1. What It Is
An experiment in setting up a private local Moodle server to run quizzes offline. The idea: students fill in a printed answer sheet, the sheets are scanned and uploaded, and Moodle’s offline quiz plugin handles grading automatically — no internet needed during the quiz.
2. What Was Done
- Installed Moodle on a local server
- Created a course, added the student list, and set up the question bank
- Downloaded and installed the offline quiz plugin (MOPAR)
- Ran a test quiz end-to-end — generating the answer sheets, conducting the quiz, and uploading the scanned files for evaluation
3. Status & Issues
The server ran fine and everything up to the upload step worked. The auto-marking step didn’t work — the server processed the files but the grading didn’t complete correctly.
Haven’t had time to debug it further. The plan is to try again on a different system and trace where the evaluation is failing. Work in progress.
