Quiz module: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 07:57, 4 February 2015

The Quiz activity module allows the teacher to design and build quizzes consisting of a large variety of Question types, including multiple choice, true-false, and short answer questions. These questions are kept in the Question bank and can be re-used in different quizzes.

Features

Quizzes can be configured to allow multiple attempts. Each attempt at a question is automatically marked, and the teacher can choose whether to give feedback and/or show the correct answers.

There are many ways to use a quiz.

Feedback about performance and self-assessment are important parts of a learning environment. There are several ways to give feedback to students: on each question or overall. The quiz module can display feedback and scores at different times during the quiz, using the review options in the Quiz settings.

A wide variety of Quiz reports (in addition to Grades) are available for use by the teacher. Quiz reports not only can focus on a single student's attempt to answer each question, but also can perform a robust item analysis of a question's validity based upon aggregated student responses.

A single quiz can automatically select random and/or specific questions from different categories of questions.

There are different options for scoring (marks-grades) individual questions in a specific quiz, grading attempts for a quiz and each question type.

The quiz settings allow different display methods. They can randomize the questions for each student and or randomize the answers for each student.

The teacher can determine the number of questions on each page of questions the student sees. The teacher can change the position of any question in the quiz. It is possible to put a label with information any place between questions.

The teacher can choose how questions behave during the quiz. It can be like a classic test, where the student gets no feedback while attempting the test, only later. Alternatively, Moodle can reveal the grades and/or feedback to the student during the quiz, and perhaps even give them another chance to answer the question (for fewer marks) having read the feedback.

The about list only mentions a few features of the quiz module and how it works with the question bank. Please follow the links on this page to learn more.

-Quizzes help figure out what students have learned.
-Feedback about performance and self-assessment are important parts of a learning environment. There are several ways and levels to give feedback to students: on each question or overall. Feedback and scores can be displayed at different times using the quiz module's review options.
-A wide variety of [[Quiz reports]] help the teacher go beyond the [[Grades]].  A well-designed test can give critical information about a student's understanding of the material. Quiz reports can focus on a single student's attempt to answer each question, or can perform a robust analysis of a question's validity based upon aggregated student responses.

+There are many ways to [[Using Quiz|use a quiz]].
-Moodle’s quiz module has a large number of options and tools, making it extremely flexible. Quizzes with different question types can be randomly generated from [[Question bank|categories]] of questions. Students can be allowed repeated attempts at a question. They can be allowed to retake quizzes multiple times.
+* Feedback about performance and self-assessment are important parts of a learning environment. There are several ways to give feedback to students: on each question or overall. The quiz module can display feedback and scores at different times during the quiz, using the review options in the [[Quiz settings]].
-There are different scoring options available for each type of quiz and each question type available in the [[Question bank]].
+* A wide variety of [[Quiz reports]] (in addition to [[Grades]]) are available for use by the teacher. Quiz reports not only can focus on a single student's attempt to answer each question, but also can perform a robust item analysis of a question's validity based upon aggregated student responses.
-In addition, different presentation methods can make even the same quiz appear different.  Questions can be shuffled. The number of questions displayed per page can be set automatically. Page breaks can also be forced.
+* A single quiz can automatically select random and/or specific questions from different [[Question bank|categories]] of questions.
-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, nearly impossible to score it 10 times for each student retest, or to regrade a quiz because of any number of reasons.  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. You can explore how to apply these advantages on the[[Effective quiz practices]] page.

-The quiz module index page lists all the quiz activities in the course, organized under four headings:
-# '''Topic''' - the number of the block, in which the given quiz appears
+* The teacher can determine the number of questions on each page of questions the student sees.  The teacher can change the position of any question in the quiz. It is possible to put a label with information any place between questions.
-# '''Name''' - the name of the quiz
-# '''Quiz closes''' - the date after which the quiz will be closed
-# '''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.
