The Quiz activity in Moodle provides multiple choice, true-false, and short answer questions that can be assembled into a quiz or an exam administered through the computer.

Why Use a Quiz?

We do not recommend using the Quiz activity for high stakes mid-term and final exams. However, the use of the Quiz activity for low stakes and more frequently administered quizzes is recommended as a formative assessment technique helping students and instructors measure learning progress.

Book Overview

The assignment module allows teachers to collect work from students, review it and provide feedback including grades. The work a student submits is visible only to the teacher and not to other students.

An assignment can require a student to:

  • Submit a digital file (e.g., word docs, video clips, spreadsheets, etc.)
  • Submit an answer into a text field
  • Submit both a file and a text field response
  • Neither – this will allow an “offline” assignment to be placed in the Calendar and Gradebook

When reviewing and grading assignments, instructors can provide feedback comments or upload files such as marked-up student submissions or annotated pdfs. Grades will be recorded in the course Gradebook.

Assignments are beneficial Moodle placeholders for in-class activities. For example, if students are giving presentations in class, creating an assignment activity allows you to include assignment instructions, a due date, and a point value.  The due date will appear in the Moodle calendar, and a grade item for this assignment will appear in the Moodle Gradebook.


URL Workshop Activity

Workshop is a powerful peer assessment activity. Students add submissions which are then distributed amongst their peers for assessment based on a grading scale specified by the teacher.
