The basic ideas of quiz-making

+ +

The main concepts you need to understand while creating quizzes and the +questions they contain are:

-

You can think of a quiz, in essence, to be like a -traditional pen&paper quiz (or an exam/test). It contains questions. -You can divide the questions in a quiz on several pages -or you can keep them all on one page. -With Moodle Quiz, you can also give the grading beforehand for the -questions in a quiz (as well as the total for the entire quiz).

-

When you create questions, they are stored in the Question -Bank. In the Question Bank you can create categories, which are similar -to folders. You can use them to create a hierarchy for organizing -questions, for example, by topic. When you create a question into -an exam, a copy of it is stored in the Question Bank. If you decide to -remove your question from an exam, it will still be intact in the -question bank until you delete it from there, too.

-

You can use Random Questions, if you want a question to -vary between different attempts students make at the quiz (for example, -to avoid cheating by means of students copying questions to each other). -Just create a random question in the quiz and add questions in the -category of the random question.

You can think of a quiz as being like +traditional pen-and-paper quiz (or exam or test). It contains questions. +You can arrange the questions in a quiz into several pages +or you can keep them all on one page. As you create the questions, and add them +to the quiz, you also set up the rules for how the questions are graded +(or marked). This is like the mark-scheme for a traditional quiz.

+ +

When you create questions, they are stored in the question +bank. In the question bank you can create categories, +which are similar to folders on your hard disc. You can use them to create a +hierarchy for organising your questions, for example, by topic. Even if you +create and add a question directly into the quiz, it is automatically stored in +the question bank too. If you later remove your question from the quiz, will +remain in the question bank, unless you also go and delete it from there. As you +construct your quiz, you can take any of the questions that are already in the +question bank, and add them to your quiz.

+ +

You can use random questions so that different students get +different questions, or so that one student gets different questions each time +they attempt the quiz. For example, this can reduce cheating by making it harder +for students to copy from each other. When a student starts an attempt at the +quiz, the random question will be replaced by an actual question, picked at +random from a certain category in the question bank.
