Details

olat_exercise is a companion function for exams2openolat. As OpenOlat has no option during an exam to look at the precise question of a particular student – and more importantly the corresponding solution – one strategy is to search for particular words, numbers, or other strings in the database of all questions from an OpenOlat exam.

olat_exercise goes through all questions in the exam and selects those question(s) that match(es) the given search patterns. By default the question(s)/solution(s) are displayed in the browser and returned invisibly.

Value

A list containing either a single exercise or a list of such exercises (in case the search patterns do not yield a unique question).
