Once a quiz has been added to the course and the [[Quiz settings]] established,the teacher can start to build the quiz. The teacher can use the Navigation menu to get to the quiz's "info" link or click directly on the Quiz name on the course's home page.    Here is a quiz just after it was created:
==How a Moodle quiz works==


==Image of blank quiz==
The word “quiz” might  conjure up for some images of TV game shows, but a Moodle quiz is basically a set of questions presented to the learner which may be automatically marked by Moodle or graded later by the teacher. The questions may be in sentence or number  form or contain various media such as video or sound. They do not all need to be the same type of questions: a quiz may contain multiple choice, matching, essays (teacher-graded) and calculated. Feedback may be given at any or all stages of the process.
[[File:Quiz info editing new 21.PNG|thumb|500px|left|A blank quiz in 2.1 ready to be built]]


Once a quiz is made, that’s not the end of it. A Moodle quiz is environmentally friendly: its questions are saved in a [[Question bank]] and may be recycled for use elsewhere. Thus, Mr Brown  could create a Physics Quiz with 20 questions for his class, Class Brown, and his colleague Mr Smith sharing the course could save himself valuable time by resusing 5 of Mr Brown’s questions in his own General Science quiz for Class Smith. (See also [[How to let teachers share questions between courses|Question Sharer role]] for sharing questions across the site)


==The basic ideas of quiz-making==
If a quiz is a book, the [[Quiz settings]] are equivalent to the front cover; the quiz itself is contained within when the questions are created. (Be careful : once you have chosen the Quiz Settings, it will be “live” on your course page, unless  you hide it, so your learners could potentially see a quiz with no questions, like a front cover with no content.)
The basic idea is in building a quiz is to add questions from the question bank, organize them by page and determine the value of each question.


There are several ways to add questions.  From the editing quiz tab, the teacher can add question by using the "Question bank contents {Show)" link to find an existing question or use the "Add a question" button to create a new question that is automatically added to the question bank.


In the question bank you can create categories, which are similar to folders in your computer file system. You can use Categories to create a hierarchy for organising your questions. Depending upon permissions, you might have access to questions created for other courses by other teachers in the question bank.
Once a quiz has been added to the course and the [[Quiz settings]] established,the teacher can start to build the quiz. The teacher can access the quiz to edit the questions by clicking directly on the Quiz name on the course home page and then "Edit quiz" or by clicking the "info" link in the Navigation block. The "Edit quiz link can also be accessed from ''Settings>Quiz administration.''


You can use random questions so that different students get different questions, or so that one student gets different questions each time they attempt the quiz. When a student starts an attempt at the quiz, the random question will be replaced by an actual question, picked at random from a certain category in the question bank.

===A paper quiz example===
|}
As an example,  think of the quiz like a simple traditional paper test. You have a blank piece of paper in front of you and an overall plan for the quiz.  You may have a filing cabinet([[Question bank]]) next to you with all the questions you or other teachers have written for your course, your department or school.  When you decide to add a new question, you will decide what type of question it is going to be.  Or you can go to the filing cabinet that has individual questions neatly organized ([[Question categories]]) and look at it.  You will then start typing the question (Question text) and its answers (Choices) according to it's type. You will make a side note of the correct answer(s), determine how much full or partial credit (grade) you will give for each answer and how much the question is worth in your quiz. When you are done with a question, you go onto the next question and repeat the process. 


In our paper example, we did not mention that every question gets written on its own form.  New questions are always put in the filing cabinet.  You find an existing question, edit it and save it as a new question to use in your quiz. When you create a question, you might have thought about suggestions (hints) you could give your students in class about each question, or what you would like to tell the student about their answer(feedback). Moodle has a place to record these kinds of things, if you want to use them.


Your overall plan for the paper quiz, probably will include how many points the quiz is worth in the course.  Most teachers like to write the score on the students exam, with some sort of note based upon the score.  As part of the quiz plan, the teacher has decided what kind of grading system ([[Scales]]) they will use or not use.  Moodle can store this information in its "Update settings" area.


While in theory is possible for a teacher to create an individual paper quiz for each student, it is not practical because of the required effort.  However, you will discover that such things are possible with less effort by using  different features of the quiz module and the question bank. We will keep it simple but you might be thinking about creative ways to use various settings.
==Adding questions==


<p class="note">''"This page is still under revision to update it to 2.x.  From this point on the page has not been double checked against a 2.0 Moodle.  However, most of the instructions still apply. Please move or delete this note as necessary--[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 21:01, 26 August 2011 (WST)'''</p>
Once you have accessed the quiz editing screen as above, you can add questions from a number of locations:


==Compiling a new quiz==
#Click the "Add question" button to begin a new question (1 below)
#Click "Show" (2a) to reveal the contents of the question bank (2b) and then choose a pre-made question or click "Create new question" (3)
#Click "Add a random question" to add a random question, ''providing there are questions in the question bank already''.


===Adding questions to a quiz===
Once you’ve created your questions, you’ll need to add them to the quiz. There are many types in the [[Question bank]] that you can use. Alternatively, you may choose to [[Import questions|import questions]].


First use the 'Category' menu to select the category containing the questions you want to add (item 3 in the diagram below).
{|
|  [[File:add question.png|thumb|300px|Adding a question]]


The chevrons (<< icons) to the left of the questions are used to add individual questions to the quiz. You can also select several questions using the checkboxes on the left of the question list and then click the "Add to quiz" button at the bottom of the list to add then all at once. If you want to add all the displayed questions then use the 'Select all' link.
|}
<nowiki>[[Image:Quiz.gif|frame|left|This shows four methods of adding questions including adding random questions dealt with in more detail below (Moodle 1.8)]]<br style="clear:both;"></nowiki>


===Creating a new question===


===Editing question order in a quiz===
#To make a brand new question, click "Add a question".
Once you’ve added a question to the quiz, they appears on the left side of the screen in the quiz question list. This edit view can only be see when no attempts have been made by students.
#From the next screen, choose the question type you want to add and click "Next"
<nowiki>
[[Image:Quiz Edit no attempts.png|thumb|center|A quiz in edit mode, where questions have been added, and no students have attempted the quiz. This quiz has random and fixed questions from 2 question categories.]]</nowiki>


You can change the order of the questions with the move icons. You can move a question out of the quiz with the chevrons (>> icons). Of course you can use the edit and preview icons next to any question that will bring up a pop up window.  The teacher can move or reset the page breaks on this screen.
'''NOTE:''' ''When you click on a question type on the left, helpful information appears on the right''.  


Quiz will not let you add the same question to the same quiz more than once and will not display the same question twice to the students when both random and fixed questions are used from a single category.
#Fill in the question form, making sure to give a grade to the correct answer.
#Click "Save changes"


::Remember if the Quiz setting is set to randomize question order, the order you see in this view will not be what your students see when they make an attempt.
{|
|  [[File:questionpicker.png|thumb|250px|Selecting a question type]]
|  [[File:questionadded.png|thumb|250px|A question when it has been created]]


===Grading questions ===
|}
You will also need to set the grade for each question. You can set the number of points for each question in the Grade column. This allows you to set the relative weight of each question in the quiz. You may want to make certain questions or question types worth more than others. You should also set the 'Maximum grade' for the whole quiz. This does not have to be equal to the sum of the grades for the individual questions. The grades achieved by the students will be rescaled to be out of this maximum grade. After adjusting these grade settings you should click on the 'Save grades' button.


===Adding random questions===
Note that when a question has been created, an icon and words display its type (eg muliple choice) and a magnifiying glass icon allows you to preview it.
A random question places a link that will select a unique question at random from a specific question category.  Random questions are selected when the quiz is generated for a specific student attempt.  


This means that different students are likely to get a different selection of questions when they attempt this quiz. For example, when a quiz has 10 random questions that draw on a question category with 30 questions.  If a quiz allows multiple attempts for each student then each attempt will also contain a new selection of questions.


The same question will never appear twice in a quiz. If you include several random questions then different questions will always be chosen for each of them. If you mix random questions with non-random questions then the random questions will be chosen so that they do not duplicate one of the non-random questions. This does imply that you need to provide enough questions in the category from which the random questions are chosen, otherwise the student will be shown a friendly error message. The more questions you provide the more likely it will be that students get different questions on each attempt.
You can continue adding questions this way, clicking the "Add a question" button each time.
 
===Choosing a pre-made question===
If other teachers in the course have made questions, or if a teacher made questions in an earlier quiz, these can be added to the current quiz by clicking the arrows next to them in the question bank (1 below) or by checking/ticking the box of several and then clicking the button "add to quiz" (2). To ensure all previously made questions are available, make sure to tick the boxes "also show questions from sub-categories/old questions".
 
{|
| [[File:premadequestion.png|thumb|Using a previously made question]]
 
|}
 
===Adding a random question===
As long as you have questions in the question bank, you can add random questions to your quiz. This might be useful if you have students in a class taking a quiz at the same time, because they are unlikely to get the same questions at the same time. The same question will never appear twice in a quiz. If you include several random questions then different questions will always be chosen for each of them. If you mix random questions with non-random questions then the random questions will be chosen so that they do not duplicate one of the non-random questions. This does imply that you need to provide enough questions in the category from which the random questions are chosen, otherwise the student will be shown a friendly error message. The more questions you provide the more likely it will be that students get different questions on each attempt.


The grade for the randomly chosen question will be rescaled so that the maximum grade is what you have chosen as the grade for the random question.
The grade for the randomly chosen question will be rescaled so that the maximum grade is what you have chosen as the grade for the random question.


To add random questions, select the question category you wish to use, then use the drop-down menu at the bottom of the Question Bank in the right column. Select the number of random questions you wish to add, and click 'Add'.  The random question link will appear on the quiz question list in the left column.
You can add one or more random questions by choosing the number and category in the question bank. Note the die icon to highlight random question selection.

====Quiz question tags====
Note that although it is possible to tag questions, the feature does not currently work. See forum discussion: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=194119


===Previewing questions===
===Question categories===
After you have added questions to the quiz, they will appear on the left. Notice the preview and edit icons next to the fixed questions. These will open a popup window.  The move icons will allow you to change the order of the questions (if Quiz is setup to randomize the order, this will not have an effect).
Questions can be stored and retrieved from categories in the Question bank. When you make a new question it defaults to the category with the course name. So if you make a quiz in the Senior Physics course, questions will automatically be added to "Default for Senior Physics". You can opt to have your quiz questions in a category of their own ("Quizname") or to add a subcategory.
   
To add a subcategory, go to ''Settings>Quiz administration>Question bank>Categories'' For more information on question contexts and categories, see [[Question bank]]


<nowiki>[[Image:Quiz Questions in this quiz 197.png|thumb|center|This quiz has random questions and fixed questions. Both are drawn from 2 different question categories.]]</nowiki>
Users will have access to different categories according to their permissions. For example, a regular teacher might only have access to question categories in his own Physics course whereas his Faculty Head of Science with permissions in all science courses might have access to question categories in Biology and Chemistry as well.


When you’re done, you will probably also want to preview your entire quiz by clicking on the '''Preview''' tab. This will bring you to the [[Quiz preview]] screen, but in teacher preview mode.
==Quiz layout==


===Setting page breaks===
*You can choose in  '' Settings>Quiz administration>Edit settings>Layout'' whether to have a new page for every question or after a certain number of questions.
After you have added question to the quiz, they will appear on the left.  You can manually move the page breaks, or reset the page breaks so that a standard number of questions appear on a single page.  
*You can click the "Add a page here" button to add a page at selected intervals and move questions up and down by clicking the arrow button.
*You can also set the pages by clicking the tab "Order and paging" on the Edit quiz screen.
*Questions may be moved up and down with the arrows, or you can check the boxes to their left and then click "reorder questions"
*You can check a box to select a question and then click "Add new pages after selected questions"
*You can "repaginate" by setting the number of questions per page.  After setting the number of questions per page, you can move questions so that there are a different number of questions on each page.  


For example, you set the quiz up to show 5 questions per page.  You realize that 10 would be a better number.  Change the number of questions per page from 5 to 10 and click on go.  The quiz will automatically change the breaks.


For example, you want a description on the first page with 3 questions, followed by a page with 10 questions, and a last page of 6 question and a description. The quiz was set up with 5 questions per page. You should add and or move the questions and descriptions in the order you want.  Then move the existing page breaks to achieve the effect you want.  Make sure to turn off "shuffle questions" in the quiz setting.
{|

==Assigning points to questions ==
''Settings > Quiz administration > Edit quiz > Editing quiz''
 
You can set how many points each question is worth by changing the number in the box to the right of each question (1) and you can change the maximum grade by changing the number in the box at the top of the quiz (2) The default is one point per question and 100.00 maximum grade.
 
{|
|  [[File:gradingquiz.png|thumb|250px|Points per question and max grade]]
 
|}
 
 
:Tip: Each save button is independent of each other.   Thus if you change 2 grade boxes and click on the "Save" button, only the grade next to that button will be saved.  Your other changes will revert to what they were before.  Best practice is to change the grade and save one question at a time.
 
The quiz module will do any maths, so for example, a 2 point question will be worth 2 times more when the Quiz module determines how many point out of 10 to award the student.
 
 
==Previewing the quiz==
*You can preview individual questions by clicking the magnifying glass icon.
*You can preview the whole quiz by clicking the "Preview" link in ''Settings>Quiz administration>Preview''
*The quiz works like a real quiz so you can see your grades and any feedback for correct/incorrect answers just as a student would see them.

How a Moodle quiz works

The word “quiz” might conjure up for some images of TV game shows, but a Moodle quiz is basically a set of questions presented to the learner which may be automatically marked by Moodle or graded later by the teacher. The questions may be in sentence or number form or contain various media such as video or sound. They do not all need to be the same type of questions: a quiz may contain multiple choice, matching, essays (teacher-graded) and calculated. Feedback may be given at any or all stages of the process.

Once a quiz is made, that’s not the end of it. A Moodle quiz is environmentally friendly: its questions are saved in a Question bank and may be recycled for use elsewhere. Thus, Mr Brown could create a Physics Quiz with 20 questions for his class, Class Brown, and his colleague Mr Smith sharing the course could save himself valuable time by resusing 5 of Mr Brown’s questions in his own General Science quiz for Class Smith. (See also Question Sharer role for sharing questions across the site)

If a quiz is a book, the Quiz settings are equivalent to the front cover; the quiz itself is contained within when the questions are created. (Be careful : once you have chosen the Quiz Settings, it will be “live” on your course page, unless you hide it, so your learners could potentially see a quiz with no questions, like a front cover with no content.)


Once a quiz has been added to the course and the Quiz settings established,the teacher can start to build the quiz. The teacher can access the quiz to edit the questions by clicking directly on the Quiz name on the course home page and then "Edit quiz" or by clicking the "info" link in the Navigation block. The "Edit quiz link can also be accessed from Settings>Quiz administration.

Accessing the quiz to add or edit questions


Adding questions

Once you have accessed the quiz editing screen as above, you can add questions from a number of locations:

  1. Click the "Add question" button to begin a new question (1 below)
  2. Click "Show" (2a) to reveal the contents of the question bank (2b) and then choose a pre-made question or click "Create new question" (3)
  3. Click "Add a random question" to add a random question, providing there are questions in the question bank already.


Adding a question

Creating a new question

  1. To make a brand new question, click "Add a question".
  2. From the next screen, choose the question type you want to add and click "Next"

NOTE: When you click on a question type on the left, helpful information appears on the right.

  1. Fill in the question form, making sure to give a grade to the correct answer.
  2. Click "Save changes"
Selecting a question type

Note that when a question has been created, an icon and words display its type (eg muliple choice) and a magnifiying glass icon allows you to preview it.


You can continue adding questions this way, clicking the "Add a question" button each time.

Choosing a pre-made question

If other teachers in the course have made questions, or if a teacher made questions in an earlier quiz, these can be added to the current quiz by clicking the arrows next to them in the question bank (1 below) or by checking/ticking the box of several and then clicking the button "add to quiz" (2). To ensure all previously made questions are available, make sure to tick the boxes "also show questions from sub-categories/old questions".

Using a previously made question

Adding a random question

As long as you have questions in the question bank, you can add random questions to your quiz. This might be useful if you have students in a class taking a quiz at the same time, because they are unlikely to get the same questions at the same time. The same question will never appear twice in a quiz. If you include several random questions then different questions will always be chosen for each of them. If you mix random questions with non-random questions then the random questions will be chosen so that they do not duplicate one of the non-random questions. This does imply that you need to provide enough questions in the category from which the random questions are chosen, otherwise the student will be shown a friendly error message. The more questions you provide the more likely it will be that students get different questions on each attempt.

The grade for the randomly chosen question will be rescaled so that the maximum grade is what you have chosen as the grade for the random question.

You can add one or more random questions by choosing the number and category in the question bank. Note the die icon to highlight random question selection.

Note that although it is possible to tag questions, the feature does not currently work. See forum discussion: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=194119

Question categories

Questions can be stored and retrieved from categories in the Question bank. When you make a new question it defaults to the category with the course name. So if you make a quiz in the Senior Physics course, questions will automatically be added to "Default for Senior Physics". You can opt to have your quiz questions in a category of their own ("Quizname") or to add a subcategory.

To add a subcategory, go to Settings>Quiz administration>Question bank>Categories For more information on question contexts and categories, see Question bank

Users will have access to different categories according to their permissions. For example, a regular teacher might only have access to question categories in his own Physics course whereas his Faculty Head of Science with permissions in all science courses might have access to question categories in Biology and Chemistry as well.

Quiz layout

  • You can choose in Settings>Quiz administration>Edit settings>Layout whether to have a new page for every question or after a certain number of questions.
  • You can click the "Add a page here" button to add a page at selected intervals and move questions up and down by clicking the arrow button.
  • You can also set the pages by clicking the tab "Order and paging" on the Edit quiz screen.
  • Questions may be moved up and down with the arrows, or you can check the boxes to their left and then click "reorder questions"
  • You can check a box to select a question and then click "Add new pages after selected questions"
  • You can "repaginate" by setting the number of questions per page. After setting the number of questions per page, you can move questions so that there are a different number of questions on each page.

Assigning points to questions

Settings > Quiz administration > Edit quiz > Editing quiz

You can set how many points each question is worth by changing the number in the box to the right of each question (1) and you can change the maximum grade by changing the number in the box at the top of the quiz (2) The default is one point per question and 100.00 maximum grade.

Points per question and max grade


Tip: Each save button is independent of each other. Thus if you change 2 grade boxes and click on the "Save" button, only the grade next to that button will be saved. Your other changes will revert to what they were before. Best practice is to change the grade and save one question at a time.

The quiz module will do any maths, so for example, a 2 point question will be worth 2 times more when the Quiz module determines how many point out of 10 to award the student.


Previewing the quiz

  • You can preview individual questions by clicking the magnifying glass icon.
  • You can preview the whole quiz by clicking the "Preview" link in Settings>Quiz administration>Preview
  • The quiz works like a real quiz so you can see your grades and any feedback for correct/incorrect answers just as a student would see them.

After quiz has been attempted

If one or more students have taken the quiz, you will see a list of all the questions in the quiz and a notice saying that you cannot add or remove questions.


You can change the order of questions, regrade them, preview an individual question and click on an question edit link that will allow you to directly edit the question stored in the question bank.


NOTE: You can delete all quiz attempts by students and then edit the quiz as if no students had attempted it. To do this,click the quiz name and then the Results link in the Navigation block. This will present a list of students and their scores. Click "Select all" and then "Delete selected attempts".

Dealing with faulty questions

There are several ways to deal with "bad" questions in a quiz.

  • Change the grade for the bad question to 0 in the quiz.
  • Edit the question, changing what you will accept as a correct answer, then regrading the exam. Remember when changing a question that the next time it is used it will be as it was in the last edit. Also, regrading will only affect one quiz at a time.
  • You can edit the question to explain the situation to the student and then you can set the grade for the question to zero. After you make such changes you should regrade the quiz by clicking on the Results tab and then the Regrade tab. This will change the grade for all students who have taken the quiz so far. Remember, if the question is used by another quiz, your "explanation" will appear as part of that quiz.
  • You can change the grade for the bad question and then move or delete the question from your question category. The question will still appear on the quiz. Some places do not like to delete any question, but will move them to a "dead" or "bad" question category.
  • When you discover a bad question in your quiz, it may affect the question bank. Remember that a final might be made up of a certain number of random questions drawn from different question categories, the same categories used in a smaller subject quiz. It can be very important do something about bad or invalid questions in a question category when the categories are use in other places.
