text file, and the format also supports line comments, question names,
  146. feedback and percentage-weight grades. Below are some examples:</p>
  147. <pre>
  148. Who's buried in Grant's tomb?{~Grant ~Jefferson =no one}
  150. Grant is {~buried =entombed ~living} in Grant's tomb.
  152. Grant is buried in Grant's tomb.{FALSE}
  154. Who's buried in Grant's tomb?{=no one =nobody}
  156. When was Ulysses S. Grant born?{#1822}

  162. <h2>Aiken Format</h2>
  164. <p>This is a simple format for importing multiple choice questions from a text file.</p>
  165. <p class="moreinfo"><a href="help.php?file=formataiken.html&amp;module=quiz">More info about the "Aiken" format</a></p>
  168. <h2>Moodle XML format</h2>
  170. <p>This Moodle specific format imports quiz questions that have previously been
  171. exported in the same format. The format is straightforward and is best demonstrated
  172. by exporting a category in the Moodle XML format. The XML format is capabable of
  173. importing image files.

  178. <h2>Missing Word</h2>
  180. <p>This format only supports multiple choice questions and
  181. short answer question, depending on the number of answers. One
  182. answer generates a short answer question, two or more answers
  183. generate a multiple choice question.
  184. Each answer is separated with a tilde (~), and the correct answer is
  185. prefixed with an equals sign (=). Here is an example of a multiple
  186. choice question:</p>
  188. <blockquote><p>As soon as we begin to explore our body parts as infants
  189. we become students of {=anatomy and physiology ~reflexology
  190. ~science ~experiment}, and in a sense we remain students for life.
  191. </p></blockquote>
  193. <p>Here is an example of a short answer question:</p>
  195. <blockquote><p>As soon as we begin to explore our body parts as infants
  196. we become students of {=anatomy and physiology},
  197. and in a sense we remain students for life.
  198. </p></blockquote>
  201. <h2>Blackboard</h2>
  203. <p>This module can import questions saved in Blackboard's "POOL" type export
  204. format. It relies on XML functions being compiled into your PHP.
  205. Note that you must first unpack the exported zip file and provide Moodle
  206. with the appropriate .dat file.
  207. Note that this version <strong>does not</strong> work with Blackboard
  208. Version 6 and newer.</p>
  211. <h2>Blackboard V6+</h2>
  213. <p>This module can import questions saved in Blackboard's export
  214. format. It provides limited support for Blackboard Version 6 and
  215. 7. It relies on XML functions being compiled into your PHP. You
  216. must upload the zip file exported from Blackboard.</p>
  219. <h2>WebCT</h2>
  221. <p>This module can import questions saved in WebCT's text-based format.</p>
  223. <p class="moreinfo"><a href="help.php?file=formatwebct.html&amp;module=quiz">More info about the "WebCT" format</a></p>
  226. <h2>Course Test Manager</h2>
  228. <p>This module can import questions saved in a Course Test Manager test bank.
  229. It relies on different ways of accessing the test bank, which is in a Microsoft Access
  230. database, depending on whether Moodle is running on a Windows or Linux web server.</p>
  231. <p>On Windows it lets you upload the access database just like any other data import file.</p>
  232. <p>On Linux, you must set up a windows machine on the same network with the Course Test
  233. Manager database and a piece of software called the ODBC Socket Server, which uses XML
  234. to transfer data to moodle on the Linux server.</p>
  235. <p>Please read the full help file below before
  236. using this import class.</p>

  241. <h2>Embedded answers (Cloze)</h2>
  243. <p>This special purpose format imports just one type of question, the
  244. Embedded Answers (also known as Cloze) format.
  245. </p>

  253. format.</p>
  256. <h2>Examview format</h2>
  258. <p>This format can import from Examview 4 XML files. Note that the older
  259. versions of Examview are not supported.</p>
