Recent changes in Qedoc Quiz Maker:

• The media bank now supports deletion of multiple row selections.
• The module description can no longer be viewed while a test is in progress (Player). We made this change because we noticed that sometimes the descriptions of modules contain the answers - e.g. in those modules which contains lists of vocabulary.
• The web version of the Player has improved management of background images. These are now cached better so that on subsequent loading of the Player, background images appear instantaneously.
• A bug affecting user management has been fixed in the web version of the Qedoc Quiz Player.
• Results discarding. "Results discarding" is when the Player's record of a user's previous attempts is deleted.
• In commercial versions of the Quiz Maker, it is now possible to signal removal of the "discard results" option from the Player when a specific module is played. This makes it more difficult, but not impossible, for a student to delete all their previous results.
• Discarding of results is now more thorough than before - previously not everything was fully deleted.
• The Quiz Maker has an additional option for automatic discarding of results of the module build number has changed since the module was last played. Authors can use this when updating a module to ensure that results from old versions of the module are no longer kept. Keeping stored results may not make sense if a module is rewritten or substantially restructured.
• A bug was fixed in the Player where multiple choice questions continued to display correctness icons (ticks and crosses) even when "mark-as-you-go" correction was deactivated.
• The media bank operation for batch editing of permissions has been extended to cover the copyright/source field as well. This is helpful when an author has entered large numbers of media items and has forgotten to enter the copyright and permissions details correctly.
• Restrictions on loading modules with ND licences into the Quiz Maker has been lifted. While the ND-restriction may prohibit modification by others, nevertheless others should be able to inspect such modules, and the original authors need to be able to load versions issued by Qedoc or by their own colleagues. The requirements of the ND licence can be met instead during human review of submissions. Note: CC-BY-NC-ND is not generally available to authors, but is used occasionally when valuable and irreplaceable source materials have originally been released with ND restrictions.
