Moodle quizzes

Moodle learning platform offers versatile options for taking quizzes and completing other attainments to be assessed in an electronic environment. The period of availability of and conditions for accessing the quiz or assignment can be modified diversely, providing different paths to the attainments to be assessed for students. Students can be given one or several attempts. There are many question types, including multiple choice questions, select missing words tasks, numerical questions, essays, and matching tasks.  In the case of mathematical question, for example, the question types support randomly generated versions (STACK question type), or a question bank can be used in which different assignments can be picked for different resits and students. Images and videos can be embedded in the questions.

Random questions and automated checking and scoring functionalities are available for assignments and tests completed using Moodle quizzes. Conditional branching can be built into the questions to take into account different "nearly correct" answers. All of this naturally requires a fair share of advance work of the teacher while speeding up the marking of the quiz.

Moodle offers a view showing the scoring of various attainments to be assessed and the student's time use. This makes it possible to review the way the assignments work and improve them. This Figure is an example found in Moodle.
