Tim Hunt has published a quick discussion on a new feature coming to Moodle 2.9 which provides additional settings to control how quizzes display their questions to students. The particular settings help to limit visibility to quiz items until a student has met the criteria (kind of like a conditional release of questions within a quiz).

The dependencies are set up to prevent a student from seeing a question which might include context for an earlier item they need to answer.

You can check out this feature and the other cool features we covered recently [features in 2.9] soon in the upcoming release.

Read more about the dependency settings for quizzes at https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=310239#p1241781 and at https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-40990.

Tim Hunt‘s posted a great synopsis of a few usability changes to the Quiz module in the Moodle Forums and now is asking for feedback (votes) through either the forum or the tracker for those who are interested. The improvements aim to remove some of the interstitial clicks required to start a quiz, to make relevant information (whether the quiz has a password, time limit, limited attempts) earlier in the work flow and overall to remove some of the extra clicking that’s required to navigate to start, within, and once a student has completed a quiz.

There are 7 total UI tweaks part of the Epic tracking improvements. You can find a link to them all and see their progress here: https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-46090.
