ExamGhost for Moodle is a Manifest V3 Chrome extension engineered for Moodle 3.11 & Moodle 4.x (/mod/quiz/attempt.php). Double-click any .que question container one by one to highlight or explain answers in place, or press Alt+S to capture MathJax and STACK Maxima formulas—while keeping M.mod_quiz.secure_window focus state 100% intact.
Double-clicking Question 1 on Moodle triggers an inline solve, selects the verified option, and opens the Right-Side Answer Banner.
Built for /mod/quiz/attempt.php, STACK MathJax, and Cloze blocks.
Moodle 3.11 & 4.x Architecture
Moodle quizzes render each question inside a structured div.que container with .formulation and .qtext nodes, while optional JavaScript security mode (M.mod_quiz.secure_window) blocks right-click and copy shortcuts. ExamGhost operates strictly one question at a time without leaving the attempt tab.
When an instructor enables Moodle's “Full screen pop-up with some JavaScript security”, Moodle intercepts contextmenu, selectstart, and copy events. Because ExamGhost parses the underlying .que .qtext DOM directly on double-click, you never need to highlight or copy text to the clipboard.
University STEM courses rely heavily on Moodle Calculated questions, Embedded Answers (Cloze), and the STACK Maxima CAS plugin. ExamGhost extracts both inline MathJax TeX strings and pluginfile.php plots via Alt+S.
Moodle's mod_quiz_autosave AJAX service periodically writes draft responses and timestamps to mdl_quiz_attempt_steps. Because ExamGhost has no “Solve All” button, you solve and select answers one by one at realistic human intervals.
Moodle 4.x Telemetry Audit
| Moodle Capability / Telemetry Vector | ExamGhost (In-Page AI) | ChatGPT Tab-Switching | Legacy Sidebar Extensions |
|---|---|---|---|
Works when M.mod_quiz.secure_window disables right-click & copy | Yes (Double-Click .que Block) | Blocked (Cannot Copy Text) | Partial (Fails on Cloze Inputs) |
Window focus retention (document.hasFocus() === true) | 100% Maintained | Fails (Triggers window.blur) | Fails on Popup Focus Shift |
Reads authenticated /pluginfile.php/ session-locked diagrams | Instant Alt+S Viewport Crop | Requires Manual Save & Upload | 403 Forbidden (Missing MoodleSession) |
Pacing inside mdl_quiz_attempt_steps history table | Natural One-by-One Cadence | Suspicious Idle Gaps Between Tabs | Bulk Auto-Fill Flags Step Timestamps |
| Invisible Mode (Alt+1) with zero visible cards on screen | Yes (1px Dot Indicator) | No (Full Browser Tab Visible) | No (Injected Sidebar Panel) |

MOODLE FAQ & TECHNICAL REFERENCE
Direct engineering answers regarding Moodle 4.x attempt logs, M.mod_quiz.secure_window browser security, and STACK math solving.
mdl_logstore_standard_log (such as quiz attempt started, page viewed, autosaved, and submitted). However, if your instructor enables Moodle's JavaScript security popup or installs a third-party quiz access rule plugin (like quizaccess_honestycheck or tab-change monitors), leaving the tab triggers window.onblur. ExamGhost runs inside Chrome's isolated MV3 execution world so you never switch tabs or lose window focus.mdl_quiz_attempt_steps), showing the exact second each question was initialized, autosaved (todo / complete), and graded. Because ExamGhost solves strictly one question at a time on double-click, your autosave timestamps progress naturally across the quiz.M.mod_quiz.secure_window module blocks clipboard copying and context menus to prevent students from pasting questions into ChatGPT. With ExamGhost, you simply double-click anywhere on the Moodle .que block or press Alt+S—no text selection or clipboard access is required./pluginfile.php/[contextid]/mod_quiz/questiontext/..., which requires your active MoodleSession cookie. External AI crawlers get a 403 error when trying to fetch those image URLs. ExamGhost's Alt+S Snap-It tool crops the rendered pixels directly from your browser viewport..r0 / .r1 radio option directly inside the Moodle question container. Use Explain Mode (Alt+3) for Numerical, Short-Answer, or STACK algebra inputs that require exact symbolic syntax.
