Moodle Quizzes

Moodle quizzes ?

Moodle quizzes have two major components:

The quiz body.

The question bank.

Think of the quiz bodies as a container for various types of questions pulled from the question bank.

The body is what students see when they take the assessment. It also defines how the students interact with the quiz.

The questions in a quiz body can be of any type, chosen manually or at random, and displayed in a set order or a random order.

1

Moodle quizzes

The question bank can contain questions arranged in a manner that makes sense to you.

You can create bank based on chapters, weeks in the semester, important concepts, or any other organizational scheme.

Question bank can be reused in multiple quizzes, shared between classes, and moved between systems.

2

Creating the Quiz Body

When you create the quiz body, you are creating a container for the questions and setting the rules for interacting with the quiz.

To create a quiz body:

1. Click Turn Editing On.

2. Select Quiz from the activity

module in the content section

where you want to place the

link to a quiz.

3


In the Quiz editing page

3. give the quiz a descriptive name.

4. Write an introduction for the quiz. Be sure to include any special instructions for taking the quiz, such as the number of attempts allowed or scoring rules.

4



5. Timing (Open the quiz, Close the quiz, Time Limit, Time delay between first and second attempt, Time delay between later attempts )

5


Open the quiz; Quiz closesChoose opening and closing dates for the quiz.

Time limitDetermine how long students have to complete the quiz. At the end of the allotted time, the quiz is automatically submitted with the current answers.

Time delay between attemptsYou can force a delay between multiple attempts of a quiz in order to prevent students from gaming the system by immediately answering the same questions.

6



6. Display (Questions per page, Shuffle questions, Shuffle within questions )

7


Questions per page This sets the number of questions the students will see at once. If you

have more questions than the number of questions per page, the students will see a navigation button at the bottom of the page where they can view the questions on other pages.

Shuffle questions Set this to Yes to randomly order the quiz questions when they are

displayed to the students.

Shuffle within questions Set this to Yes to randomly order the parts making up individual

multiple-choice or matching questions.

8



7. Attempts (Attempts allowed , Each attempt builds on the last , Adaptive mode )

9


Attempts allowedUse this option to set the number of times a student can take a quiz. You can set it to unlimited times or to a number from 1 to 6.

Each attempt builds on the lastIf you allow multiple attempts, you can choose to let students build theiranswers over time. If you set this to Yes, the student’s responses from the last attempt will be visible the next time she tries to take the quiz.

Adaptive modeIf you choose Yes for this option then the student will be allowed multiple responses to a question even within the same attempt at the quiz. So for example if the student's response is marked as incorrect the student will be allowed to try again immediately. However a penalty will usually be subtracted from the students score for each wrong attempt (the amount of penalty is determined by the penalty factor, set by the next option).10



8. Grades (Grading method , Apply penalties , Decimal digits in grades )

11


Grading methodIf you allow multiple attempts, you can choose which score is recorded. Your choices are highest grade, average grade, first attempt, and last attempt.

Apply penaltiesThis only applies if the quiz is run in adaptive mode.

Decimal digits in gradesUse this to set the number of decimal places in the grade for the quiz.

12



9. Review Options

13


These options control what information users can see when they review a quiz attempt or look at the quiz reports.

Immediately after the attempt means within two minutes of the attempt being finished by the user clicking 'Submit all and finish'.

Later, while the quiz is still open means after this, and before the quiz close date.

After the quiz is closed means after the quiz close date has passed. If the quiz does not have a close date, this state is never reached.

14



10.Security (Show quiz in a "secure" window, Require password , Require network address )

15

Creating the Quiz BodyShow quiz in a secure window

Selecting this option will open the quiz in a new window without the forwardand back buttons, address bar, or other navigational features. This will prevent students from navigating to other sites during the quiz.

Require passwordYou can set a password for the quiz that students will need to enter before they can take the quiz. You can use this to restrict who takes a quiz and when they take it.

Require network addressThis option restricts access to the test to certain IP address ranges. If you want to require students to take a test from a certain lab on campus, set the network address range to cover the networks in the lab. For example, if you want to require access from computers with an IP range of 10.10.10.0 to10.10.10.50, you would enter 10.10.10.0-50. To allow access from all computers in a subnet (say, on the campus), enter the partial address you want to use.

16



11.Common module settings (Group mode, Visible, ID number, Grade category )

17

Creating the Quiz BodyGroup modeThe group mode can be one of three levels:o No groups - there are no sub groups, everyone is part of one big community o Separate groups - each group can only see their own group, others are

invisible o Visible groups - each group works in their own group, but can also see

other groups

VisibleThis determines whether students may view the activity or not.

18



12.Overall feedback

19

Creating the Quiz BodyThe overall feedback is some text that is shown to a student after they have completed an attempt at the quiz. The text that is shown can depend on the grade the student got.

For example, if you enter:Grade boundary: 100%

Feedback: Well doneGrade boundary: 40%Feedback: Please study this week's work again....Grade boundary: 0%

Then students who score between 100% and 40% will see the "Well done" message, and students who score between 39.99% and 0% will see the other message. That is, the grade boundaries define ranges of grades, and each feedback string is displayed to scores within the appropriate range.

20

Creating the Quiz BodyThe grade boundaries can be specified either as a percentage, for example "31.41%", or as a number, for example "7". If your quiz is out of 10 marks, a grade boundary of 7 means 7/10 or better.

13. Click the “Save and return to course” button or “Save and display” button.

21

Creating Questions for a Quiz (Question bank)Upon completion of the creation of the Quiz Body and the press on the Save and display button is automatically move to the Question bank section

22

Creating Questions for a Quiz (Question bank)

On the right, you may select a category (there is one set up called “default for “the course name””). These are ways of organizing your questions.

To add new categories, click on “Categories,” add the new category, and click on “Add category.”.

To “build” a question, select a category (for my examples, I will use “default for “the course name””). The screen will then show any existing questions, and allow you to add new ones.

When you create a question, it is stored in the category you selected. It is then always available to add to any quiz at any time.

23


To create a new question, select the type of question youwant from the pull-down menu.

You have the option of adding a Calculated, Description, Essay, Matching, Embedded Answers (Cloze), Multiple Choice, Short Answer, Numerical, Random Short-Answer Matching or True/False questions.

24


To add a calculated question, select “Calculated” from the pull-down menu. This will take you to the calculated question editing screen:

Calculated

25


Category – this is the category to which the question is assigned.

Shared wild cards – if you have created wild cards (an unknown or unpredictable factor ) for other calculated questions in this category, you can access them here.

Question name – this can be anything you like.

Question text – this is the question itself. The question can support full formatting (bold, italics, etc.) by using the formatting toolbar. You would typically include variables in the question, contained in curly brackets. An example would be “What is {x} times {y}?

Image to display – you can select an image to display from any uploaded files you have in the class.

Calculated (General)

26


Default Question Grade – default number of points assigned to this question.

Penalty factor - You can specify what fraction of the achieved score should be subtracted for each wrong response.

General feedback - Question general feedback is some text that gets shown to the student after they have attempted the question. Unlike feedback, which depends on the question type and what response the student gave, the same general feedback text is shown to all students.You can control when general feedback is shown to students using the " Review Options " check-boxes on the quiz editing form.You can use the general feedback to give students some background to what knowledge the question was testing. Or to give them a link to more information they can use if they did not understand the questions.

Calculated

27


Correct answer formula – this is where you set the formula for the answer. This would use the same variables used in the question. For my example above, this would be {x}*{y}. This will support +, -, *, /, as well as other functions (like sin, cos, etc.).

Grade – This lets you assign the grade the student would get if they used this formula to solve the equation.

Tolerance –As for numerical questions it is possible to allow a margin within which all responses are accepted as correct. The "Tolerance" field is used for this.

Calculated (Answer)

28


Tolerance Type – This sets how the tolerance is calculated. There are three methods for calculating tolerance: - Relative – this sets the tolerance relative to the actual answer, based on using the “Tolerance” number (from above). The tolerance is set bymultiplying the “Tolerance” number by the answer, and then allowing theanswer to be +- the result. For example, if the real answer is 50, and the“Tolerance” number is set to .5, the resulting tolerance would be +- 25 (50 times .5 = 25). So any answer from 25 to 75 would work. When usingRelative tolerance, you will usually set the “Tolerance” number between 0 and 1 (you can use a number larger than 1, but the acceptable answerrange will be larger than the real answer – i.e., a “Tolerance” number of 2 would yield 50 +- 100 = -50 to 150).

Calculated

29


- Nominal – this is the simplest type of tolerance. This simply sets the“Tolerance” number as the tolerance. For example, if the real answer were 50, and the ‘Tolerance” number were set to 7, then a correct number is any in the range 50+-7 = 43 to 57. This type of tolerance can use any “Tolerance” number equally well.

Calculated

30


- Geometric – this sets the tolerance relative to the actual answer, based on using the “Tolerance” number. The upper limit of the acceptable answers is just the same as in the Relative tolerance. If the real answer is 50, and the “Tolerance” number is set to .5, the resulting UPPER limit would be + 25 (50 times .5 = 25). So the upper range would be any number from 50 to 75. To calculate the LOWER range, the system takes the real answer and divides it by (1 plus the “Tolerance” number). In this example, this would be 50 (the real answer), divided by 1.5 (1 plus the “Tolerance” number of .5). This would make the lower range to be 50/1.5 = 33.33. So, in this example, the full range would be any number from 33.33 to 75. Generally, this type of tolerance would use a “Tolerance” number between 0 and 1.

Calculated

31


Correct Answer Shows – this sets how many decimals or significant figures are shown in the answer. If the answer is 33.33 and the decimals is set to 1, then the answer would be 33.3. If the answer is 1234 and the significant figures is set to 2, then the answer is 1200.

Format – this determines whether you are using decimals or significant figures for the correct answer

Feedback – you can include feedback if the student answered using this formula

Calculated

32


Unit (optional) – This is an optional field to add units (like meters, kilograms, etc.). You may also add additional units with the appropriate conversion multiplier.

Calculated

33


When you have set all these fields, click on “Next Page.” This will take you to a screen to set information about the variables. In my example, the screen looks like this:

Calculated

34


Each variable has two options. You can have the question use data that are used only by this question a “private dataset”, or you can have the variables pull data from a common data set a “shared dataset”. Either way, you will add the actual data on the next screen. Set each variable then click on “Next Page” This will take you to this screen:

Calculated

35


The system generates initial values for the variables, with new values appearing when you click the “Update the datasets parameters” button. If you prefer, you can simply type in the value for each variable. These values will replace the wild cards in the question when it appears to the student. You can add multiple datasets, so that each student getstheir own numbers… but are tested on the same formula. (great way to prevent cheating!).When you have variable numbers you want, click on “Add item” This adds the set to the data set, and then you can create more possible values for the variables. You can repeat this process as often as you wish. The actual question will randomly pull data from the data set you just created. When you are done adding data, click on “save changes”.

Calculated

36


To add a description, select “Description” from the pull-down menu.

A description is not actually a question. It allows you to add text to a quiz (such as a story or an article) that you can then ask other questions about.

The description editing screen looks like this:

Description

37


An essay question is a free-response text area where students can enter larger blocks of text in response to your question.

These questions are not scored by the computer, and you will need to grade each answer manually.

To create an essay question:1. Select Essay from the “Create new question” drop-down menu.2. Give the question a descriptive name.3. Enter the question text.

Essay

38


4. Select an image to display if you want to add a picture to the question

5. If you wish, add general feedback and/or specific feedback.

6. Click the “Save changes” button to add the question to the category.

39


Matching questions ask students to match multiple question stems to multiple possible answers.

They are useful for testing students’ understanding of vocabulary and their ability to match examples to concepts.

Matching

40


Setting up a matchingquestion in Moodle is a bit different from setting up other types of questions.

To create a matching question:1. Select Matching from the “Create new question” drop-down menu.2. Give the question a descriptive name.3. Enter the question text to tell the students what they are matching.

Matching

41


4. Select an image to display if you want to add a picture to the question.5. If you wish, add general feedback.6. For the first matching item, enter the question and a matching answer.7. Fill in at least three questions and answers. You can add 3 more sets of Blanks any time you need. You can provide extra wrong answers by giving an answer with a blank question.8. Click the “Save changes” button to add the question to the category.

Matching

42


You then need to fill in at least 3 questions that will be matched to the answers you provide.

The “questions” can be one word to be matched to the answer.

Each matching part is worth an equal amount (if you have four matches, each is worth 25% of the whole question.

Moodle will display the question in two columns. The first will contain the questions.

The second will display a drop-down menu for each question with all possible matching answers as options.

Matching

43


These questions embed the answers into the question.

Cloze has various answers embedded within it, including multiple choice, short answers, and numerical answers

This allows you to have questions that look like this (taken from Moodle help):

Embedded Answers (Cloze)

44


There is currently no graphical interface to create these questions—you need to specify the question format using the text box or by importing it from external files.


45


The Embedded Answers (Cloze) Moodle documentation page describes the syntax required to embed answers.

This question consists of some text with an answer embedded right here

{1:MULTICHOICE:Wrong answer#Feedback for this wrong answer~Another wrong answer#Feedback for the other wrong answer~=Correct answer#Feedback for correct answer~%50%Answer that gives half the credit#Feedback for half credit answer}

and right after that you will have to deal with this short answer {1:SHORTANSWER:Wrong answer#Feedback for this wrong answer~=Correct answer#Feedback for correct answer~%50%Answer that gives half the credit#Feedback for half credit answer}

and finally we have a floating point number {2:NUMERICAL:=23.8:0.1#Feedback for correct answer 23.8~%50%23.8:2#Feedback for half credit answer in the nearby region of the correct answer}.


46


Note that addresses like www.moodle.org and smileys :-) all work as normal: a) How good is this? {:MULTICHOICE:=Yes#Correct~No#We have a different opinion} b) What grade would you give it? {3:NUMERICAL:=3:2}Good luck!


47


To create a Cloze question:1. Select “Embedded answers (Cloze)” from the “Create new question” drop-downmenu.2. Type the question text with embedded answers.3. Continue to add text and embed questions until complete.4. Select an image to display if you want to add a picture to the question.5. Add Penalty factor (You can specify what fraction of the achieved score should be subtracted for each wrong response. This is only relevant if the quiz is run in adaptive mode so that the student is allowed to make repeated responses to the question ).6. If you wish, add general feedback.7. You can click the “Decode and Verify the Question Text” button to decode the cloze question. 8. Click the “Save changes” button to add the question to the category.


48


Moodle provides you with a lot of flexibility when creating this common question type.You can create single- and multiple-answer questions, display pictures in the question, and give relative grading weights to individual answers.

Multiple Choice

52


To create a multiple-choice question:1. Select “Multiple choice” from the “Create new question” drop-down menu.2. On the multiple-choice question-editing page, start by giving the question a descriptive name. You’ll use the name to track your questions later, so “Question 1” isn’t a good idea.3. Create the question text. If you’re using the HTML editor, you can format thequestion just like a word-processing document. 4. Select an image to display if you want to add a picture to the question.5. Set the default question grade.6. If you are intending to run the quiz in adaptive mode, set the penalty factor foreach wrong response. 7. If you wish, add general feedback, i.e., text shown after attempting a questionregardless of response given. General feedback will be displayed only if selected inthe options for students to review the quiz.

Multiple Choice

53


8. Choose whether students can select only one answer or multiple answers.9. Choose whether answers should be shuffled.10. Choose the the choices number.11. Write your first response in the Choice 1 answer field.12. Select a grade percentage for the answer. This is the percentage of the total points possible for the question, selecting a given answer is worth. You can select negative percentages as well as positive percentages. So if a question is worth 10 points, selecting one correct response out of two in a multiple-choice question may give you 50 percent of the possible points (i.e., 5 points). Selecting a wrong answer may take away 10 percent.13. If you wish, you can add feedback for each response. Feedback will be displayed only if selected in the options for students to review the quiz14. Fill in the response choices in the rest of the form. Any unused areas will be ignored.

Multiple Choice

53


15. If you wish, you can add overall feedback for any correct/partially correct/incorrect answer. This is especially useful for multiple-answer questions where it is difficult to control what feedback students receive just using the answer-specific feedback.16. Click the “Save changes” button to add the question to the category.

Multiple Choice

53


Short-answer questions require the student to type an answer to a question.

The answer could be a word or a phrase, but it must match one of your acceptable answers exactly.

It’s a good idea to keep the required answer as short aspossible to avoid missing a correct answer that’s phrased differently.

Short Answer

54


To create a short-answer question:1. Select “Short answer” from the “Create new question” drop-down menu.2. Give your question a descriptive name.3. Create the question text. If you want students to fill in a blank, use the underscore to indicate where the blank is.4. Select an image to display if you want to add a picture to the question.5. If you wish, add general feedback.6. Choose whether capitalization is important. Case-sensitivity can be tricky. Willyou accept “Khartoum” as well as “khartoum” as an answer?7. Fill in the answers you will accept. Give each answer a percentage of the grade if required. You could give common misspellings partial credit with this option.8. Add feedback for each acceptable answer.9. Click the “Save changes” button to add the question to the category.

Short Answer

55


Numerical questions are a lot like short-answer questions for equations.

You can create a question with an equation, and your students type in a numerical answer.

Students will get credit for answers within the range of answers you specify.

Numerical Question

56


To create a numerical question:1. Select Numerical from the “Create new question” drop-down menu.2. Give the question a descriptive name.3. Type the equation or numerical question for your students to solve. Moodle has a couple of text filters, called Algebra and TeX, that allow you to type an equation and have it properly typeset when displayed. You may need to ask your system administrator to enable the filters.4. Select an image to display if you want to add a picture to the question.5. If you wish, add general feedback.6. Enter the correct answer and grade. You may choose to add a number of correct answers with different levels of accuracy and corresponding different levels of credit.

Numerical Question

57


7. Enter the accepted error, i.e., the range above or below the correct answer. For example, if the correct answer is 5, but you will accept 4 or 6 as answers, your accepted error is 1.8. Add feedback for each acceptable answer.9. If you want to accept answers in multiple units (e.g., metric or imperial units),specify the unit multiplier and the unit label in the areas.10. Click the “Save changes” button to add the question to the category.

Numerical Question

57


This is an interesting question type. You take random multiple short-answer questionsand their correct answers and create a matching question out of them. It’s an interesting way to reuse your short-answer questions in a new format.

You must have at least 2 (two) short answer questions in a category for this feature to work.

Random Short-Answer Matching

58


To create a random short-answer matching question:1. Select “Random short-answer matching” from the “Create new question” dropdown menu.2. Give the question a descriptive name.3. Enter the question text to tell the students what they are matching, or use thedefault text.4. If you wish, add general feedback.5. Select the number of questions you want to add to the matching question.6. Click the “Save changes” button to add the question to the category.

Random Short-Answer Matching

59


This is a simple multiple-choice question with only two possible answers.

To add a true/false question, select True/False from the “Create new question” drop-down menu. This will take you to a screen like this:

True/False

60


True/False Category

Multiple Answers:

The Multiple Answers option is used for multiple choice questions when two or more answers must be selected in order to obtain full credit.

The multiple answers option is enabled by assigning partial answer weight to multiple answers, while allowing no single answer to receive full credit.

Note that there is no equal sign (=) in any answer and the answers should total no more than 100%, otherwise Moodle will return an error.

To avoid the problem of students automatically getting 100% by simply checking all of the answers, it is best to include negative answer weights for wrong answers.

OPTIONS

Special Characters ~ = # { }

These symbols ~ = # { } : control the operation of this filter and cannot be used as normal text within questions. Since these symbols have a special role in determining the operation of this filter, they are called "control characters."

But sometimes you may want to use one of these characters, for example to show a mathematical formula in a question.

The way to get around this problem is "escaping" the control characters. This means simply putting a backslash (\) before a control character so the filter will

know that you want to use it as a literal character instead of as a control character. Which answer equals 5? { ~ \= 2 + 2 = \= 2 + 3 ~ \= 2 + 4 }

RegradeThat tab will recalculate the quiz grades. This may become necessary if you havechanged one of the questions or the grade possible for the quiz or a question.

Manual gradingThe grade of any question in a quiz can be manually overridden, and a comment added. A teacher can do this from the results page. There are also some question types that Moodle does not grade automatically (at the moment only the Essay question). This report helps you grade questions of these types by listing just the questions that still need to be graded.

Item analysisThis table presents processed quiz data in a way suitable for analyzing and judging the performance of each question for the function of assessment. The statistical parameters used are calculated as explained by classical test theory. (If you need help interpreting the data, click on the “?” icon on this page).
