The Moodle Quiz allows academics to conduct automatic and manually marked quizzes for students online. Quizzes are important for conducting formative and summative quizzes in Moodle.
The general way to develop a quiz is:
- Build questions in the Question Bank
- Create a Quiz activity with desired quiz behavior
- Release the quiz to your students
What is a Moodle Quiz?
The Moodle Quiz is a page where academics can build and release sets of questions for students to complete within a timeframe. It can meet many teaching needs, from simple, multiple-choice knowledge tests to complex, self-assessment tasks with detailed feedback.
Moodle stores all quiz questions in a question bank, where academics can develop the questions, reuse them across quizzes and even randomly select questions.
Develop Questions in the Question Bank
Every course has a single question bank that stores all quiz questions in the particular course. All instructors in the course can use the question bank to create, edit, or review questions.
