Picture poll in Moodle
Got a little worried when I was asked to put up a polling system in Moodle to allow teachers and students to “vote” for their favourite photo. I knew right away that the correct activity to use would be Choice but…
- Choice only had blanks for 10 options!
- There didn’t seem to be an “insert image” function either!
But thanks to various posts in the Moodle forums, I managed the following workarounds:
1. Edit /mod/choice/mod.html and change $standardblanks = 10; to the desired value (in my case, 23).
2. Paste img xsrc=”../../file.php/23/choice1/answer1.jpg” /
(place the code between <> ) in the Choice field. Replace “23” with the actual course number (e.g. in /moodle/course/view.php?id=23). Replace “choice1” with the name of the folder that the image files have been uploaded to.
Pretty easy after all! Thank you Moodle forums!
