Moodle is the leading open source learning management system. Moodle Quiz provides learners with effective ways to interact with course content. It is one of the core modules in Moodle and an impressive tool in achieving the goal of creating interactive, flexible online learning experiences that help learners take control of their educational environment.
Instant Moodle Quiz Module How-to shows you a variety of ways to use the Moodle Quiz tool to enhance your teaching and create meaningful educational experiences for your learners. When we think about creating quizzes, we are often focused on the test that demonstrates learningassessment of learning (summative assessment). The quiz tool can do that, but so much more! As learners proceed through the course, they often want the answer to the question "how am I doing?" With careful design, instructors can use the Moodle Quiz tool to provide assessment for learning (formative assessment), providing feedback to the learners when they need it, independent of the instructor.
For more information on assessment, please visit http://www.crcs.bc.ca/teacherlinks/for-as-of.html.
Moodle Quiz includes a full web page editor that can incorporate text, image, audio, and video files, allowing creativity and flexibility in creating questions.
Many instructors experience frustration on the first attempt to use the Moodle Quiz. After completing the configuration tasks, they discover that there is no content in the quiz. The reason for this is that the quiz tool depends on a well-organized question bank. We will begin this book by first setting up the question bank, and then creating a variety of quizzes from it. Generally, question bank development is best completed along with course development.
We choose questions from our question bank to create a Moodle quiz. The questions we put into the bank remain in place even when we delete a quiz.
Now let's talk about some options we have for using the Moodle Quiz tool:
- Create a quiz to evaluate learners' mastery of a unit or module of material.
- Use a quiz as a self check, with multiple attempts, for small segments of instructions. Allow the learners to access the self check at any time in the instruction. They may choose to use it as a pre-test, progress indicator, or mastery indicator.
- Use quiz in the Adaptive mode that allows the learners to attempt the question until they get it right. This is a good strategy for critical concepts required as a basis for further learning.
