[Contrib: Evaluation System] Question about editing copied questions

[Adam Marshall]

not really no! I did manage to figure out all the other configuration option though and founf=d ther page on confluence very useful: http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/EVALSYS/System+Settings

this page does have information on the hierarchy but as yet I havent followed what it says.

I don't think the permissions are connected to the hierarchy though. I think ther hierrachy is to do with who can see questionnaire templates (or maybe question banks) and who can see the results of surveys.

For permissuions I think you need the first option on the administrate screen "lecturers allowed to create evaluations"

We also discovered that adding the evaluation tool to our build wouldn't give lecturers the option to conduct evaluations on sites created before the tool was added, but was OK for new sutes. We have to patch the database to add the following permissions to old sites:

access eval.take.evaluation
maintain eval.assign.evaluation
maintain eval.be.evaluated
maintain eval.write.template

I've attached some SQL to update the DB permissions but we've also got an extra role 'contribute' which will need removing:

Hi Adam
A while back you emailed the EvalSys group about how to set up Hierarchies. Did you ever figure anything out?

We (Dayton) are currently investigating using this tool. The thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to give certain users the rights to evaluate certain courses. I think this is where the Hierarchy thing comes in, right? But I have no idea how to set this up.

Thanks!

We had this query from one of our users:

I copied a questionnaire template (A) and then tried to change the wording one of the questions on the *copied questionnaire* (copy of A). Then I discovered that the wording had also changed in both the original questionnaire template (A) and in the question bank.

I was expecting it to work like this:

* The original wording remains on Questionnaire Template 'A'
* The original wording remains on in the question bank
* new wording appears on Questionnaire Template 'Copy of A'

My comment on this would be

If all questions on a questionnaire MUST be in a question bank, then the above behaviour is logically correct, however, I think its very confusing.

Either

1/ don't allow editing of a question on a questionnaire template, or

2/ as soon as a question is edited on a template, pop-up a dialog box which requires the user to select one of two options

"You are editing a question. Do you

A/ want these changes to be reflected in the question bank (and on all other templates (possibly being used by other people) that also include this question), or

B/ automatically add the newly modified question to the question bank whilst leaving the original question in tact."

A/ would be good for on-the-spot spelling corrects or the like, B/ would allow easy addition of questions 'in-situ'
