MoodleQuizDownloader

Automatically downloads all attempts of a Moodle Quiz and stores them as PDF or HTML.

The moodleQuizDownloader is a ruby gem - you'll need to install Ruby first.

$ gem install moodleQuizDownloader

This script downloads all attempts of a moodle quiz and saves them in pdfs named with the student names. For this it logs into moodle via the http/html web site, goes to the quiz and scrapes all information like student names etc. from the html it finds.

To get started, you first need the moodle id of the quiz you want to download. E.g. if the url shown in the browser was

https://moodle.htw-berlin.de/mod/quiz/report.php?id=4711&mode=overview

If you view the quiz's attempts in the browser,

 4711

is the id.

for example, run

$ moodleQuizDownloader.rb -e 4711 -u drblinken -s http://moodle2.htw-berlin.de/ -p geheim --verbose

to see a list of all attempts in exam 4711 on the specified server, and

$ moodleQuizDownloader.rb -e 4711 -u drblinken -s http://moodle.someschool.de/ -p geheim --verbose download

to download them.

to see all options:

$ moodleQuizDownloader.rb help

e.g.:

 irb
 load 'lib/moodleQuizDownloader.rb'

 arguments = "-o /Users/kleinen/Documents/ss2013/exam-     ckup/info3/pz1/exam_a/raw -e 23843".split(" ")
 options = OptionHandler.new(arguments).parse
 q = QuizDownloader.new
 agent = Mechanize.new
 q.smoketest(options.moodle_server)
 q.attemptlist(options,agent)
