Note: This article is a work in progress. Please use the page comments or an appropriate moodle.org forum for any recommendations/suggestions for improvement.
This page lists current Moodle features in a format suitable for setting up test cases (see Jira as a Test Case Management Software).
Choice module
- The Choice module enables a teacher to ask a question and specify a choice of multiple responses.
- Responses may be displayed horizontally or vertically.
- The time period in which students can answer the choice may be restricted.
- The teacher can choose whether to allow students to change their answer or only accept their first answer.
- The teacher can choose whether results are shown to students after they answer, after the choice activity is closed, always or never.
- Results may be published anonymously or showing names.
- The number of participants who can select each response may be limited.
- A column listing names of students who have not yet answered the choice may be displayed.
Forum module
- The News forum may be used for announcements. By default, everyone is subscribed and only teachers and admins can post.
- The Latest News block displays a specific number of recent discussions from the News forum.
- The single simple discussion forum type enables students to reply to a discussion started by the teacher.
- The 'Each person posts one discussion' forum type allows students to post exactly one new discussion topic. Everyone can reply to all discussions.
- The Q & A forum type requires students to post before they can view other students' postings.
- A forum can be set so that students can choose whether they wish to be subscribed, or subscription can be forced (just initially or forever) or subscriptions can be not allowed.
- Users can track read and unread forum posts.
- Forum posts may be rated according to a chosen grading scale. There are five possible aggregation methods for the ratings - average, count, max, min and sum. Ratings may be restricted to posts within certain dates.
- Students can be blocked from posting in a forum after they post a certain number of posts in a given period. Students are warned as they approach the number.
- Discussions can be viewed nested, flat or threaded, oldest or newest first.
- Discussions can be moved between forums in the same course by the teacher.
- Images attached to forum posts are shown inline.
