Example Bookmarklet for Moodle Quiz Settings

  I needed a way to make the same settings changes to many quizzes in a course. Since Moodle doesn't offer a bulk edit for quizzes, I created this bookmarklet to save me a ton of clicking. Hopefully someone else finds this helpful. To use -- modify the settings or remove the ones you don't need, open the quiz's Edit Settings page, and click on the bookmarklet.

  This works on my university's installation of Moodle 2.6. This may or may not work for you. I'd suggest backing up your course before attempting to use this!

  Feel free to get in touch on Github or Twitter (@taptapdan) if you have questions and I'll try to help.
