Third-party question types

Besides the standard Question types that are part of the core Moodle distribution, there are a number of additional question type plugins in the plugins database.

Some of those additional question types have their documentation links below. There are many question types available for assessing the knowledge of chemistry, maths, music and computer programming, but as more new additional plugins are continuously being developed, this list might be outdated. The Supported Moodle versions listed here were those available at the time this documentation page was made and might have been updated (or not):
