<br />
The '''Quiz''' module allows the teacher to design and set quizzes consisting of a large variety of [[Question types]], among them multiple choice, true-false, and short answer questions. These questions are kept in the course [[Questions|Question bank]] and can be re-used within courses and between courses. Quizzes can allow multiple attempts. Each attempt is automatically marked, and the teacher can choose whether to give feedback and/or show the correct answers. <br />
<br />
Feedback on performance is a critical part of a learning environment and assessment is one of the most important activities in education. As educators, we can’t tell what’s going on inside the heads of students, so we need a way for them to demonstrate what they understand and what they don’t. A well-designed test, even a multiple-choice test, can give you critical information about student performance. If the feedback is rapid enough, it can also be a critical tool for students to gauge their own performance and help them become more successful. <br />
<br />
Moodle’s quiz module has a large number of options and tools, making it extremely flexible. You can create quizzes with different question types, randomly generated quizzes from pools of questions, allow students to have repeated attempts at a question or retake quizzes multiple times, and have the computer score it all. <br />
<br />
These features open up a number of strategies which usually aren’t practical with paper based testing. It’s hard enough to score one batch of quizzes, and nearly impossible to score it 10 times for each student. When the computer does the work for you, it’s easy to give students a chance to practice taking a test, or to give frequent small quizzes. We explore how to apply these advantages on the page [[Effective quiz practices]].<br />
<br />
This is the page where you can see all the quiz activities in the course, organized under four headings: <br />
<br />
# '''Topic''' - the number of the block, in which the given quiz appears<br />
# '''Name''' - the name of the quiz <br />
# '''Quiz closes''' - the date after which the quiz will be closed<br />
# '''Attempts''' - if there have been any attempts at the quiz, you will see the text 'View reports for x attempts (y Students)', 'x' being the number of attempts and 'y' the number of students attempting at the quiz. Otherwise, the field will be empty.<br />

{{Databases}}<br />
<br />
A '''field''' is a named unit of information. Each entry in a [[Database module|database]] can have multiple fields of multiple types e.g. a text field called 'favourite color' which allows you to type in your favourite shade, or a menu called 'state' that lets you choose one from a list of the 50 that make up the United States of America. By combining several fields with appropriate names and types you should be able to capture all the relevant information about the items in your database.<br />
<br />
== Field name and description ==<br />
<br />
All fields ask you for a name and a description when you create them. Field names must be unique and they should be short and sensible.<br />
<br />
== Field types ==<br />
<br />
=== Checkbox ===<br />
<br />
Allows one or more checkboxes. Each line in the options box is a different checkbox. The text entered is what will be the case if the checkbox is checked e.g. 'valid' for something that can be valid or not. This word will appear beside the checkbox on entry, and then by itself when viewing if the box has been checked. If you wish to ensure that the user actively selects one of the options you can use [[Fields#Radio buttons|radio buttons]] instead<br />
<br />
Multiple checboxes could be use, for example, in a movie database that has Horror, Comedy, Western etc. checkboxes for different film genres, and you would be able to check more than one in the case of Horror-Comedies or Comedy-Westerns. The [[Fields#Menu (multi-select)|menu (multi-select)]] field also achieves this, but clicking multiple checkboxes is usually a more obvious interface.<br />
<br />
=== Date ===<br />
<br />
Allows users to enter a date by picking a day, month and year from a drop down list.<br />
<br />
=== File ===<br />
<br />
Asks users to upload a file from their computer. If it is an image file then the picture field may be a better choice.<br />
<br />
=== Menu ===<br />
<br />
The text entered in the ''options'' area will be presented as a drop-down list for the user to choose from. Each line become a different option.<br />
<br />
=== Menu (Multi-select) ===<br />
<br />
The text entered in the ''options'' area will be presented as a list for the user to choose from and each line become a different option. By holding down control or shift as they click, users will be able to select multiple options. This is a fairly advanced computer skill so it may be wise to use multiple checkboxes instead.<br />
<br />
=== Number ===<br />
<br />
Asks the user to enter a number. The number must be an integer, though it can be negative ( e.g. ...,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,...). If you enter anything else but numbers and a leading minus sign the number will be truncated or converted to zero e.g. "3.14" becomes "3", "1,000,000" becomes "1" and "six" becomes "0".<br />
<br />
=== Picture ===<br />
<br />
The user can upload an image file from their computer.<br />
<br />
=== Radio buttons ===<br />
<br />
Allows the user to choose one from a range of options. If the user doesn't select any of these options then they will be prompted to do so and can only submit the entry when one option is chosen.<br />
<br />
If you only have two options and they are opposites (true/false, yes/no) then you could simply use a single checkbox instead. However checkboxes default to their unchecked status and so people could submit without actively selecting one of the options. This may not always be appropriate.<br />
<br />
=== Text ===<br />
<br />
Users can enter text up to 60 characters in length. For longer text, or for text that requires formatting such as headers and bullet points, you can use a textarea field.<br />
<br />
=== Textarea ===<br />
<br />
Allows users to enter a long piece of text including formatting similar to that found when creating forum posts.<br />
Max number of characters in text area = ?<br />
<br />
=== URL ===<br />
<br />
Ask the user to enter a URL. If you select ''autolink'' then the URL becomes a clickable link. If you also enter a ''forced name for the link'' then that text will be used for the hyperlink. For example in a database of authors you may wish people to enter the author's website. If you enter the text 'homepage' as a forced name then clicking on text "homepage" will take you to the entered URL.<br />
<br />
=== Latitude/longitude ===<br />
{{Moodle 1.7}}<br />
Users can enter a geographic location, by specifying the location's latitude and longitude. For example, [http://moodle.com/hq/ Moodle HQ] is at latitude -31.9545, longitude 115.877. When viewing the record, links are automatically generated linking to geographic data services such as [http://earth.google.com Google Earth], [http://www.openstreetmap.org/ OpenStreetMap], [http://www.geabios.com/ GeaBios],[http://www.mapstars.com/extern/deltaworks-holland Mapstars] and more. (The teacher can choose which of those links appear, if any.)<br />

<div>[[ru:Шаблоны]]<br />
{{Databases}}<br />
<br />
'''Templates''' for the [[Database module]] allow you to control the visual layout of information when listing, viewing or editing database entries. It is a similar to the technique used to ''mail merge'' letters in word proccessors such as Open Office Writer or Microsoft Word. Keep in mind that saving templates fails at this time 3Feb7.<br />
<br />
== Tag usage ==<br />
<br />
The content of each [[Fields|field]] you create for your database and a few special tags (listed below) can be inserted into the output template by the use of tags. To use the tags found on the left side, use the HTML viewer, place your cursor in the text area of your target edit and then click on the tag you want to place. Or simply type the appropriate name within the required symbols like <nowiki>##this## or [[this]]</nowiki>.<br />
<br />
* ##Edit## creates a clickable icon link that allows you to edit the current entry (only appears if you have the rights to do this)<br />
* ##More## creates a link to the single view, which may contain more detailed info<br />
* ##MoreURL## creates just the URL for the above link, useful for creating your own links. Please note that there is no any space between 'More' and 'URL'. You can click on the link icon and type ##MoreURL## into URL field or in source view type: <a href="##moreurl##"><nowiki>[[fieldname]]</nowiki></a><br />
* ##Delete## creates a link that lets you delete the current entry (only appears if you have the rights to do this)<br />
* ##Approve## create a link that lets you approve the current database entry (only appears if you have the rights to do this)<br />
* ##Comments## creates a link to the view/edit comments page, the link text is the current number of comments (only appears if comments are turned on)<br />
* ##User## creates a link to the user page of the user who submitted the entry, link text is their name<br />
<br />
Here's a video demonstrating tag usage:<br />
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7026851446099005477<br />
<br />
== List template ==<br />
<br />
This template allows you to control the fields used and their layout when viewing multiple entries at once (e.g. search results). It is possible that this view may simply provide an overview with more detailed information available by clicking on an entry to access the single view of the entry.<br />
<br />
== Single template ==<br />
<br />
This is used to display a single entry at a time and so has more space for display and can use, for example, larger versions of images or optionally provide more information than shown in the list view.<br />
<br />
== Add template ==<br />
<br />
This template creates the interface form used when adding or editing database entries. Saving a template will overwrite whatever template you have already saved. The ablility to create (and import and export) named templates for re-use is planned but not yet functional. Currently you can <br />
copy and paste your template for reuse elsewhere.<br />
<br />
== RSS template ==<br />
<br />
Lets you control the content of the [[RSS]] feed for database entries.<br />
<br />
== CSS template ==<br />
<br />
If any of the [[HTML]] in your other templates requires [[CSS]] to provide visual style you can specify it here.<br />
<br />
== Reset templates button ==<br />
<br />
When you first create a database the templates will be pre-filled with appropriate HTML. If you later add fields then you can press the ''reset templates'' button and it will add HTML for the new fields in a similar fashion. If you have edited any of the templates in the meantime then your changes will be lost. It is recommended that you finalize the database fields before changing the template code.<br />

{{Moodle 1.6}}<br />
<br />
The '''Database module''' allows the teacher and/or students to build, display and search a bank of record entries about any conceivable topic. The format and structure of these entries can be almost unlimited, including images, files, URLs, numbers and text amongst other things. You may be familiar with similar technology from building Microsoft Access or Filemaker databases.<br />
<br />
:'''''Note:''' Please don't confuse this [[Adding resources and activities | activity type]] with Moodle's underlying SQL database, which stores all of the information used in Moodle courses and is only of interest to Moodle [[Administrator documentation | Administrators]].''<br />
<br />
<br />
== How to use the database module ==<br />
* The first task is to [[Adding/editing_a_database|add the database]]. You will be asked to give it a name, provide some text explaining its intended purpose to users and set a few other options.<br />
* Next you define the kind of [[Fields]] that define the information you wish to collect. For example a database of famous paintings may have a [[picture field]] called ''painting'', for uploading an image file showing the painting, and two [[text fields]] called ''artist'' and ''title'' for the name of the artist and the painting.<br />
* It is then optional to edit the [[Templates|database templates]] to alter the way in which the database displays entries.<br />
* Note that if you later edit the fields in the databases you must use the [[Reset template button]], or manually edit the template, to ensure the new fields are added to the display<br />
* Finally the [[Teacher]] and/or [[Students]] can start entering data and (optionally) commenting on and grading other submissions. These entries can be [[viewed alone]], [[viewed as a list]] or [[searched and sorted]].<br />
<br />
== Example databases ==<br />
<br />
Moodle.org has three good examples of the database module in action:<br />
<br />
* [http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?id=6140 Moodle Buzz], a database of the titles, authors and web links to news articles mentioning Moodle<br />
* [http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=26 Themes], a database with screenshots, download links and user comments about Moodle [[Themes|themes]]<br />
* [http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13 Modules and plugins], a database containing a variety of web links (download, documentation, discussion) and info (maintainer, module type, requirements) about the modular components of Moodle, including those created by third parties.<br />
<br />
== Creative uses ==<br />
<br />
You could use the database module to:<br />
<br />
* allow collaboration on building a collection of web links/books/journal references related to a particular subject<br />
* display student created photos/posters/websites/poems for peer comment and review<br />
* gather comments and votes on a shortlist of potential logos/mascot names/project ideas<br />
* provide a [http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=52699 student file storage area]<br />
<br />
== See also ==<br />
<br />
* [[Glossary module]], which performs a similar though more specialised, text-based role and is also available for previous versions of Moodle.<br />
