first, that's great news.  congratulations.

will anyone working with ECQuiz be coming to the Plone meeting
in San Francisco Nov 3-6?  perhaps staying for sprints afterwards?
if so, would you want to participate in a sprint for ECQuiz?
even if not, what would you wish a sprint might accomplish?

[ANN] ECQuiz 1.4 RC1

Mario Amelung — 2011-10-23T20:29:44

The eduComponents team is pleased to announce the first official release
candidate of ECQuiz for Plone 4.

This version has not been tested extensively with Plone 3 - it might or
might not work as well.  Plone 3 users should use ECQuiz 1.2.1.

We also integrated SVN-branch "cewing_fix_imports" which enables
importing QTI packaged-quizzes with support for zip files with pathnames
in them.  Thanks to cewing.

We are looking forward for your contributions and feedback for this
release candidate of ECQuiz.

Hi

I installed ECAssignmentBox 1.4.2 on Plone 3.3.5 via buildout. When I to 
Site Setup and try to install it in the Add-on Products, I get this 
traceback and the installation fails: http://dpaste.com/526969/. Can you 
please help?

Re: ECAssignmentBox and workflow state "published"

Mario Amelung — 2010-08-16T07:32:25

Dear Alain,

On 2010-08-04, Alain Salvatore wrote:

For historical reasons workflow states (i. e., there names) used to
allow submissions are »hard coded« in the appropriate page templates and
Python classes :-(

If you search for the term »'published'« inside ECAssignmentBox's
product folder you will find

  content/ECFolder.py
  skins/ecassignmentbox_templates/ecfolder_view.pt
  skins/ecassignmentbox_templates/ecab_view.cpt
  skins/ecassignmentbox_templates/all_assignments.cpt

With slightly effort one could parametrize the workflow state used in
the files above.  Therefore ECAssignmentBox's global properties could be
used but must be extended - as well as the page template for »Site Setup
-> Assignment Box Settings«.

Best regards,

In order to process doc files you need to 'extract' the content from the
doc file as plain text and than hand it over to the keywords backend.  I
don't know if Python-libs are out there for processing doc files.  If
yes and with some changes in method »ECAutoAssignment#execute« it should
be possible.

ECAAB can not be configured this way.  Since ECAAB was designed for
weekly exercise sheets or self-study, immediate feedback is one of the
keys to keep students motivated.

In order to hide the automatic feedback from students and show it first
to the instructor needs rework of the code.

Can you send us a traceback.  Without it I have no idea where and why

Typically you have to publish the quiz only; it's not necessary to
publish all sub items.

ECAutoAssessmentBox auto grading

Gangadhar Hariharan — 2010-07-23T20:49:31

Hi,

Can ECAutoAssessmentBox be configured in such a way that the result of
the auto-grading cannot be seen by the student but only the
instructor?

Thanks
Gangadhar

ECQuiz: Insufficient privileges for authenticated user

Gangadhar Hariharan — 2010-07-22T22:43:47

Hello,
Can you tell me how can i make an authenticated user to access MC
question in case of ECQuiz?
i create an ECQuiz instance. Make it published. Add a MC question.
Make it published. Add a MC answer. Make it published. But an
authenticated user gets "insufficient privileges" error! This happens
only after adding MC answer

Thanks
Gangadhar

AutoAssessmentBox, spooler and backends are primarily designed for
automatic testing of programming assignments.  However, with the
appropriate backend one can also test submissions in other formal
notations or analyze natural-language assignments.

For multiple-choice questions I would prefer ECQuiz.  With some effort
maybe one could adjust ECAutoAssessmentBox for multiple-choice
questions, but in my opinion this is not applicable.

The other way round - using ECQuiz with ECSpooler - it should be
possible to test paragraph answers.  But this demands ECQuiz to be
extended in a very comprehensive way.


The installation package seems to be faulty.  I've replaced it on the
Web site with a revised version (see also attachment of this mail).

But, as mentioned in my mail before, I'm not sure if this version fully
works with the current SVN-version of ECAssignmentBox for Plone 3.  If
not, I'll provide you with a developer snapshot.

Best wishes,
Mario

please see the »Installation« and »Quick Start« sections in README.txt.

The common procedure is that you first start ECSpooler and than start
several backends which in turn register themselves at ECSpooler.

We have implemented multiple backends for Haskell, Scheme, Lisp, Erlang,
Prolog, Python, and Java.  However, ECSpooler only ships with a demo
backend, Keywords, which checks whether a submission contains certain
keywords specified by the creator of the assignment.

We do not include other backends because, when executing student code,
you have to take security precautions, e.g., by using chroot, jails, or
systrace.  If you are aware of the risks and if you are able to deal
