Re: [Bodington-developers] Questionnaire Functionality

[Selwyn L. <sel...@ph...>]

This might be slightly off the wall... So I will keep it simple.

calling on experience of a similar scenario where users were required to 
fill in a form

I believe you can keep the anonymous aspect of a mandatory form process 
and enforce compliance

what we did was stop access to a given piece of an application until the 
mandatory form had been completed,
only the user knew if they still had access and soon got access after 
completing the form required.

We explained to the user that they must fill in the form or they could 
no longer do X

I think this maps well to your requirement as you can be granular and 
choose what they cannot access any further... I think it maps well to a 
course of modules which need to be done sequentially.

Your could make it time and % based, but if it really is mandatory then 
you can make it so...

All the questionaire monitor needs to know at anyoone point is 
percentages... of course it may become quite embarrasing an apparant if 
a student cannot continue to do their work.

You may want to add some bells and whistles such as informing the 
student that they must complete the questionaire and while the system 
knows they haven't done so yet, the other party does not, nevertheless 
they cannot continue using X until they have completed the questionaire...

Well its a fine day today and why I'm looking at this... who knows

Have a good weekend

Cheers
