Tipos de preguntas

Podemos agregar varios tipos diferentes de preguntas a una categoría:

Opción múltiple

Moodle provides you with a lot of flexibility when creating this common question type. Figure 5-5 shows an example question. You can create single answer and multiple answer questions, display pictures in the question and weight individual answers.

Figure 5-5. A multiple-choice question

There are two types of multiple choice questions - single answer and multiple answer.

Single-answer questions

These questions allow one and only one answer to be chosen by providing radio buttons next to the answers. You will specify non-negative marks for each answer, usually zero marks for wrong answers, maximum marks for correct answers and partial marks for partially correct answers.

Multiple-answer questions

These questions allow one or more answers to be chosen by providing check boxes next to the answers. Each answer may carry a positive or negative grade, so that choosing ALL the options will not necessarily result in good grade. If the total grade is negative then the total grade for this question will be zero. Careful: it is possible to create questions that have scores greater than 100%.

Figure 5-6 shows the multiple choice editing page.

Figure 5-6. Editing a Multiple Choice Question

To set up a multiple choice question you proceed as follows:

1. Start out 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. The name will be used in the question lists on the quiz editing page. It will not be shown to the students, so you can choose any name that makes sense to you and possibly other teachers.

1. Create the question text. If you’re using the HTML Editor, you can format the question just like a word processing document
2. If you want to add an image to the question, you have two options
   1. If you’ve already uploaded an image to your Files area (see Chapter 4 for details), it will be available to add to the question stem in a dropdown menu under the Question text area
   2. If you’re using the HTML editor, you can click the image icon. This will pop-up the Insert Image window. You can choose to upload an image into your files area from this window, or you can add the URL of an image on the web. If you add a file to your files area, click the name of the file after you upload it to insert the link into the URL text entry at the top of the screen. Then click OK.
3. Choose whether students can only select one answer or multiple answers
4. Write your first answer in the Choice 1 text field.
5. Select a grade percentage for the answer. This is the percentage of the total points for the question that selecting this response is worth. You can select negative percentages as well as positive percentages. So if a question is worth 10 points, selecting a correct response in a multiple answer question may give you 50% of the possible points. Selecting a wrong answer may take away 10%.
6. If you wish, you can add feedback for each response. It may be a bit ore work, but it’s good practice to tell the students why each answer is right or wrong using the feedback area. If students know why an answer is right or wrong, they can analyze their own thinking and being to understand why an answer is correct. Your feedback will only be displayed if you select Show Feedback in the quiz body options.
7. Fill in the rest of the response choices in the rest of the form. Any unused areas will be ignored.
8. Select the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the screen.

You have now added a multiple choice question to the question category.

Respuesta corta

En respuesta a una pregunta (la cual puede incluir una imagen) el alumno escribe una palabra o frase corta.

Puede haber varias respuestas correctas posibles, cada una con una puntuación diferente. Si selecciona la opción "Sensible a las mayúsculas", podrá tener puntuaciones diferentes para "Palabra" o "palabra."

Las respuestas se comparan exactamente, así que ¡tenga el cuidado con su ortografía!

To create a short answer question:

1. Give your question a descriptive name
2. Create the question stem. If you want students to fill in a blank, use the underscore to indicate where the blank is.
3. Select an image to display if you want to add a picture to the question (see step 3 in the multiple choice description above for more detail).
4. Choose whether capitalization is important. Case sensitivity can be tricky. Will you accept george washingtion as well as George Washington as an answer?
5. Next, fill in the answers you will accept. You can give each answer a percentage of the grade as well. You could give common misspellings partial credit with this option. If the "Case sensitive" option is selected, then you can have different scores for "Word" or "word".
6. Create feedback for each acceptable answer.
7. Click Save Changes to add the question to the category

You can use the asterisk character (*) as a wildcard to match any series of characters. For example, use ran*ing to match any word or phrase starting with "ran" and ending with "ing". If you really do want to match an asterisk then use a backslash like this: \*

Without wildcards the answers are compared exactly, so be careful with your spelling!

You may like to prototype your short answer questions to catch common acceptable answers you hadn’t thought of. Start out by creating a few acceptable answers, then include the question in a quiz for no points. Be sure to tell students you are testing a new question. Once the quiz is over, review students’ answers and add their acceptable answers to the list.

Numérica

Desde el punto de vista de un alumno, una pregunta numérica es muy semejante a una pregunta de respuesta corta. La diferencia es que la pregunta numérica es un número y permite un margen de error. Esto permite habilitar un rango continuo de posibles respuestas acertadas.

For example, if the answer is 30 with an accepted error of 5, then any number between 25 and 35 will be accepted as correct.

Numerical questions can also have case-insensitive non-numerical answers. This is useful whenever the answer for a numerical question is something like N/A, +inf, -inf, NaN etc.

Figure 5-8. Numerical Question

To create a numerical question

1. Give the question a descriptive name
2. Type the equation or numerical question for your students to solve

Moodle has a various text filters that allow you to type an equation and have it properly typeset when displayed. The TeX syntax is particularly recommended for the purpose of writing equations because it is the most common syntax.

1. Select an image to display if you want to add a picture to the question (see step 3 in the multiple choice description above for more detail).
2. Enter the correct answer (you can only add one correct answer)
3. Enter the accepted error, 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.
4. Enter feedback for the for the question
5. Click Save Changes to add the question to the category

Verdadero/Falso

En respuesta a una pregunta (la cual puede incluir una imagen), el alumno selecciona de entre dos opciones: Verdadero o Falso

If feedback is enabled, then the appropriate feedback message is shown to the respondent after answering the quiz. For example, if the correct answer is "False", but they answer "True" (getting it wrong) then the "True" feedback is shown.

Emparejamiento

Después de una introducción (opcional), se presenta una lista de preguntas junto con una lista de respuestas. El alumno debe seleccionar la respuesta correcta que corresponda a cada pregunta de la lista.

The respondent must select an answer to match each sub-question.

Each sub-question is equally weighted to contribute towards the grade for the total question.

Preguntas incrustadas (Cloze)

Las preguntas incrustadas (Cloze) consisten en un texto que puede integrar (en formato Moodle) varias preguntas incrustadas de tipo opción múltiple, preguntas cortas y numéricas.

Actualmente no disponemos de una interfaz gráfica para crear este tipo de preguntas, de modo que es preciso especificar el formato de la pregunta usando la caja de texto, o bien importarlas desde archivos externos.

Aleatoria

Nos permite seleccionar un número de preguntas que serán aleatoriamente seleccionadas cada vez que un estudiante intenta responder el examen.

Emparejamiento de respuesta corta aleatoria

From the student perspective, this looks just like a Matching question. The difference is that the subquestions are drawn randomly from Short Answer questions in the current category.

After an optional introduction, the respondent is presented with several sub-questions and several jumbled answers. There is one correct answer for each question.

The respondent must select an answer to match each sub-question.

Each sub-question is equally weighted to contribute towards the grade for the total question.

The questions and answers are randomly drawn from the pool of "Short Answer" questions in the current category. Each attempt on a quiz will have different questions and answers.

Descripción

Este formato no es una pregunta en sentido estricto. Se limita a mostrar un texto (y si lo desea algún gráfico) sin necesidad de responder. Puede ser útil, por ejemplo, para dar información previa antes de un grupo de preguntas.

Calculadas

Las preguntas calculadas ofrecen una forma de crear preguntas numéricas individuales por medio del uso de tarjetas que son sustituídas por los valores individuales cuando se responde el cuestionario.
