Dear Joel,

from what I now know the evaluation system they develop is an improvement of the homework component and not an assessment tool for students to test their own knowledge. There should be something like the survey package that is extended to support this feature to collect entries on the one hand but also to send a reply back to the student for feedback. Thus each question type should also have an optional right/wrong checkbox and an optional textarea (*) for the right/wrong reply.

As soon as the user submits all the entries are stored, then evaluated, a dynamic reply page with as a combination of (*) depending on the user entry is created and sent back to the student.

Does this make sense to you?

I will try to play a bit with the existing survey tool to see how much effort the implementation is.

Greetings,
Nima
