{{Template:Question_engine_2}}
There are some long-standing problems at the heart of the Moodle quiz module. Some design decisions that made sense when the quiz was started in the Moodle 1.1 days that are creaking at the seams now, because the quiz and question system has expanded so much.

The main problems are
* The database structure is not normalised. This leads to robustness issues, particularly on overloaded MySQL servers.
* As features like adaptive mode and each attempt builds on last were added, the code has evolved into spaghetti.
* And we want to add yet more things like certainty based marking.
* It is more work than it should be create a new question type, and (judging by forum threads) the API is confusing.
* It is difficult to use questions in other modules like lesson.
These are explained in more detail in [[Development:Question Engine 2:Rationale|Why this change is needed?]] below.

This is a large proposal, so I have broken it down into sections. The [[Development:Question Engine 2:Design|Design]] is the key part. The other sections support that.

* [[Development:Goals of an online assessment system|Goals of an online assessment system]]
* [[Development:Question Engine 2:Rationale|Why this change is needed?]]
* [[Development:Question Engine 2:How the question engine currently works|How the question engine currently works]] - this may help you understand the new design.
* [[Development:Question Engine 2:Overview|Overview of the new system]] <- '''If you only have time to read one bit, read this!'''
* [[Development:Question Engine 2:Design|Detailed design]]
* Developer documentation that will apply once the new system is finished:
** [[Development:Overview of the Moodle question engine|Overview of the Moodle question engine]]
** [[Development:Developing a Question Behaviour|Developing a Question Behaviour]]
** [[Development:Developing a Question Type|Developing a Question Type]]
** [[Development:Using the question engine from module|Using the question engine from a module]]
* [[Development:Question Engine 2:Implementation plan|Implementation plan]]
