There are several ways to add a question to a Lesson. This page will show ways of adding a question when in edit mode.
Insert question page
In Moodle 1.7 and later there is now a collapsed view under edit. Use the Action "Add a page" pulldown to the right and select "Question".
Or under the Expanded view (previously called "All pages view"), above each existing page you will see a link Add a Question Page here, similar to below.
This link will insert a question page for you in that spot. Don't worry you can move it later like any other page.
Importing questions
It is possible to insert one or more questions from a file by using the Import questions link in the expanded edit tab. Between each question the teacher will see an "Import questions" link. See the "Insert page type" image above.
Select question type
Before you type in any content in a lesson question, you should decide about the type of Lesson question you will use. The help button near the top of the screen next to "Question Types" can also help with a quick review. The default type is multiple choice but you may easily switch to another type.
- Tip: When you decide to switch question types after placing in content, you will probably lose the content you entered.
.
Elements of question page
Most lesson question page have the same common formats in the edit mode. They have title, content, answers, responses and jumps. Each answer maybe assigned a specific score, depending upon the lesson settings or the simple default method can be used.
The content and answer blocks have the HTML toolbar available.
Remember to click on Add a Question Page to save your page.
