==Embedded answers (Cloze)==
==Third-party question types==
 
[[Cloze|Embedded answers (Cloze)]] questions consist of a passage of text (in Moodle format) that has various answers embedded within it, including multiple choice, short answers and [[Numerical]] answers.
 
There is currently no graphical interface to create these questions - you need to specify the question format using the text box or by importing them from external files.
 
==Random short-answer matching==
 
From the student perspective, this looks just like a Matching question. The difference is that the subquestions are drawn randomly from Short Answer questions in the current category.
 
After an optional introduction, the respondent is presented with several sub-questions and several jumbled answers. There is one correct answer for each question.
 
The respondent must select an answer to match each sub-question.
 
Each sub-question is equally weighted to contribute towards the grade for the total question.
 
The questions and answers are randomly drawn from the pool of "Short Answer" questions in the current category. Each attempt on a quiz will have different questions and answers.
 
==Essay==
Short essay questions are meant for short, paragraph or two type of essays one often finds on exams. Thus we did not use the html editor, preferring a simple text field. For longer essays, the assignment module is a better choice.
 
In response to a question (that may include an image) the respondent writes an answer in essay format. Three fields may be edited when creating the essay question: the question title, the body of the question, and feedback that can be displayed at a time chosen by the facilitator.
 
The essay question will not be assigned a grade until it has been reviewed by a teacher or facilitator by using the Manual Grading feature. When manually grading an essay question, the grader will be able to enter a custom comment in response to the respondent's essay and be able to assign a score for the essay.
 
'''Essay questions in a Lesson.'''  To grade lesson essay questions, first click on the name of the lesson in your course page. If there are essay questions to be graded, there will be a link saying "Grade essay questions".  This link will open a screen showing how many ungraded essay questions there are. Ungraded essay questions will be in listed in red. Click the link for the essay you wish to grade.
 
The essay grading screen shows the title of the question, the student's essay response, and a place you can write optional comments and give the essay a score. Click the Submit grade button to record your score and comments.  Graded questions will be displayed in green.  Repeat the process to finish grading. Click the "Email graded essays" link to email your responses to your students.

You may add a variety of different types of questions in the Quiz module. Questions in a lesson behave in a similar manner but there are not as many types.

Third-party question types

Besides the standard question types that are part of the core Moodle distribution, there are question type plugins contributed by the community.

Drag and Drop

Please see the Drag and Drop question tutorial for more information.

Molecule design

The Java Molecular Editor question type allows you to ask students to design and submit a molecular structure.

Regular Expression Short Answer

Template:Moodle 1.6Like the Short Answer question, the RegExp Short Answer question expects the student to answer an "open" question with a word or a short phrase. However, using so-called regular expressions gives you access to a more powerful system for analysing the student's answers and thus providing more adapted feedback messages. The Regular Expression Short Answer question type is available for Moodle 1.6 from the Modules and plugins database.
