Quizzes Overview
Completion requirements
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.
1. How to Create a Quiz
Quiz Setup
- In a course, with the editing turned on, choose Quiz from the activity chooser.
- Give it a name and, if required, a description.
- Expand the other sections to select the settings you want. With the default settings, students can repeat the quiz, moving freely between questions, each on a different page. There is no time limit and scores and feedback display once they have completed the quiz.
- To change any of these defaults, and for more information on configuring your quiz, see Quiz settings
- Click Save and display.
- Click Edit quiz
- Click Add and then click '+ a new question' (If you already made questions in the question bank, then click '+ from question bank' or if you wish to add a question randomly picked from a category of questions, click '+ a random question'.)
- Choose the type of question you want to add and then click 'Add' at the bottom:
- Add your question. For help, see the documentation Question types.
- Cick Save changes and repeat the steps for as many questions as you need.
- Click 'Save changes' when you have made your question.
- If you want, change the maximum grade for your quiz to reflect the number of questions.
