• Hints and feedback can be given.

Quizzes may be used• As course exams

• As mini tests for reading assignments or at the end of a topic

• As exam practice using questions from past exams

• To deliver immediate feedback about performance

• For self-assessment

Creating Quizzes

Select Quiz from the choose activity/resource box

Creating Quizzes

Give the quiz a name and a brief introduction and ‘save and display’

‘Add a question’ and select the question type (e.g multiple choice, true or false or matching)

Multiple ChoiceAllows the selection of a single response or multiple responses

Multiple Choice

Give the question a name and enter the question text

Multiple Choice

Enter the choices and give the correct answer 100%

Matching

The answer to each of a number of sub-question must be selected from a list of possibilities

Could be used with a labelled image (A, B, C, D etc) or matching terms to definitions

Matching

Give the question a name and enter the question text/image

Matching

Type the question with the correct answer

This will create a question in which students match the correct answers to the letters

Question Settings – Feedback

Combined feedback allows you to give general feedback for incorrect/correct answers

Question Feedback – Question Feedback

Question specific feedback allows you to explain to students why they got something wrong to reinforce understanding

Quiz Settings - Timing

You can specify times when the quiz is accessible and when the quiz closes

By default, quizzes do not have a time limit but you can set a time. A countdown timer will be shown when students are taking the quiz

Select from one of the three options what will happen when the time limit is up

Quiz Settings - Grade

You can set how many attempts a students can take the quiz

When multiple attempts are allowed, there are different options to set the final grade

Quiz Settings - Layout

If ‘shuffled randomly’ is selected it makes it harder for students to copy from each other

For longer quizzes it makes sense to stretch the quiz over several pages by limiting the number of questions per page. This also prevents the quiz from timing out

Quiz Settings – Question Behaviour Students can interact with the questions in the quiz in various ways.

You may wish the students to enter an answer to each question and then submit the quiz, before anything is graded or they get any feedback. This would be the ‘Deferred feedback mode’

You may wish for students to submit each question as they go along to get immediate feedback and if they do not get it right, have another go for fewer marks which would be ‘interactive with multiple tries’ mode

Quiz Settings – Review Options

This section controls what information will be shown when they review their past attempts at the quiz or during the quiz

Quiz Settings – Overall feedback

Overall feedback is shown to a student after they have completed an attempt at the quiz. The text that is given can depend in the grade the student got.

For exampleGrade boundary: 75%Feedback: “A very good result – remember why you got some wrong!”Grade boundary: 50%Feedback: “read through your notes and find out/ask a tutor about topics you’re not sure about”

Quiz Settings – Common module settings

You can select whether the quiz should be organised into groups

If you are in the process of creating a quiz it is a good idea to ‘hide’ the quiz and ‘show’ the quiz when it is ready to be attempted

Quiz Settings – Restrict Access

Access from/to dates determines when students can access the activity

This setting determines any grade conditions which must be met in order to access the activity
