Create a drag and drop into text question

Steps

1. Open the quiz and either:
• Edit the quiz, click on an Add link on the right side of the page, and select + a new question.
• Open the question bank and click on the Create a new question button
  
  
2. Select Drag and drop into text and click Add
   
   
3. Supply your question with a Question name (required field) and Question text (required field):  
   In your question text, leaves 'gaps' indicated by two sets of square brackets with a number inside.  This number will indicate the correct choice for that gap
   
   
   
4. Provide the question a default mark and enter any general feedback (shown to the student after they have completed the question)  
   
   
   
5. Enter Choices:
   Decide whether to shuffle the choices (tick the box or leave unticked).  Shuffling is recommended to prevent student's from surmising the correct answer based on choice order.
   
   The choice with the same number as the numbered text gap is the correct answer for that gap:
   
   
   
6. To add additional 'incorrect' drag and drop answers, add additional choices that do not correspond to a numbered text gap. (in this example there is no text gap labelled [[4]], thus 'green' will be an additional option that is not the correct answer to any question)
   
   
   
7. If using multiple choices for each question, it may be useful to Group the choices.  
   Each group will be represented by a different colour, which will apply to both the relevant gap(s) in the text and to the choices for that group. 
   
   
   
   
   Avoid using groups in simple questions with only as many choices as correct answers.  In this scenario the use of groups will give away the answers.
   
   
   
8. You can preview the question to check that it works correctly before clicking the Save changes button: 
   
   
   
9. Click Save changes (you can now preview the question by choosing it in the question bank list and clicking the preview icon
    

Create a drag and drop onto image question

For this question type, you will need to have an image to drag and drop text/images onto. If you source an image from the internet, but be careful about copyright/usage (eg use Creative Commons and check the licensing).

Steps

1. Open the quiz and either:
   • Edit the quiz, click on an Add link on the right side of the page, and select + a new question.
   • Open the question bank and click on the Create a new question button
     
     
2. Select Drag and drop onto image and click Add
   
   
3. Give the question a Category, a Question name (required field) and enter Question text (required field)
   



4. Decide on the default mark for the question (required field)
   
   
   
5. Fill in General feedback (students will see this once they have answered the question). You could include the correctly labelled image in this box. Students can then see if/where they made an error. This box is seen by all students regardless of whether their response was correct or incorrect
   
6. Select a Background image file and drag and drop it into the box provided, or Choose a file... by searching on your computer (the image should not be larger than 600 pixels width so you may have to resize it). If you are searching the web (eg Google images), for an image be careful about copyright and usage
   
   
   
7. Under Draggable items (scroll down), for the Type choose either Draggable image or Draggable text (most likely you will use text). Upload an image, or type text into the textbox that you want dragged to an area of the background image you have uploaded. Choose a Group to give each image or text item (eg 1, 2, 3...). Do this for as many items as are relevant.
   You can also tick the box Shuffle drag items each time question is attempted.
   If you tick the Infinite box, this means choices may be used in multiple locations. 
   Note: within draggable text items, limited formatting of text is possible using <sub> (subscript), <sup> (superscript), <b> or <strong> (bold), <i> or <em> (italics) and <br/> (line break)
   
   
    If Draggable image is selected:
   
   
    If Draggable text is selected:
   
   
   
8. In the Drop zones section (scroll up), for Drop zone 1, choose the Draggable item from the pull-down menu (this will be whatever you have entered in the Draggable items section). These items should now appear below the background image you placed in the question.
   
9. Drag the images/text onto the background image – this will populate the drop zone boxes in the Drop zones section with coordinates
   
   
   
10. Click Save changes (if you miss one of the steps, you will stay in the editing screen and a red highlight will tell you what you have missed)  
    
    
11. In the Question bank screen, the new question should be highlighted. Click on the magnifying glass icon  to the right of the question name to preview the question. Click on the cog icon to edit the question
    
    

Steps

1. Open the quiz and either:
   • Edit the quiz, click on an Add link on the right side of the page, and select + a new question.
   • Open the question bank and click on the Create a new question button)
     
     
2. Choose Select missing words and click Add
   
   
3. Give the question a category
   
   
4. Give the question a name (required field) (this is only seen by teachers – make it something meaningful so when you view the questions in a list, you know what they are about) 
   
   
5. Enter some question text. Where you would like the student to choose the missing word, enter a number on double square brackets, for example [[1]]. Number each gap sequentially starting at [[1]] – that is, [[1]], [[2]], [[3]] etc (required field)
   
   
   
6. Give the question a default mark (required field)
   
   
   
7. Fill in the choices. Choice 1 is the correct answer for the gap indicated by [[1]], choice 2 is the correct answer for the gap indicated by [[2]], and so on. 
   
   
   Choices with the same value for Group appear in the same drop-down lists (Shuffle)
   
   
   
8. Fill in General feedback for the quiz question
   
   
9. Click Save changes

Steps

1. Open the quiz and either:
   • Edit the quiz, click on an Add link on the right side of the page, and select + a new question.
   • Open the question bank and click on the Create a new question button
     
     
2. Select Multiple choice and click Add   
   
   
3. Give the question a category
   
   
4. Give the question a name (this will only be shown to teachers) (required field)
   
   
5. Fill in question text (required field)
   
   
6. Give the question a default mark (required field)
   
   
   
7. Enter some general question feedback
   
8. Choose whether the question has one answer only or multiple correct answers. 'One answer only' means users will only be able to select one box; 'Multiple answers allowed' means users will be able to select more than one box (if there is a specific number of correct answers, you may want to say this in the stem/lead-in sentence: 'Please select two of the following.')
   
   
   
9. Select whether you want to shuffle the question answers
   
   
   
10. Under Answers, fill in the choices
    
    If you selected multiple correct answers for the MCQ (see step 8 above), you are advised to give wrong answers negative scores, to discourage students from selecting all options (you should say that they will be penalised for wrong answers in the question stem)
    
    
    
11. For the correct answer, change Grade to be 100%. If there are multiple correct answers (see step 8 where you would need to have selected 'Multiple answers allowed'), allocate the 100% across all correct options; for example, if there are 2 correct responses allocate them 50% each. (Note: they do not need to have equal weightings)
    
         Assign to an incorrect answer  
    
         Assign to a correct answer in a question with one correct answer  
    
         Assign to a correct answer in a question with multiple correct answers

Tips for creating MCQs

Bloom's level/s of taxonomy, what the item is testing (descriptor), and distracter plausibility:

Question tips

• Use a consistent style
• Use clear and concise wording (can be complex but not complicated)
• Make the question 'stem' either a direct question or an incomplete statement 
• Avoid double negatives

You may want to use a 'stimulus' prior to the question – this could include introductory text/context, an image etc.

Answer tips

• Make the key (right answer) and distracters (wrong answers) approximately the same length, and use similar wording to avoid obvious standouts
• Keep answers consistent in grammar and logical to the stem (question)
• 3, 4 or 5 options per answer? There is no set preference, but the more options the harder it is to think up a plausible 'distracter'
• Avoid using 'none of the above' or 'all of the above' (especially if answers are shuffled!)
• Use a logical pattern but don't always put the correct answer in the same position
• Provide good feedback for all options (where relevant)
• Where possible, ensure that wrong answers represent a common misconception

Open response items

• Provide information to markers on full credit, partial credit and no credit
• If not marking for grades, provide good feedback on likely responses

Steps

To set up this question type, you need to generate cloze text. This means that where an answer is required, you will need to generate bracketed instructions so the answer can be marked automatically, and feedback generated. For example:

This can be a complex process if you are not familiar with it, and it is easy to make a mistake. You could try the Moodle Cloze editor (external resource) which can generate cloze from your text. Once generated, you can copy and paste it into the Question text area in this question.

1. Open the quiz and either:
1. Edit the quiz, click on an Add link on the right side of the page, and select + a new question.
2. Open the question bank and click on the Create a new question button
   
   
2. Select Embedded answers (Cloze) and click Add   
   
   
3. Give the question a Category and Question name (required field)
   
   
   
4. Enter question text (this will include Cloze text – see note above) (required field)
   
   
   
5. Fill in General feedback (students will see this once they have answered the question)
   
   
   
6. Give a penalty and hint for each incorrect try

Create in the question bank or in the quiz

NOTE: Before creating questions, you should set up categories in the question bank. Then use one of the two methods below to create questions in those question banks.

1. Create from within the question bank

2. Create from within the quiz

1. Open your quiz
   
2. Click on the cog in the top right corner and select Edit quiz
   
   
   
3. Click on one of the Add links on right side of the page, then select a new question
   
   
4. Enter the details of your question, making sure you choose an appropriate question bank category* for your question

6. Click on Edit to the right of your question and select Preview from the dropdown list to test if it is working as expected
    
   
   

   *Note: We strongly recommend that you do not use the category "default for your quiz name" as this category is segregated from the question bank. Questions in that category can't be used in other quizzes and can't be viewed with the main question bank. Storing questions in this segregated category can lead to confusion.

Create a new question (from question types)

Choose a question type and follow the instructions for creating under a category:

• Quiz - create an all-or-nothing multiple choice question
  
• Create a drag and drop question (into text or onto an image)
  
• Create an embedded answers (Cloze) question
• Create an essay question
  
• Create a fill-in-the-blanks question (select missing words)
• Create a matching question (pair two words together)
  
• Create a multiple choice question (MCQ)
• Create a numerical question (numerical answers)
  
• Create a short answer question
  
• Create a true/false question

Import/export questions

You could also import questions from a file, or export questions to a file – talk to your eLearning support team.

Provide question/quiz feedback

• Provide quiz feedback at quiz and question level

Duplicate (copy) a question

1. Open the question bank you want to duplicate a question in
   
   
2. Find the question you want to duplicate

Quiz settings

General

Give the quiz a Name and Description

Timing

Under Timing, you can choose to give the quiz Open and Close dates. Tick the Enable box to the right of the date you wish to enter, then enter the date.

Timeline block: The 'Close the quiz' date will show to students in the Timeline block.

Depending on the purpose of your quiz, you may want to change the default settings (see below). You can also click the question markprompt next to some options to find out more about a setting.

You can make the quiz available at different times for different groups or users in the Group overrides or User overrides sections via the Actions menu.

• Before the opening time, the quiz will be unavailable to students – they will be able to view the quiz introduction but not the questions. Quizzes with start times in the future display both the open and close date to students.

• After the closing time, students will:
  • not be able to start new attempts and any open attempts will be automatically submitted.
  • still be able to see the quiz description and review their attempts. What they see will depend on the settings you choose for Review options (ticked boxes in the 'After the quiz has closed' column).

Time limit

If enabled, the time limit is stated on the initial quiz page and a countdown timer is displayed in the quiz navigation block (see image to the right). Once the timer runs out, the quiz is submitted automatically. If the quiz close time is reached before the time runs out, the quiz will be automatically submitted (ie student does not get full time). You can make the quiz timing different for different groups or users in the  Group overrides or User overrides sections via the Actions menu.

Grade

Grade category

If you have categories in your gradebook (eg for a quiz set), select the category you wish the quiz to be in here.

Attempts allowed 

Unlimited (default), 1-10

Your choice here depends on what and how you are testing (ie the purpose of your quiz):

• If a diagnostic test, then probably choose 1; if a formative test, then maybe more often as the student is in the learning process.
• If the quiz is shuffled (see Layout) or has random questions (see quiz - add questions), then the student will get a new version for each attempt, useful for practice purposes.

You can change the allowed number of attempts for different groups or users in the Group overrides or User overrides sections of the Administration > Quiz administration settings block.

Grading method

Highest grade (default), Average grade, First attempt, Last attempt

This setting only applies if more than 1 attempt is allowed. If each question builds on the last, you might set it at Last attempt, as you want to see that students are gaining knowledge/understanding progressively.

Layout

• Question order: Shuffled randomly – if selected, the order of questions in the quiz will be randomly shuffled each time a student starts a new attempt at the quiz. 

• New page: You may want to group questions on a particular topic together, but not too many on one page as this will require students to scroll.  It is recommended that you do not use the setting 'never, all questions on one page', as student activity within the quiz will be less frequently logged and less information will be captured regarding the attempt.

• Navigation method: leave as Free (default) unless the quiz is building knowledge (last question relates to next question etc).

Question behaviour

• Shuffle within questions: if Yes (default), the option must also be enabled in question settings (when you create a new question).

• How questions behave: Deferred feedback (default) – students answer each question and submit the entire quiz, before anything is graded or they get any feedback.
  

Note: CBM stands for 'certainty-based marking' – if you choose this option, students will need to say how sure they are that the answer is right and will be penalised accordingly. More information about CBM (MoodleDocs)

• Show more… > Each attempt builds on the last: if multiple attempts are allowed and you set this to Yes, then each new attempt contains the results of the previous attempt, so students can concentrate on just those questions they answered incorrectly last time. If you choose this option, each attempt by a particular student uses the same questions in the same order, independent of randomisation settings. To show a fresh quiz on every attempt, select 'No' for this setting.

Review options

Tick the options you would like to choose from the table. Default settings are After the quiz is closed (if a closing date for the quiz has been set).

Appearance

• Decimal places in grades: Default is 2. This option determines how many digits will be shown after the decimal point when the grade is displayed. A setting of 0 for example will display grades as integers (whole numbers). 

• Show blocks during quiz attempts: Default is No – this is about usability (better display, no distractions).

Extra restrictions on attempts

These settings may be useful if you are using a FLO quiz as a final exam.

• Require password: If you specify a password then participants must enter the same password before they can attempt on the quiz. 

• Require network address: You can restrict access for a quiz to particular subnets on the LAN or internet by specifying a comma-separated list of partial or full IP address numbers (eg 192.168. , 231.54.211.0/20, 231.3.56.211). This is especially useful for an invigilated quiz/exam, where you want to be sure that only people in a certain room are able to access the quiz. 

• Enforced delay between attempts: You can set a time (from seconds to weeks) between the first and second attempt on a quiz. You can also (or alternatively) set a time from seconds to weeks for subsequent attempts after the second attempt (eg you might allow a student to take the quiz twice immediately with no delay, but if they want to improve their score with a third attempt, they are forced to wait a week and use the time for extra revision).

• Show more… > Browser security: the options in this section offer various ways to try to restrict how students may try to 'cheat' while attempting a quiz.  

Overall feedback

Overall feedback is feedback shown to a student after they have completed an attempt at the quiz. You can set the grade boundary (eg 100%, 65%, 50%) and apply appropriate feedback according to the range the student falls within (eg if a student gets below 65% they are referred to more information). This is a useful feature in a formative quiz where students are informing themselves/the teacher what they know/understand.

Common module settings

These settings are only relevant if you have groups and groupings set up in your FLO site. 

• Group mode: you can choose whether the quiz should be organised by group.
  Note: This only affects the results screen and allows you to filter results based on group enrolment.

Restrict access

None (default), Activity completion, Date, Grade, User profile, Restriction set

For example, you might have a series of quizzes and they need to do one before another – this would be the activity completion option but you would first need to enable completion tracking in the topic settings and quiz activities.

Activity completion

Apply these settings if you have enabled completion tracking for the topic and this activity.

The essay question in quiz requires manual grading (marking).

Steps

1. Open the quiz and either:
• Edit the quiz, click on an Add link on the right side of the page, and select + a new question.
• Open the question bank and click on the Create a new question button
  
  
2. Select Essay and click Add
       
   
3. Give the question a name (this is seen by teachers only) and fill in the Question text. You will probably want to change the Default mark to a number higher than 1
   
   
   
4. Provide general question feedback
   
   
   
5. Set the student's Response options:
   
   
   1. If the response requires that students enter text, you can set up a minimum/maximum number of words that each student will be allowed to submit.
      
      
   2. If you want students to upload a file, select Allow attachments and choose a number from the drop-down menu (Note: if students are required to write a long essay as part of a quiz, we strongly recommend they write it in Word and either upload the file or copy and paste into the response box).
      
      
   3. You can also list specific file types (e.g. docx, pdf, etc.) if you want to restrict what types of files students can submit.
      
      
   4. You can also set a maximum file size limit for the attachments.
      
      
      
6. Click Save changes

This question type can be tricky if there is more than a one-word answer (which may have spelling problems!), or variations on the answer. You can avoid this problem by:

• using wildcards (*) – see information below Steps
  
• putting in the question stem (Question text) a proviso such as 'Please separate words with a comma' (if a two-word answer) or other similar guidance
• anticipating the variations and adding those to the answers with 100% as the correct grade for each variation

It would be a good idea to test this question on several users before you try it with students in the real situation, especially if it is assessed.

You can manually mark a short-answer question to avoid these problems.

Steps

1. Open the quiz and either:
• Edit the quiz, click on an Add link on the right side of the page, and select + a new question.
• Open the question bank and click on the Create a new question button
  
  
2. Select Short answer and click Add   
   
   
3. Give the question a Category
   
   
4. Give the question a Category Name (required field)
   
   
5. Enter question text (required field)
   
   
6. Decide on the default mark for the question (required field)
   
   
   
7. Fill in General feedback (students will see this once they have answered the question)
   
   
   
8. Select the correct answer and grade
   
   
   
9. Provide feedback for the answer (whether right or wrong)
   
   
   
10. Click Save changes

You can use the asterisk character (*) as a wildcard to match any series of characters. For example, use:

ran*ing

If you really do want to match an asterisk then use a backslash like this: 

\*

fuel*oxygen

Example

Here are some answers and scores for a question "What does a rocket burn?"

1. oxygen*fuel

    with a score 100% 
   

2. *fuel*

    with a score 50%
   

3. *oxygen*

    with a score 50%
   

4. *air*

    with a score 40% 
   

5. * 

    with a score of 0%
   

The order of the answers is important. The answers are evaluated from 1st to last. When a match is found the process stops. If no match is found, the question is scored wrong and the general response is used. It is a good practice to put a wildcard as the last answer so the evaluation process knows what to do when nothing above it matches.

If any answer is the right answer (eg a non-graded open-ended quiz), you could have as the only answer * (worth 100%). This means all answers are acceptable. Make the question worth 0, and if you make the quiz non-graded (i.e. worth 0) it will not appear in the Gradebook.

• Before the quiz opens (edit question/s)
  
• After the quiz opens: 
• Edit the quiz question/s 
• Regrade the quiz (with/without random questions)
  

Before the quiz opens

This action relates to the 'Plan' step for Quiz. If, before a quiz opens, you discover that a question requires editing or correction, it can be easily edited. 

1. Click the Topic Management button (cog icon) on the main menu, then the Question bank link
   
   
   



2. Use the Select a category drop-down list and select the category that contains the question
   
   
   
3. The questions contained in the category will appear. Locate the relevant question, then select Edit question from the Edit drop-down menu. After making the required changes, click Save changes.
   
   

If you discover the error after student access has commenced, it is possible to regrade your quiz. When a quiz question is altered, all instances of that question will be altered (ie if the question is used in another quiz it will also be altered). Students will not be notified of the changes made.

After the quiz opens 

There are two steps to this process – edit the quiz question/s and regrade the quiz.

Step 1. Edit the quiz question/s

Edit a quiz question for all students

1. Click on quiz link      
   
   
2. Click the Edit quiz link in the Actions menu       
   
   
   
3. Click on the cog to edit the question
   
   
   
4. Make changes, click Save changes
   

Edit a quiz question for selected students

1. Click on the quiz link
   
   
2. Click the Actions menu cog and choose Grades under the Results link
   
   
   
3. Choose the student and question in the Grades screen (scroll down) and click on the mark link (in the example below, it is 0.25)
   
   
   
4. In the next screen, scroll down and click on the Make comment or override mark link
   
   
   
5. Add a comment or change the mark
   
   
   
6. Click Save
   

2. Regrade the quiz

Quiz with no random questions

If you change the mark for a question to 0, you don't need to regrade. 

If you adjust an answer (eg in an MCQ), you will need to regrade. You cannot change the question type (eg in an MCQ, you will need to leave it at one answer only, and make two answers correct, both worth 100%, rather than change the MCQ to multiple answers allowed).

1. Click on the quiz
   
   
2. Click Attempts at the bottom of the screen
   
   
3. Next to Show only attempts tick the box 'that have been regraded/are marked as needed regrading'
   
   
   
   
4. Click Dry run a full regrade (to see the outcome before you actually regrade – it is not a required step)
   
   
   
   
5. Click on the Continue button once the 'Regrade completed successfully' screen has appeared
   
   
   
6. Once completed, the attempts that need regrading will appear in the regrade column with 'Needed' appearing
   
   
   
7. Click on the 'Regrade attempts marked as needed regrading' button
   
   
   
8. Click 'Continue' button once Regrade completed successfully appears
   
   
9. To complete the process click Regrade all
   
   
   
10. Click Continue button once 'Regrade completed successfully' appears. You will now notice that the regrade column disappears, indicating that your quiz has been regraded 
    

Quiz with random questions

If you need to remark one question you will need to identify which students were given the question, as that particular question could have occurred in any order (eg question 1 for some students but question 4 for others).

Example: If you have a randomised quiz of 20 questions, the problem question could be given in any of the 20 possible positions within the quiz.

1. In the quiz, click the Actions menu cog and choose Manual grading under the Results link
   
   
2. Click the Also show questions that have been graded automatically link
   
   
3. Locate the problem question for each of the possible question slots and edit however many results there are by clicking on update grades in the Automatically graded column. (The random question has a round symbol next to the question name. ) In the case below, you will need to edit 2 attempts on this question
   
   
   
4. Once you have edited the question and saved the edits, you will see that this question is no longer automatically graded – you have manually regraded the question
   

This entry relates to the Quiz activity.

You can import quiz questions into the question bank from a text editor (eg Microsoft Word). The instructions below relate to multiple-choice questions (MCQs) in text format only (ie no images etc).

If you need help, contact your local eLearning support team.

Steps

In a text editor

1. Create your MCQs in a text editor such as Word, using this template (Aiken format). Choose the format for your questions (Option 1 or Option 2) and follow the instructions

2. Save your MCQ file as a .txt file and save in a UTF-8 format
   

   
   

In your FLO topic

    3. Create a category in the question bank for your questions (if you don't already have one) – this is where your imported questions will be located

    4. From anywhere in the topic, go to the Topic management panel > Topic settings > Import

        If you are inside the quiz, you can also use the cog icon in the top-right corner of the page and select import

5. In the 'Import questions from a file' screen, select Aiken format for the File format (suitable for these question types/file type) 

 

7. Under Import questions from file, either Choose a file... or drag and drop in the box, and click Import 
 

8. The next screen will show you the questions you have imported. Click Continue  

9. The next screen will show you the question bank category you have put your imported questions into. Check that your questions are there (you can also move them to another category if you want) 

The Quiz activity enables a teacher to create out-of-class quizzes comprising questions of various types, including multiple-choice, matching, short-answer and numerical. See Active quiz if you wish to use a quiz in a face-to-face lecture/tutorial (ie in class), with a classroom of computers/tablets/phones (devices). 

• Is a quiz the right tool for what you want to do? Find out about other options

1. Plan your quiz

The better your planning, the less likely you are to run into a problem once students start doing the quiz. Therefore, it is advised that you have a process for creating your quiz. Your college may have policies or guidelines around quizzes. Whether you are starting from scratch or revising a current quiz, these concepts, planning questions and tips that may help:

• What is your quiz's purpose? The answer will determine the settings you choose when you create the quiz. 
• Quiz – purpose and settings – what are you wanting students to do?
• What principle/knowledge are you testing – does the quiz item test it? 
• Line up quiz questions against the learning outcomes (you could include this information in the quiz question)
• Connect the questions with Bloom's level/s of taxonomy (Wikipedia) – again, what is being tested? 
• Be creative – you could use scenarios, embed videos/other resources, provide learning pathways (eg hints, tips, more information, think again) 

Follow the links below to start the process.

• Add a category to the question bank – it is good practice to set up a question bank and category/ies before you create the quiz
• Create a new question (question types) 
• What question types are suitable?
• What category will the question sit under?
• Import/export questions – do you need to?
• Import questions (multiple choice in a text file)
• Provide quiz feedback at quiz and question level – the level of feedback will depend on your quiz's purpose

2. Build your quiz

You have planned your quiz – its purpose (which determines quiz settings), the category/ies and questions, the feedback you will provide. Now you are ready to set up the quiz.

1. Create a quiz
2. Add questions to a quiz (edit quiz) – including random questions
3. Edit quiz questions (and regrade quiz) 
4. Calculate a topic total including the best X from Y grades – if you have multiple (eg weekly/two weekly) quizzes in a topic and want to count the best 8 out of 10 (for example)

3. Test your quiz

You've created your quiz and added questions. If you are confident the quiz is ready, it is a good idea to preview it to see if it works before making it available to students. When you preview the quiz, you will experience it as a student.

• Quiz - review and test your quiz

4. Administer your quiz

While the quiz is open, you can view how students are progressing (submitted or not, how many attempts so far etc). Once the quiz has closed, you can finalise the grades.

• Change settings for a group or user (override/extension) (dates, timing and number of allowed attempts, extension)
• Manually mark essay (or other) questions in a quiz
• View results and reports (grades, responses, statistics, manual grading)
• Edit quiz questions (and regrade quiz) 

5. Review your quiz

Reviewing your quiz (question validity, student experience and learning outcomes, alignment with topic learning outcomes) entails collecting data, analysing the data, and acting on it. Your data may also include student feedback – verbally and electronically. This step feeds into future quiz planning (step 1).

• View results and reports (grades, responses, statistics, manual grading)
• Learning analytics and FLO
• Is quiz the right tool for what you want to do? Find out about other options

This entry relates to the Quiz activity.

Providing feedback is an excellent way to increase student engagement when they attempt and review a quiz. Feedback can be customised to address particular student responses to a question, the question more generally, or the total score achieved by the student. It can be delivered during the quiz, after the attempt but before the quiz has closed, or after the quiz has closed. The amount and quality of feedback you provide will depend on the quiz's purpose.  

• Inclusion and release of feedback can increase the complexity required in quiz set-up. For help, please contact your local eLearning support team.

• Release of feedback to students is controlled by the quiz Review settings in conjunction with the Question Behavior setting. Please see 'I can't unhide the Grade column for a quiz' (Quiz - troubleshooting entry) for further information.
  
  

The three types of feedback – specific, general and overall

• Specific feedback is feedback specific to, and dependent upon, the response the student gave to a question. It is response-specific.
  Specific feedback is set up at the question level – when creating the question or later by clicking the edit cog   beside the question

Student view:

• General feedback is feedback shown to the student after they have completed the question. The same feedback is shown for all students, regardless of the response they gave. You can use the general feedback to give students a fully worked answer and perhaps a link to more information they can use if they did not understand the question.
  General Feedback is set up at the question level – when creating the question or later by clicking the edit cog     beside the question
  
  
  
  Student view:
  
  
  
• Overall feedback is the text that is shown after a quiz has been attempted. By specifying additional grade boundaries (as a percentage or as a number), the text shown can depend on the grade obtained
  Overall Feedback is set up in the quiz's settings

• Formative quiz (graded or non-graded)
  
• Summative quiz (graded)
  
• Short text response quiz (graded)

Self/skills assessment quiz (non-graded)

Where there is no right or wrong answer 

The quiz is not assessed. You and your students could use it as a learning tool to assess their knowledge and/or skills, or identify gaps. Students could also 'self-assess' and/or determine their self-efficacy or self-confidence. Feedback on their question answers could personalise support through linking to resources University-wide or providing resources specific to the topic. View the quiz example set up for this purpose.

Quiz settings 

Actions menu > Edit settings

• Grade to pass: 0.00
  
• Attempts allowed: Unlimited/1 (depending on purpose)
  
• How questions behave: Deferred feedback
  
• Review options: The attempt 
  

Edit quiz 

Actions menu > Edit quiz

• Maximum grade: 0.00 (‘Editing quiz’ screen)

Gradebook

Topic Management > Topic Settings > Gradebook setup

Check the gradebook. To make a quiz item worth 0 in the gradebook, change the weighted mean of grades to 0 for that item (Gradebook setup > Setup > Weights), if required.

Practice quiz (non-graded)

Where there are right and wrong answers 

The purpose of the quiz is other than to grade. You might use it as a learning tool to give students a way to test their knowledge as the weeks progress. Providing feedback that they can action or understand at a deeper level will be helpful. It is also a teaching tool to see how students are going, whether there is a gap in understanding for one/many, whether a deeper level of engagement is required (e.g. more resources, more class time).

Quiz settings

Actions menu > Edit settings

• Grade to pass: X.00 (choose any number between 0 and 10) – if using activity completion and/or restrict access, otherwise leave blank
  
• Attempts allowed: Unlimited/1... (depending on purpose)
  
• How questions behave: Deferred feedback; interactive with multiple tries...
  
• Review options: The attempt; Whether correct, Specific feedback, General feedback, Overall feedback (suggestions only) 
  

Edit quiz

Actions menu > Edit quiz

Question settings

• Question is worth 1 (default mark) or whatever you think it is worth
• MCQ: With 1 correct answer (one answer only option), this answer must be worth 100%; with multiple correct answers (multiple answers allowed option), they must add up to 100% (e.g. if there are 2 correct answers, each would be worth 50%). See Create a multiple choice question (MCQ) for more details.

Gradebook

Topic Management > Topic Settings > Gradebook setup

Check the gradebook. To make a quiz item worth 0 in the gradebook, change the weighted mean of grades to 0 for that item (Gradebook setup > Setup > Weights).

Formative quiz (graded or non-graded)

Where students are given the opportunity to extend their knowledge/understanding through feedback and prompts

The purpose of the quiz may be to grade/not grade. If you do not intend to grade the quiz, refer to the settings for non-graded quizzes above.

Interactive with multiple tries

You can use the 'Interactive with multiple tries' settings to give students a rich experience with learning pathways – they can choose to extend their learning or correct their learning in an informed way, through feedback that provides links to resources or embeds resources such as videos or images. Hints are provided with this setting to enable students to try again (if more than one try is enabled). Rich feedback deters students from guessing. If grading this quiz, you can set a penalty for requiring a hint, if set to multiple tries.

Quiz settings

• Attempts allowed: Unlimited (if you want to restrict the number of attempts, the number of hints is one less than the number of attempts) 
  
• How questions behave: Interactive with multiple tries
  
• Review options: During the attempt; Immediately after the attempt; Later, while the quiz is still open

User experience

If the quiz setting for Question behaviour > How questions behave is 'Interactive with multiple tries', the student can see a Check button once they have answered a question. They can reattempt the question by clicking 'Try again' and selecting another answer. You can provide both Specific feedback (answer choice) and General feedback (on the question as a whole) to help the student.

When the student finishes the quiz, they get a prompt to 'Return to attempt' or 'Submit all and finish'.

When the student finishes the quiz, they can also click on a 'Review' link (depending on the boxes ticked under Quiz settings > Review options) and see their answers to one/more attempts. They then get the option to 'Submit all and finish'.

Once they 'Submit all and finish', they receive the Overall feedback (quiz settings) if any is provided.

They can go back in later and review their quiz responses (Quiz settings > Review options). This is handy if they want to remember something about their responses but do not want to do the quiz again (they may not have this option anyway).

Summative quiz (graded)

Where students are tested on their knowledge/understanding for grading purposes

A summative quiz is likely to test a body of work so could be set to occur near the end of the topic, or at the end of a module. It will be listed in the Statement of Assessment Methods as a grade item valued at a percentage of the final grade. Because it is testing the student, they have less options when they do the quiz. They may receive feedback for each question, but are unlikely to be able to do the question again. Overall feedback for the attempt is a key area to support the student's learning. 

Deferred feedback

With this setting, students must enter an answer to each question and then submit the entire quiz, before anything is graded or they get any feedback. While all review options are editable, you would not choose the Review option 'Later, while the quiz is still open' for a graded quiz.

Quiz settings

• Attempts allowed: 1 
  
• How questions behave: Deferred feedback
  
• Review options: After the quiz is closed (all options ticked by default). If there is a possibility that students may request extensions/overrides, you can leave all the review options turned off until you are confident all students have attempted the quiz. You may decide to only show the Marks once the quiz is closed.
   
  

In the quiz settings, you can decide on how much Overall feedback to give students at the end of the quiz. You could use grade boundaries to tailor feedback.

User experience

If the quiz setting for Question behaviour > How questions behave is Deferred feedback, this is what happens when the student attempts a question. When they attempt a question, they may get feedback for their response, depending on how you have set up the individual question, but will move through the quiz without reattempting a question.

When the student finishes the quiz, they get the prompt to 'Submit all and finish'.

Once students click 'Submit all and finish', they receive the Overall feedback (quiz settings).

Students can go back in later and review their quiz responses (Quiz settings > Review options). This is handy if they want to learn from their responses, perhaps for a final assessment item.

Short-text response quiz (graded)

Where students are manually graded on their submitted text answers (< 300 words is a guide)

To set up this type of quiz (it may only be one question that requires manual grading), you need to create an essay question.

• Create a quiz essay question
  
• Create a short answer question
  
• Manually mark essay or short-answer questions in a quiz
  

This entry relates to the Quiz activity.

If you want to add questions from a text file rather than creating them in the question bank (this can save time), see Import questions (multiple choice in a text file). Contact your eLearning support team if you need assistance with this process.

• Previewing your quiz
• Previewing quizzes with random questions

Previewing your quiz

Testing your quiz and all its questions is vital as some things cannot be fixed once a quiz is open to students. Whenever possible have a colleague review your quiz questions, as ambiguous questions and errors in a quiz cause students stress and frustration.

When you have finished adding questions, remember to preview the quiz. Click the Actions menu cog, then Preview.

Previewing a quiz allows you to see how it is working, and what students will experience. You can answer the questions, submit the preview and view how the quiz will be marked and how feedback will be provided. The quiz can be previewed as often as required regardless of availability and attempt settings.

While previewing you can fix any errors by clicking on the Edit question link (opens the question in a new window). Once saved, you will return to your quiz preview.

After you click Finish attempt ..., Submit all and finish and then confirm (Submit all and finish again) of your preview, you are shown the review screen which, depending on the quiz settings, students will see after their quiz. 

You can also correct errors with Edit question and you will be returned to the review page after saving. By default, the review page will display all questions and feedback on a single page. There is an option to Show one page at a time. 

Tip: You could print the review page showing all questions and share with a colleague for proofing.

Note: The review page for a quiz preview respect the Review options settings for a quiz. So, if your settings are to show feedback after the quiz closes, you may need to temporarily change settings while you run the quiz preview. Don't forget to revert those settings once your previewing and testing is complete.

Previewing quizzes with random questions

When your quiz has a set of random questions from a category, it is hard to check all questions during quiz preview. Every time you preview the quiz you get different questions, just like a student would, making it almost impossible to ensure you check every question.

There are two ways to test quizzes with random questions. Option A is easier when there are fewer questions to check, or when you need to check specific feedback. Option B is easier when there are a lot of questions, or if you want to print the questions for a colleague to review.

Option A

1. Go to your quiz and choose Edit quiz from the Actions menu cog.
   
   
2. Click on the See questions link. This takes you to the category holding the question in the question bank (the category name is in brackets on the Edit quiz page).
   
   
   
3. Choose Preview from the Edit drop-down menu for each question to preview and check.
   
   
   
4. If you need to make changes to a question, close the preview window and choose Edit question from the Edit drop-down menu.

Option B

1. Create a new quiz. This quiz will be for your purposes only, so keep it hidden from students.
   
   
2. As you are only previewing the quiz, most of the settings can be ignored. There is one however that must be altered. Open the Review options section and under Immediately after the attempt tick the box labelled Right answer.
   
   
   
3. Add all questions from the category or categories that hold the random questions. Click the Add link, then + from question bank 
   
   
   (Tip: If your questions are arranged in subcategories, tick the option to Also show questions from subcategories. This will allow you to select all questions at once)
   
   
   
4. If you are planning to print your quiz, make sure you put all the questions on one web page (as opposed to one question on every page)
   
   
5. Preview the quiz. Click the Actions menu cog, choose Preview
   
   
   
6. Go straight to Finish attempt and then confirm submission (no need to answer questions)
   
   
   
7. Review the attempt
   
   
8. All questions will be list on a single page and the designated correct answer will display below each question. If your quiz has more than 50 questions, the review will have 1 question per page by default. Use the link in the quiz navigation to display all questions on a single page 
        
   
   
9. Print the page to allow thorough checking (print to paper or to PDF).  Consider sharing with a colleague (optional).

Note: Depending on the numbers of questions in your random category/categories and your needs, you may want to create a temporary quiz for each of your categories of random questions.

Note: This procedure won’t let you check specific feedback, but does allow you to see all questions at once, check what is defined as the correct answer and general feedback for questions.

Questions/problems

• I can't see questions from other quizzes
• I can't unhide the grade column in gradebook for a quiz
• I can't add/delete questions in my quiz
• I have assigned answers to a quiz question incorrectly
• I accidentally deleted a quiz and want to restore it

I can't see questions from other quizzes

If you create a quiz, then add 'a new question' rather than add 'from question bank' (Actions menu > Edit quiz screen), you may stumble into this problem. If you leave the Category as 'Default for [topic name]' or choose another category that you have already created, there won't be a problem. But if you choose the category ‘Default for [quiz name]’ from the pull-down menu, the questions will belong to the quiz and you won't be able to see or use them for any another quiz in the topic (e.g. in a revision quiz, or an end-of-topic exam that draws from questions used in formative quizzes throughout the topic).

Solution to prevent this problem

Do one of the following:

• Option 1: Go to the Question bank from your topic homepage (Topic Management > Question bank). Create a category and questions first, before you create the quiz, then add questions into your quiz 'from question bank'

• Option 2: Create a category, then create the quiz and 'add a new question', making sure the new question is saved in the category you created

Note: We strongly advise option 1 as the best approach to creating quizzes. See Add a category to the question bank for more information.

Solution if you have this problem

If you already have this problem and need to use your questions in other quizzes:

1. From your topic home page, go to Topic Management > Question bank > Categories
2. Create a new category (probably best to make the parent category 'top')
3. Go to your existing quiz, then Actions menu > Question bank
4. Select all questions which are in the quiz's default category, then using the 'With selected' menu at the bottom of the page, move to your new category

Note: Questions can be moved to different categories even if they are already used in quizzes, though be careful if they are used as random questions in a quiz.

I can't unhide the grade column in gradebook for a quiz

Quiz results visibility settings are controlled within the settings of the quiz activity, not in the gradebook. 

Check the Marks setting for Later, while the quiz is still open and/or After the quiz is closed. Please see the entry Create a quiz and scroll down to Review options for further information.

I can't add/delete questions in my quiz

Once a quiz has been attempted, no additional questions may be added to that quiz, and no questions can be deleted (removed).

The following message will display on the Editing quiz screen (Actions menu > Edit quiz).

You can, however, delete questions if no attempts have been made. To delete multiple questions (Actions menu > Edit quiz):

1. Click the Select multiple items button
   
2. Click the Select all button or select individual questions
3. Click the Delete selected button
   
   
4. You will be asked to confirm that you want to removed the selected questions, so check these are the questions you want deleted
5. Click the Yes button

I have assigned answers to a quiz question incorrectly

If, before a quiz opens, you discover that a question requires editing or correction, it can be easily edited. Enter the Question bank and locate the relevant question. Select Edit question from the Edit drop-down menu for the question. After making the required changes, click Save changes.

If you discover the error after student access has commenced, it is possible to regrade your quiz. To regrade a quiz attempt you will first need to edit the quiz question that needs changing. When a quiz question is changed, all instances of that question will be altered (e.g. if the question is used in another quiz, it will also be altered). Students will not be notified of the changes made. Refer to the Edit quiz questions (and regrade quiz) entry.

I accidentally deleted a quiz and want to restore it

What you should do

If you accidentally delete a quiz and want to restore it, you can either:

• recreate the quiz – deleting the quiz activity does not delete the questions from the question bank (the original questions are available to use)
• contact your local eLearning support team to discuss if it's possible to restore the quiz from a previous availability.

What you should not do

You may be aware that you can restore deleted activities from the recycle bin, however, this is not recommended for quizzes. Restoring a quiz from the recycle bin will duplicate the question bank (make a copy of each question). If quizzes in your topic use random questions, students may receive the same question more than once. If you've restored a quiz from the recycle bin you will need to delete the duplicate questions before any quiz with random questions opens. Duplicate questions have '(copy)' appended to the question name.

If you need help, contact your local eLearning support team.

• Grades report: Shows all the students' quiz attempts, the overall grade, and the grade for each question. There are links to review all the details of a student's attempt, just as the student would see it (student view)
  Useful for tracking student progress, identifying students at risk, identifying problem questions (either difficult or badly designed) or easy/difficult questions (by time taken)
• Responses report: Similar to the Grades report, except that it shows the responses the students gave, rather than the marks they earned. It is also possible to show the question text or the right answer, to compare with the student's response. This is helpful when the question is randomised
  
  Useful for identifying student misunderstandings (individual and common), gaps in their knowledge
• Statistics report: Gives a statistical (psychometric) analysis of the quiz, and the questions within it. The front page gives a summary of the whole quiz. Links drill down to a detailed analysis of specific questions
  
  Useful for analysing individual questions and question behaviours (e.g. random guess score) but you will need to understand statistical terminology
• Manual grading report: Allows the marker to manually grade questions in the quiz 
  
  Useful for online marking of essay questions (more a marking facility than a report) – these can't be automated like other formats for questions (eg multiple choice). You can also mark short answer questions if required
  

Access the Quiz reports

1. In the topic, click on the Quiz activity
   
   
   
2. Click the Actions menu (cog icon) in the top-right corner of the page
3. Under Results choose from the four report options: Grades | Responses  |Statistics | Manual grading
   

Grades report

The Grades report tells you about student quiz attempts, displaying the overall grade, and a summary of each correct/incorrect answer. It also reports on the State (student progress through a quiz), the time the quiz was started/completed and the total time the student took to complete it. You can regrade quiz attempts by selecting Regrade selected attempts. A bar graph summarises the grade range and frequency.

What to include in the report settings

Display options settings

1. You can download the results in a variety of formats (Comma-separated values text file, Excel spreadsheet etc)
   
   
   
2. Checkboxes allow you to individually regrade or delete the selected attempts. Before regrading attempts, you would edit the quiz question(s) first.
   
   
   
3. Each question's marks is hyperlinked to allow you to view the student's response
   
   
   
4. To review responses made by a particular student, click Review attempt under that student's name in the table.
   

Responses report

The Responses report is visually similar to the Grades report, but it shows the responses students gave to quiz questions, not the marks they earned. You can view the question text/correct answer to compare students' responses.

1. Click the Quiz link > Actions menu (cog icon) > Results > Responses
   
   
   
2. Use the setting form (What to include in the report) at the top of the page to control what is displayed (enrolled users who have attempted the quiz; enrolled users who have not attempted the quiz etc)
   



3. Click Show report  
   
   
4. You can download the results in a variety of formats (Comma-separated values text file, Excel spreadsheet etc)
   
   
5. Checkboxes allow you to delete the selected attempts

Statistics report

The Statistics report provides a statistical ('psychometric') analysis of the quiz and the questions. The report has three sections:

• a summary of the whole quiz
• an analysis showing all questions in table format
• a bar graph of the percentage of correct answers (the 'Facility index') and the 'Discriminative efficiency'.

To get the report:

1. Click the Quiz link> Actions menu (cog icon) > Results > Statistics
   
   
   
2. In the Preferences just for this page, choose whether you want to calculate statistics from the highest graded attempt, all attempts, first attempt or last attempt.
   
   
3. Click Show report
   
   
4. You can download the full report in a variety of formats (Comma-separated values (.csv) file, Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) spreadsheet etc)
   
   
5. The Quiz information gives some basic information about the quiz as a whole. For more information, please refer to https://docs.moodle.org/39/en/Quiz_statistics_report#Quiz_information.
   
   
   
6. The Quiz structure analysis section lists all the questions in the quiz with various statistics in a table format. For more information, please refer to https://docs.moodle.org/39/en/Quiz_statistics_report#Quiz_structure_analysis.

   
   
   Click on a question in the Question name column. In the Preferences just for this page, choose whether you want to calculate statistics from the first attempt or all attempts, and click Show report to go to a detailed report for that question, as shown below.
   
   
   
   
   

7. The last section of this report is a bar graph of the percentage of correct answers (Facility index) and the Discriminative efficiency.

          
   
   

   Facility index (F): The mean score of students on the question (see table below for interpretation)

   Discrimination efficiency: This statistic attempts to estimate how good the discrimination index is relative to the difficulty of the question.
