Delete all class learners at once - 21 August 2008

As well as register a whole class of learners at once you can now delete your whole class of learners at once as well.

On your 'Administer learners' pages, under your list of learners, you will see 'Deleting all learners at once'. You will need to verify your usename and password before the deletion will happen.

Insert questions in tests - 7 June 2008

You can now insert new questions anywhere in a test.

You will see the new link with each question, 'Insert above question', when you go to edit your tests.

Just remember when inserting questions or even adding new ones to the end of a test, if the test has answers saved for it, the answers will become out of sync with the questions once you start adding or inserting them. E.G. If you insert a new question at position 1, then every question will move down a place and no longer align with answers currently saved for it.

Solution: Either export the tests results to excel and remove them before editing tests, or copy the test and edit the copied version then assign it to your classes or groups.
