How can I enable Excel export for students?
With the Database activity you have the ability to allow students to export all the data in the following formats: CSV, Excel and ODS (OpenDocument Spreadsheet from OpenOffice).
With this functionality students can choose to export the data of all fields or only of selected fields. (Picture fields cannot be exported.)
However, this feature is not enabled by default for students. You need to override the student permissions for the Database activity and choose 'Allow' for the permission to 'View presets from all users'.
This will result in the 'Export' tab being visible to students in the Database activity.
Also see this thread for a discussion on this.

Which formats are used for importing questions?
If you want to create questions outside of Moodle these two text based formats might be the most important:
- GIFT - Moodle 'proprietary' text format for import and export. Reasonably comprehensive.
- See GIFT format.
- Here is a 2-column GIFT format reference sheet: GIFT Reference Sheet
- Moodle XML - Moodle 'proprietary' xml format for import and export. Very comprehensive.
You find the complete list of supported formats under Import questions.
Which file formats can I use?
What encodings should I use?
The recommended standard encoding for all Moodle files is UTF-8.
- See Importing Entries Using a Text File for an example where a UTF-8 file with BOM caused Database Activity entries not being imported. See also MDL-9075 ("User Upload Failure when file contains UTF-8 BOM").
- Some of this information is collected at UTF-8 and BOM.
