Quizzes
The Quiz is one of the most advanced modules in Moodle. Depending
on the administrative settings, a quiz may be an interactive exercise
in which you can, for example, check gradually which answers are
correct, or it can be a test with a countdown timer and a limited number
of attempts. Moodle can also randomly draw questions so that students taking the same quiz are given different questions.
(1/4) Quiz dates, if specified, are displayed on the Timeline, in the Calendar,
and in relevant course information blocks. The information is also
displayed in the mobile application. To start a quiz, go to Quizzes in the side menu and click on the link with the name of the quiz.
(2/4) After opening the quiz, you may see instructions with information
about the available dates and number of attempts. Click on the Attempt quiz now
button (visible if the quiz is available) to begin the quiz. For
quizzes with a time limit you will be asked once again to confirm that
you are ready to start.
(3/4) The following types of closed-ended questions may appear in a quiz:
- Multiple choice,
- All-or-nothing multiple choice,
- Matching,
- True/False,
- Numerical,
- Calculated,
- Drag and Drop,
and the following open-ended questions:
All question types that might appear in Moodle Quizzes can be viewed on the page
Moodle Help for Students. The questions may be displayed on one or more pages, in controlled or
random order. If the questions are displayed on separate pages, their
status (completed / not completed, etc.) will be displayed on the icons
with question numbers after you go to the next page. The teacher can
also set the quiz so that it is only possible to move to the next
question without the option to go back.
After answering all the questions, click the Finish attempt button.
(4/4) You should then see the status of all your answers. If necessary, you may click Return to attempt (e.g. to go back to questions you skipped) or Submit all and finish (in this attempt).
