Hi Gregor, That sounds very promising and a great addition to Mahara functionality. New semester starts here in just a few weeks (eek) but if I can get a chance I'll download and test and give you some feedback. As you mentioned having to use xml would limit it to power-users, but it shouldn't b

There are different question types: textbox, textarea, radio buttons, check buttons, drop-down selects, etc. I was playing also with the idea of creating combo-box element (which a sort of a union of textbox and drop-down select), but it proove to be to much right now... Oh and I forgot to mention

Forgot to mention that Gregor is working on a survey plugin from which it might be possible to use some code. I haven't tested the plugin yet and it seems that you need to know XML, but maybe some underlying infrastructure could be used. -- You received this bug notification because you are a mem

At the moment I regard the artefact feedback given directly on the page as the same feedback that you could provide if you go to the artefact page itself. It's just pretty much a quick view to avoid clicks and to make the feedback (at least short feedback / the latest feedback) more visible. Furthe

Hi Kristina, Yes - your synopsis of how this might work as a new "form" artefact type is exactly what I had in mind - and thank you for taking the thought further about who would be able to amend the artefact and what metadata it would contain. The new proposal that you've outlined for immediate

Hello Gordon, Thank you for the further explanations. Now I understand it a bit better. :-) So what we would need is a new artefact and block type that allows for the creation of a form in which you can at least define text fields (single lines) and text areas (multiple lines). The user who fills

Hi Kristina, I guess there are a couple of ways of achieving this, though original idea hadn't been to publish directly to student page. We currently use a manual paper report for every student each term, with the completed form being sent to the Head of Department or Module Leader for approval

Hello Gordon, If I read it correctly, you wish the teacher to add information to a student's portfolio page. Or would you like to see that functionality in the feedback area? This could also be useful for working with rubrics. ** Changed in: mahara Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- You r
