This is the first release since The Open University took over maintenance for this plugin.
Also, this is probably the last significant release which will support Moodle 3.11 and below. We are working on a new version which is compatible with Moodle 4.0, but because of the improvements in the question bank in Moodle 4.0, that is requiring significant work, and will be a new version which will be the focus of future development.
- Support for using StudentQuiz with Moodle Separate groups mode.
- A new feature to allow the teacher to pin certain questions at the top of the list.
- When using the approval process, there is now an option to have private comments between the student and the teacher, as well as the public comments on a questions.
- The state history of the approval process is now tracked, and can be seen by the teacher.
- There is also a new 'Reviewable' state so the student can make it clear when they have responded to the teacher's comments.
- In the question list, all the little action icons by each question have been moved into an Action menu.
- Where we print user names, those names now link to the user's profile, as is standard in Moodle.
- There is a new admin setting, which can be used to limit the 'Default roles to exclude from rankings' setting to show only the relevent roles. This is helpful if your site has a lot of custom roles.
- The content of the digest emails is now translatable.
- Fixes to improve accessibility.
- Fixes to the visual design, for example where things were not well aligned.
- The automated tests were improved so they run more efficiently.
