User notes that they can print and email
Hi all. I built a course earlier this year that contains a "notes" function to allow users to take a moment to reflect and type their thoughts on certain questions. This is used in place of a typical multiple response/choice type question. Thought I'd share it here with you!
Here are the files:

I just used the initial concept of "type your thoughts - now compare to ours" on a course. I too wanted to avoid the multiple choice type question but still have some interactivity. I love knowing I can take it to the next level and let them print or email their notes. This is really great! Thank you for sharing all the goodies to make it work.

Hi, has anyone had issues with the emailing notes function where it will not work sometimes? I have created a course and have identified when there is too much text written into the notes sections the email will not appear. Any ideas?
I have used slightly different javascript than used in Stephanie's example.

Thanks Stephanie
I've developed an assessment tool for a client, using the email script you wrote, to pass results to the person who will give personal feedback to the user of the program. Works a treat on PCs but although the program works on an iPad, the email function doesn't. I wonder if anyone else has used the email function and had it work with an IPad?

Wow, this is fantastic, I am very mucha novice in comparision.
Does anyone know of a way to print all the course content instead of just notes. I would like for the audience to be able to print this for later review?
Thank
Lynn

A fantastic piece of work - thank you!
I am using LearnDash and require the ability to see what the pupils have said. I am using GrassBlade as the LRS. Can anybody help me find a way to see what the pupils have said in an Essay template or data entry box, please?
Much appreciated,

I am just wondering if this javascript I came across for opening up a gmail composer window could be incorporated into the email function so that people who do not have outlook but use gmail could use that?
Here's the javascript:
popw='';Q='';x=document;y=window;if(x.selection) {Q=x.selection.createRange().text;} else if (y.getSelection) {Q=y.getSelection();} else if (x.getSelection) {Q=x.getSelection();}popw = y.open('https://mail.google.com/mail?view=cm&tf=0' + escape(document.title) + '&su=Question re: Opportunity' + '&to=myemailaddress@mydomain.com' + '&body= I have a question about this Opportunity: ' + escape(location.href) + escape('\n') + escape('\n') + 'My question is: ' ,'gmailForm','scrollbars=yes,width=680,height=510,top=175,left=75,status=no,resizable=yes');if (!document.all) T = setTimeout('popw.focus()',50);void(0);
Can anyone show us how to use this so that it gets the variables one wants to pass etc?

In the demo file above the javascript used to run email goes to Outlook regardless of whether gmail is set as default email client. I just tried it. Gmail is my default email client but the script opens Outlook for me. Any further thoughts as a way of giving users a choice on what version of a course to use depending on their email setup rather than confuse them with more than one option from within a course?
