		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Pillsbur: Tried to fix some formatting.  This question type is too complicated for being called &amp;quot;Simple&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{Questions}}&lt;br /&gt;
Simple calculated questions offer a way to create individual numerical questions whose response is the result of a numerical formula which contain variable numerical values  by the use of wildcards  (i.e &#039;&#039;&#039;{x}&#039;&#039;&#039; , &#039;&#039;&#039;{y}&#039;&#039;&#039;) that are substituted with random values when the quiz is taken.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The simple calculated questions offers the most used features of the calculated question with a much simpler creation interface.&lt;br /&gt;
== Warning ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background-color:#d9edf7;padding:9.8px 7px 7px;color:#3A87AD;border:1px solid #bce8f1;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Problems have been reported with editing existing Simple calculated questions:&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=400875  Moodle quiz forum discussion 400875]&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-55649  Moodle Tracker MDL 55649]&lt;br /&gt;
It would be wise for you to experiment before generating many Simple calculated questions, especially if you plan to edit them, which is likely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Until the situation is checked and corrected as necessary, you can use, as a replacement for the Simple calculated question, either the Calculated question for basic questions or the Formulas question for slightly more elaborate questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== My first Simple calculated question ==&lt;br /&gt;
As a first example you will create a question asking for the surface of a rectangle. Here are the quick steps we will go over in detail:&lt;br /&gt;
*Create the question content with variables shown in {}&lt;br /&gt;
*Enter the formula using the variables and set the tolerance&lt;br /&gt;
*Determine the range of the generated set of variables that will appear in the question content&lt;br /&gt;
*Review the generated set of question contents&lt;br /&gt;
*Since it is your first, check your work from a student&#039;s view&lt;br /&gt;
===Initiating the creation process===&lt;br /&gt;
Go to the [[Question bank]], select &amp;quot;create a new question&amp;quot; and in the pop-up window select the Simple calculated.&lt;br /&gt;
The Simple calculated question interface will appear.&lt;br /&gt;
Give a name to your question in the title.&lt;br /&gt;
===The question text===&lt;br /&gt;
Fill the question text (note that the &#039;&#039;&#039;{param}&#039;&#039;&#039; names can be chosen at will. Here we will use {b} for base and {h} for height.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:33 Simple calculated first question text.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
===The Correct Answer Formula===&lt;br /&gt;
Fill the Correct Answer Formula using the &#039;&#039;&#039;{param}&#039;&#039;&#039; names used in the question text. Here we use {b} for base and {h} for height.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:33 Simple calculated first question formula.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Other answer and response parameters===&lt;br /&gt;
You will set the Grade to 100%, as this is the only answer in this question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For this exercise, leave the other parameters as they appears (0.01 relative means ±1% tolerance).&lt;br /&gt;
===Find the &#039;&#039;&#039;{param}&#039;&#039;&#039; in the formula===&lt;br /&gt;
Next, Moodle needs to understand all the {param} values you&#039;ve entered in the formula and to know the upper and lower limits for each {param}.  In the question text shown to the student, each &#039;&#039;&#039;{param}&#039;&#039;&#039; that is in the formula will display one of the generated numerical values, i.e 6.7, that you generate below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any other {enclosed text} will appear as is i.e. {enclosed text}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Simple_calculated_first_question_find_wild_card.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;Click the &amp;quot;Find the wild cards...&amp;quot; button&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
Scroll to the area below the formula setup and click the button for &amp;quot;Find the wild cards...&amp;quot;.  On reload the two {b} and {h} will be displayed.&lt;br /&gt;
===Set the minimum and maximum values===&lt;br /&gt;
Open &amp;quot;Wild cards parameters used to generate values.&amp;quot;  In the screenshot below, the &#039;&#039;&#039;{b}&#039;&#039;&#039; range has been set to a 15-20 range and the &#039;&#039;&#039;{h}&#039;&#039;&#039; range has been set to a 5-10 range, as we want students to deal with a rectangle that has a larger base than its height.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:33 Simple calculated first question set min max.jpg|400px]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Select the number of sets to generate (here 10) and to display(here 2)===&lt;br /&gt;
Just to illustrate that you can control the number of values displayed which is useful if you create 100 sets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also note the (red) warning that a valid question needs at least one set of {wild card} values.&lt;br /&gt;
You will not be allowed to save the question if you don&#039;t do the next step.&lt;br /&gt;
===Click on the generate button ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:33 Simple calculated values.jpg|400px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note the sets are shown in reverse order so the the number indicates how many sets were created.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The two sets illustrate that the variability defined by the Min and Max values.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that the formula result is analyzed and &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the tolerance limit (here 1% relative) is shown&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The correct response that will be shown to the student is also shown. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 2 decimals where defined are the default values defined as the last parameter under the Correct formula.&lt;br /&gt;
===Click on the Save button===&lt;br /&gt;
===Test your first Simple calculated question===&lt;br /&gt;
On the question bank click on the preview icon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enter the result you have calculated yourself or click on the Fill with Correct button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The values should be identical...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Editing a Simple Calculated question: Additional comments==&lt;br /&gt;
#Set the &#039;&#039;&#039;default question grade&#039;&#039;&#039; (i.e. the maximum number of marks for this question).&lt;br /&gt;
#Set the &#039;&#039;&#039;Penalty factor&#039;&#039;&#039; (see [[Calculated_question_type#Penalty_factor|Penalty factor]] below).&lt;br /&gt;
[[Calculated_question_type#Correct_answer_formula|Correct answer formula syntax]] for further details.&lt;br /&gt;
# Choose the &#039;&#039;&#039;grade&#039;&#039;&#039; that the student will get for this question if they give this answer. This should be a percentage of the total marks available. For example, you could give 100% for a correct answer, and 50% for an answer that is nearly right. &#039;&#039;&#039;One of the answers must have a 100% grade&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
#Determine the &#039;&#039;&#039;tolerance&#039;&#039;&#039; for error that you will accept in the answer. The tolerance and tolerance type settings combine to give a range of acceptable scores. So, if tolerance = t, correct answer = x and the difference between the user&#039;s answer and the correct answer is dx, then the tolerance types are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
##Nominal - mark correct if dx &amp;lt;= t&lt;br /&gt;
##Relative - mark correct if dx / x &amp;lt;= t&lt;br /&gt;
# The next 2 settings, &amp;quot;Correct answer shows&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Format&amp;quot; determine the &#039;&#039;&#039;precision&#039;&#039;&#039; of the Correct answer shown. They are not used for grading.&lt;br /&gt;
# Add some &#039;&#039;&#039;feedback&#039;&#039;&#039; which the student will see if they enter this answer.&lt;br /&gt;
# You can specify as many answer formulae as you like - click &amp;quot;Add another answer blank&amp;quot; to add more.&lt;br /&gt;
# You can also specify units for the answers. For example, if you enter a unit of &#039;cm&#039; here, and the accepted answer is 15, then the answers &#039;15cm&#039; and &#039;15&#039; are both accepted as correct. If you add more than one unit, you can also specify a multiplier. So, if your main answer was 5500 with unit W, you can also add the unit kW with a multiplier of 0.001. This means that the answers &#039;5500&#039;, &#039;5500W&#039; or &#039;5.5kW&#039; would all be marked correct. Note that the accepted error is also multiplied, so an allowed error of 100W would become an error of 0.1kW.&lt;br /&gt;
==== Penalty factor ====&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;penalty factor&#039; only applies when the question is used in a quiz using adaptive mode - i.e. where the student is allowed multiple attempts at a question even within the same attempt at the quiz. If the penalty factor is more than 0, then the student will lose that proportion of the &#039;&#039;&#039;maximum&#039;&#039;&#039; grade upon each successive attempt. For example, if the default question grade is 10, and the penalty factor is 0.2, then each successive attempt after the first one will incur a penalty of 0.2 x 10 = 2 points.&lt;br /&gt;
==Correct answer formula syntax ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;DO NOT PUT THE = sign in the formula&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* In the recent versions of the calculated question type, you could have more than one answer formula and applied a specific grading value to each of them as long as there is at least one 100% correct answer formula. If more than one correct answer formula input field are displayed when editing, your site has the multiple answer feature. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* As a general rule, write these formulas like you would in a calculator e.g. &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;3 + 5 * sin(3/{x})&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; A notable exception is exponentiation, where x&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; cannot be entered as &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;{x}^3&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, but instead should be entered as &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;pow(x, 3)&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Each function&#039;s placeholders and other arguments should be in parentheses (brackets). For example, if you want students to calculate the sine of one angle and cosine of two times of another angle, you would enter &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;sin({a}) + cos({b}*2)&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
* It&#039;s usually better to have too many parentheses (brackets) than too few. The server won&#039;t care, and the more specific you are about what you mean, the more likely it will like your complex formulas.&lt;br /&gt;
* There is no implicit multiplication. To you, the human editor, &amp;quot;5(23)&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;5x&amp;quot; may seem perfectly obvious. To the server doing the math, it&#039;s crazy talk and won&#039;t be understood. Always use the &amp;quot;*&amp;quot; for multiplication.&lt;br /&gt;
* Any special mathematical function must have parentheses around its values. Take the sine function in the first bullet point for instance. Notice that the &#039;&#039;3 / x&#039;&#039; is wrapped in parentheses (brackets)--this is so the server can understand it properly. Without those parentheses, the server won&#039;t know if you mean &amp;quot;(sin 3) / x&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;sin (3 / x)&amp;quot; and will reject the entire formula accordingly.&lt;br /&gt;
==Available functions==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Calculated_question_type#Available_functions|available functions]] are the same as for the calculated question type.&lt;br /&gt;
==Predefined constants==&lt;br /&gt;
Actually there is NO Predefined constant that is allowed other than pi() as a function without parameter.&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Pillsbur: Added section on basic workflow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{Quiz}}&lt;br /&gt;
Safe Exam Browser can work with Moodle to control what a student can access during a Moodle quiz attempt. There are two options for how to activate SEB support in Moodle. One is the built-in support, which must be enabled in &#039;&#039;Settings &amp;gt; Site administration &amp;gt; Development &amp;gt; Experimental &amp;gt; Experimental settings&#039;&#039;. This adds the choice &#039;Require Safe Exam Browser&#039; to the &#039;Browser security&#039; field on the quiz settings form. The second option is more secure: Install the [https://github.com/moodleou/moodle-quizaccess_safeexambrowser quiz access rule plugin] in Moodle. It will give you the option to copy-paste a hash key (called &amp;quot;Browser Exam Key&amp;quot;) generated from SEB settings and the application code signature into the quiz settings. Only students using an approved version of SEB and the correct settings will be able to access the quiz.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Safe Exam Browser is offered under a Mozilla Public License. The application is available for Windows, macOS and iOS as freeware.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Features==&lt;br /&gt;
Safe Exam Browser is a customised web browser, available for Windows (7, 8.1, 10), macOS (starting 10.7, recommended 10.11 or newer) and iOS (9.3.5 or newer). The application must be [https://safeexambrowser.org/download downloaded and installed] on the device that the student uses to attempt the quiz. The restrictions placed on students are similar to those in the pop-up window case, but because Safe Exam Browser is software running on the student&#039;s computer, it can do a much more effective job of restricting their actions. If you select this option: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Students will only be able to attempt the quiz if they are using Safe Exam Browser.&lt;br /&gt;
* The browser window won&#039;t have a URL or search field and back/forward navigation and reload can be disabled.&lt;br /&gt;
* SEB cannot be closed until the test is submitted.&lt;br /&gt;
* Switching to other applications is disabled by default, but it&#039;s possible to allow to use specific third party applications during an exam.&lt;br /&gt;
* Shortcut keys such as Win+Tab, Alt+Tab, Ctrl+Alt+Del, Alt+F4, Print Screen, Cmd+Tab are disabled or cannot be used to close SEB or to switch to other user accounts on the computer.&lt;br /&gt;
* The clipboard is cleared when starting and quitting SEB.&lt;br /&gt;
* The browser context menu is disabled.&lt;br /&gt;
* Specific web sites/pages/resources can be configured to be accessible during an exam, using a URL filter.&lt;br /&gt;
* Spell checking and dictionary lookup is disabled, but can optionally be allowed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Basic Usage Workflow==&lt;br /&gt;
Here is a basic workflow for integrating Safe Exam Browser into a Moodle quiz experience:&lt;br /&gt;
# Teacher [https://safeexambrowser.org/download downloads and installs] Safe Exam Browser onto their local computer&lt;br /&gt;
# Teacher configures the quiz to require the Safe Exam Browser. This setting is located at &#039;&#039;Extra restrictions on attempts &amp;gt; Browser security &amp;gt; Require Safe Exam Browser&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
# Teacher configures and saves a .seb file for students to download and open.  The .seb file contains a destination URL for the browser (this could be the address of the Moodle installation, or the specific URL of the Moodle quiz, or some other relevant URL) and any other Safe Exam Browser settings the teacher wants to enforce on the students&#039; quiz experience.&lt;br /&gt;
#* Windows: Teacher uses the SEBConfigTool.exe program (distributed as part of the Safe Exam Browser package) to configure and save the .seb file ([https://safeexambrowser.org/windows/win_usermanual_en.html#configuration Windows configuration information])&lt;br /&gt;
#* Mac OS: Teacher opens the Preferences window of Safe Exam Browser to configure and save the .seb file ([https://safeexambrowser.org/macosx/mac_usermanual_en.html#configuration Mac OS configuration information])&lt;br /&gt;
# Teacher uploads the .seb file to the Moodle course page (or distributes it via another method)&lt;br /&gt;
# Student [https://safeexambrowser.org/download downloads and installs] Safe Exam Browser on their local computer&lt;br /&gt;
# Student downloads and opens the .seb file to go to the Moodle site and take the quiz.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Upgrading Safe Exam Browser==&lt;br /&gt;
When you upgrade the Safe Exam Browser software, the Browser Exam Key value will change and you will need to update the settings in the Moodle quiz with the new value. Otherwise, your students may not be able to open the quiz. See [https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=332344 this forum post].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chrome OS and Safe Exam Browser==&lt;br /&gt;
Safe Exam Browser is currently only available for Windows, Mac and iOS. In order to lock everything down, SEB has to do a lot of operating-system-specific things. This is why it is only available for certain systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See [https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/3273084?hl=en this article] about three ways of using Chromebooks for student assessments: Chromebooks are a secure platform for administering student assessments, and when setup properly, these devices meet K-12 education testing standards. With Chromebooks, you can disable students’ access to browse the web during an exam in addition to disabling external storage, screenshots, and the ability to print.&lt;br /&gt;

==Securing a Moodle Quiz on an iPad==&lt;br /&gt;
* Safe Exam Browser is also available for iOS and can be used to securely lock an iPad (and iPhone or iPod Touch) during a Moodle quiz. From version 2.1.13, the Browser Exam Key check is supported as well.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Respondus LockDown Browser which carries out similar controls also works on iOS. See [https://www.respondus.com/products/lockdown-browser/ https://www.respondus.com/products/lockdown-browser/] for details.&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Pillsbur: /* Field types */ Added information about how to input data for the Lat/Long field type&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{Database}}&lt;br /&gt;
After creating a database, as explained in [[Database activity settings]]...&lt;br /&gt;
* 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 &#039;&#039;painting&#039;&#039;, for uploading an image file showing the painting, and two text fields called &#039;&#039;artist&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;title&#039;&#039; for the name of the artist and the painting. Alternatively, you can use a database preset (see below).&lt;br /&gt;
* It is then optional to edit the [[Database templates|database templates]] to alter the way in which the database displays entries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Database fields==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A &#039;&#039;&#039;field&#039;&#039;&#039; is a named unit of information. Each entry in a [[Database activity module|database activity module]] can have multiple fields of multiple types e.g. a text field called &#039;favourite color&#039; which allows you to type in your favourite shade, or a menu called &#039;state&#039; 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Field name and description ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The name is what is shown when an entry is added. It must be unique and short. The description is for your benefit to help identify that field.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Required field===&lt;br /&gt;
If you need to ensure one or several particular fields are always completed, then tick the box &#039;Required field&#039; when setting up the fields for your database. The field(s) will display a red asterisk when students contribute to  the database, and they will not be able to save their work until they have entered the relevant information. A new column will show the teacher which fields are required and not:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Field types ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following screenshots show &amp;quot;before&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;afters&amp;quot; of setting up fields. The selection in orange shows the field as it is displayed for the user when they add an entry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Checkbox&lt;br /&gt;
:This allows you to offer checkboxes for the user to select. Add the options one under the other. The word will appear next to a checkbox when the user clicks to add an entry. They can check more than one box.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Checkboxfield1.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Date&lt;br /&gt;
:This allows a user to enter a date by picking a day, month and year from a drop down list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Datefield1.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;File&lt;br /&gt;
:Users can upload a file from their computer. If it is an image file then the picture field may be a better choice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Filefield.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Latitude/longitude&lt;br /&gt;
:Users can enter a geographic location using 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.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Data input requirements: Data for this field must be input relative to North and East coordinates. To convert coordinates from West (e.g. 120W) to East, simply input them into the field with a &#039;-&#039; in front (e.g., -120).  Also, data must also be input in decimal format, not degree format.  Simple converters are a web search away.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Latlongfield.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Menu&lt;br /&gt;
:The text entered in the &#039;&#039;options&#039;&#039; area will be presented as a drop-down list for the user to choose from. Each line become a different option.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Menufield.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Menu (Multi-select)&lt;br /&gt;
:The text entered in the &#039;&#039;options&#039;&#039; 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Multiselectfield.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Number&lt;br /&gt;
:This allows users to enter any number. For example:&lt;br /&gt;
* 42&lt;br /&gt;
* -1000&lt;br /&gt;
* 0&lt;br /&gt;
* 0.123&lt;br /&gt;
* 3.0e8&lt;br /&gt;
:(For those who care about the technical details, the field stores floating point numbers.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Numberfield.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Picture&lt;br /&gt;
:This allows a user to upload and display an image file. &amp;quot;Single view&amp;quot; is when the image is viewed on its own; &amp;quot;list view&amp;quot; is when it is viewed in with other images. Single view can be larger than list view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Picturefield.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Radio buttons&lt;br /&gt;
:The user gets radio buttons and can choose only one. They can only submit the entry when they have clicked on one button. (Note: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.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Radiofield.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Text input &lt;br /&gt;
: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 text area field.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Textfield.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Text area&lt;br /&gt;
:This allows users to enter a long piece of text using the text editor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Textareafield.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;URL&lt;br /&gt;
:The user can add a link to a website here. If you select &#039;&#039;autolink&#039;&#039; then the URL becomes clickable.. If you also enter a &#039;&#039;forced name for the link&#039;&#039; then that text will be used for the hyperlink. For example in a database of authors you may wish people to enter the author&#039;s website. If you enter the text &#039;homepage&#039; as a forced name then clicking on text &amp;quot;homepage&amp;quot; will take you to the entered URL.&lt;br /&gt;
You can choose to have the URL open in a new window if so desired.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Urlfield.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Presets==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To avoid the necessity of always having to create a new database from scratch, the database activity module has a presets feature. An image gallery preset is included in the database module or you can browse and download one from the [https://moodle.net/mod/data/view.php?id=22 Database presets database on Moodle.net]. You can create your own presets as well and share them with others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Importing a preset===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:databasepresetsnew.png|thumb|Database presets page]]&lt;br /&gt;
To use a preset:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# On the database page, click the Presets tab.&lt;br /&gt;
# The usual way to import a preset is clicking the &amp;quot;Choose file&amp;quot; button and browsing to the ZIP file containing the preset (eg. &amp;quot;preset.zip&amp;quot;) stored on the server. If there does not yet exist a preset ZIP file on the server, upload it from your local machine. Choose the desired preset file by clicking on its action &amp;quot;Choose&amp;quot;. Finally, press the &amp;quot;Import&amp;quot; button.&lt;br /&gt;
# Alternatively, you can choose a previously loaded preset.&lt;br /&gt;
# After the import, you can start to add or import entries. All the hard work of setting up the fields and templates has been done for you. If you desire, you can still customize the fields and templates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You will see a &amp;quot;Overwrite current settings&amp;quot; checkbox after the &amp;quot;Import&amp;quot; button has been pressed. If checked, the database activity overwrites some of its current general settings by those stored in the preset:&lt;br /&gt;
* the &amp;quot;Introduction&amp;quot; HTML text&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Required entries&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Entries required before viewing&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Maximum entries&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Comments&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Require approval?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* rssarticles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Exporting a preset===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you wish to share your database presets with others, you have two options:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#Export as a ZIP file, which can then be imported to another course or Moodle site.&lt;br /&gt;
#Save as a preset, which publishes the database for other teachers on your site to use. It will then appear in the preset list. (You can delete it from the list at any time.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: Only the fields and templates of the database are copied when exporting or saving it as a preset, not the entries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Presets for download===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [https://school.moodledemo.net/course/view.php?id=57 Activity Examples course] on the School demo site has a number of database activities with presets for download.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{Quiz}}&lt;br /&gt;
Creating a new quiz is a two-step process. In the first step, you create the quiz activity and set its options which specify the rules for interacting with the quiz. In the second step you add questions to the quiz.&lt;br /&gt;
This page describes the options you can set for the quiz activity. The page [[Building Quiz]] describes how to set up the questions for the quiz.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Quiz administration==&lt;br /&gt;
When you first set up your quiz from &#039;&#039;Add an activity or resource &amp;gt; Quiz&#039;&#039;, (or, if you don&#039;t have this link, the dropdown &#039;&#039;Add an activity&amp;gt;Quiz&#039;&#039;) you will get the following settings, (which can also be changed later in the Edit Settings link of the Quiz administration settings block) All settings may expanded by clicking the &amp;quot;Expand all&amp;quot; link top right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==General==&lt;br /&gt;
Add a name here (which students will click on to access the quiz) and, if desired, a description of what they must do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Timing==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Note|The user&#039;s time-zone - as set in the user profile - only affects how a particular time is displayed to that user. The actual timing for the quiz is not changed by that.}}&lt;br /&gt;
;Open the quiz&lt;br /&gt;
:You can specify times when the quiz is accessible for people to make attempts. Before the opening time the quiz will be unavailable to students. They will be able to view the quiz introduction but will not be able to view the questions. Quizzes with start times in the future display both the open and close date for students.&lt;br /&gt;
;Close the quiz&lt;br /&gt;
:After the closing time, the students will not be able to start new attempts. Answers that the student submits after the quiz closing date will be saved but they will not be marked. &lt;br /&gt;
: Even after the quiz has closed students will still be able to see the quiz description and review their attempts. What exactly they will see depends on the settings you choose for review options (see below).&lt;br /&gt;
;Time limit&lt;br /&gt;
:By default, quizzes do not have a time limit, which allows students as much time as they need to complete the quiz. If you do specify a time limit, several things are done to try and ensure that quizzes are completed within that time:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:quiz timer.png|thumb|Navigation block showing quiz timer]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# A countdown timer is shown in the quiz navigation block &lt;br /&gt;
# When the timer has run out, the quiz is submitted automatically with whatever answers have been filled in so far &lt;br /&gt;
# If a student manages to cheat and goes over the allotted time, no marks are awarded for any answers entered after the time ran out&lt;br /&gt;
;When time expires..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are three options as to what will happen when the time limit is up. Choose the one you need from the dropdown menu:&lt;br /&gt;
# Open attempts are submitted automatically (This is the default)&lt;br /&gt;
# There is a grace period when open attempts can be submitted, but no more questions answered&lt;br /&gt;
# Attempts must be submitted before time expires, or they are not counted&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you select &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;There is a grace period...&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; then you can check the box to enable the &amp;quot;Submission grace period&amp;quot; and specify a period of time during which learners may still submit the quiz after the time is up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Note|You can change quiz availability and duration for different groups or users in the Group or User override sections in quiz administration.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Examples of how timing is handled===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#A student starts a quiz at noon. The quiz has a one-hour time-limit, and a 1 hour delay between attempts. The student gets distracted, and so actually does not submit (using the overdue handling) until 1:30pm. &#039;&#039;They are allowed to start their second attempt at 2. pm&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
#The quiz count-down timer submits a student&#039;s quiz attempt at the last second when time expires. Because the server is heavily loaded, it takes 30 seconds to process the student&#039;s attempt. &#039;&#039;The submission is accepted nonetheless.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
#Same situation as above but with a 120 second delay: &#039;&#039;The submission is rejected.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
#The delay is not because of server load but because the student found a way to cheat the timer. &#039;&#039;Moodle cannot know what causes a delay. The behaviour is controlled by the admin setting (quiz | graceperiodmin), 60 seconds by default.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
#A student is a member of 3 groups, all of which have different override settings. Which limits will apply to this student? &#039;&#039;If there is any user-specific override, then that is used, and the group overrides for that setting are not used at all. Otherwise, if there are multiple group overrides, the most generous values are used (the earliest open date, the latest close date, the longest time limit, the most number of attempts, and the student can type any of the passwords).&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Grade==&lt;br /&gt;
;Grade category&lt;br /&gt;
If you have categories in your gradebook, select the one you wish the quiz to be in here.&lt;br /&gt;
;Attempts allowed&lt;br /&gt;
:Students may be allowed to have multiple attempts at a quiz. This can help make the process of taking the quiz more of an educational activity rather than simply an assessment.  &lt;br /&gt;
{{Note|You can change the allowed number of attempts for different groups or users in the Group or User override sections of the Quiz Administration settings block.}}&lt;br /&gt;
;Grade to pass&lt;br /&gt;
Here you can set a passing grade for the quiz. This may be connected with [[Activity completion]] and [[Conditional activities]] such that a student will not be able to access a follow up activity until they have passed the quiz.&lt;br /&gt;
;Grading method&lt;br /&gt;
:When multiple attempts are allowed, there are different ways you can use the grades to calculate the student&#039;s final grade for the quiz.&lt;br /&gt;
* Highest grade - the final grade is the highest (best) grade in any attempt&lt;br /&gt;
* Average grade - the final grade is the average (simple mean) grade of all attempts&lt;br /&gt;
* First grade - the final grade is the grade earned on the first attempt (other attempts are ignored)&lt;br /&gt;
* Last grade - the final grade is the grade earned on the most recent attempt only&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Layout==&lt;br /&gt;
;New page&lt;br /&gt;
:For longer quizzes it makes sense to stretch the quiz over several pages by limiting the number of questions per page. When adding questions to the quiz, page breaks will automatically be inserted according to the setting you choose here. However, you will also be able to move page breaks around by hand later on the editing page.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Note that changing this setting has no effect on questions you have already added to the quiz&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;. The setting will only apply to questions you add subsequently. To change the page breaks in an existing quiz, you need to go to the quiz editing screen, tick the &#039;Show page breaks&#039; checkbox, then use the repaginate control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have many questions that use many high definition images and the server suffers performance issues, showing only one question per page is easier on the server that showing many (or all) questions in one page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Navigation method (available by clicking &#039;&#039;Show More&#039;&#039;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Choose &#039;&#039;Sequential&#039;&#039; instead of &#039;&#039;Free&#039;&#039;, if you want to force the student to progress through the questions in order and not go back to a previous question or skip to a later one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Question behaviour==&lt;br /&gt;
;How questions behave&lt;br /&gt;
:This is the primary way to control the experience a student has as they interact with each question in the quiz. If you want students to get immediate feedback on their response with a chance to try again, if they get it wrong, then select &#039;Interactive with multiple tries&#039; (and add some hints to your questions and specify a retry penalty if desired). If you want to replicate a traditional exam, select &#039;Deferred feedback&#039;. In other situations, the other options can be useful. For a description of all the behaviours, see [[Question behaviours]].&lt;br /&gt;
;Allow redo within an attempt (available by clicking &amp;quot;Show more&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
:If using Interactive or Immediate feedback mode, enabling this setting means students can try a question again even if they have used up their allowed attempts. This is helpful if they wish to learn from the feedback given at the end of their attempts. Importantly, for students to continue with the same question, the question definition must contain hints. It must also have been added manually into the quiz, rather than randomly (see [[Building Quiz#Adding questions]]). Otherwise, the &#039;redo&#039; will occur with a different question from the one they were working on previously if there are other questions available (such as when the question slot is filled by a random question). A student&#039;s grade for that question slot is based on the most recent question they have started. &#039;&#039;Note: by default students are allowed three tries to answer a question correctly in Interactive mode before the &#039;redo&#039; option becomes available. The number of tries cannot be reduced but it can be increased by adding more hints to the question in the &#039;Multiple tries&#039; section of the question&#039;s configuration page.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
;Each attempt builds on the last (available by clicking &amp;quot;Show more&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
:If multiple attempts are allowed and this setting is set to Yes, then each new attempt contains the results of the previous attempt. This allows the student on the new attempt to concentrate on just those questions that were answered incorrectly on the previous attempt. If this option is chosen then each attempt by a particular student uses the same questions in the same order, independent of randomization settings. To show a fresh quiz on every attempt, select No for this setting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Review options==&lt;br /&gt;
(These settings are collapsed by default)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:quizreview.png|thumb|600px|Review options expanded]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This section controls what information students will be shown when they review their past attempts at the quiz, and during the attempt in adaptive mode.  It is a matrix with check boxes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The various pieces of information that can be controlled are:&lt;br /&gt;
; The attempt: Will show how the student responded to each question.&lt;br /&gt;
; Whether correct: Displays whether the students response to each question is correct or incorrect.&lt;br /&gt;
; Marks:  Reveals the marks awarded to the student and the grade for the quiz.&lt;br /&gt;
; Specific feedback: Will show the feedback for the response to the answer as set when adding the question to the quiz. Each response to a question can have feedback for both correct and incorrect answers.&lt;br /&gt;
; General feedback: Displays the general feedback for the whole question as set when adding the question to the quiz. You can use the general feedback to give students some background to what knowledge the question was testing. &lt;br /&gt;
; Right answer:  Reveals the correct answer to each question, whether the student answered correctly or not (See note below).&lt;br /&gt;
; Overall feedback: Displays feedback for the entire quiz as set in the quiz settings (See note below).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For each of the above items, you can determine the timeframe when the students will see them:&lt;br /&gt;
; During the attempt : is only available when &#039;&#039;‘How questions behave’&#039;&#039; has been set to &#039;&#039;‘Immediate feedback’&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;‘Immediate feedback with CBM’&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;‘Interactive with multiple tries’&#039;&#039;. If set to one of these options then a &#039;&#039;‘Check’&#039;&#039; button will appear below the answer and when clicked the student will submit that response and then receive immediate feedback.&lt;br /&gt;
; Immediately after the attempt : means within 2 minutes of the student clicking &amp;quot;submit all and finish&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
; Later, while the quiz is still open : means after 2 minutes, but before the close date (if the quiz does not have a close date, this phase never ends).&lt;br /&gt;
; After the quiz is closed : means what it says (you never get here for quizzes without a close date).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Tip:&#039;&#039; Checking any of the boxes in the timeframe row, will reveal the test to the student. For example, to allow students to see their quiz immediately after taking it but not later, make sure none of the boxes in &amp;quot;Later&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;After&amp;quot; rows are checked.  The student will be able to see their grade but not get into the quiz.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: Currently, the Answers display is a bit inconsistent between different question types. For example, the matching question type shows students which of their responses are correct, but does not tell them the right answer for the ones they got wrong. The short answer and multiple choices question types do tell the student what the correct answer is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Users with the capability &#039;View hidden grades&#039; [[Capabilities/moodle/grade:viewhidden|moodle/grade:viewhidden]] (typically teachers and administrators) are not affected by these settings and will always by able to review all information about a student&#039;s attempt at any time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In your list of review options, you must have &#039;The attempt&#039; (the first option in the lists) selected  before you can enable the options to show &#039;Whether correct&#039;, &#039;Specific feedback&#039;, &#039;General feedback&#039;, and &#039;Right answer&#039;. If you choose not to let the students review the attempt, your only options are to display &#039;Marks&#039; and &#039;Overall feedback&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Appearance==&lt;br /&gt;
;Show the user&#039;s picture&lt;br /&gt;
:It is now possible, when displaying the user&#039;s profile picture for proctoring purposes, to choose whether a large image or thumbnail will be displayed. &lt;br /&gt;
;Decimal places in grades&lt;br /&gt;
:This option determines how many digits will be shown after the decimal separator (see  [[dev:Translation_langconfig|langconfig]] ) when the grade is displayed. A setting of 0 for example means that the grades are displayed as integers. This setting is only used for the display of grades, not for the display or marking of answers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Extra restrictions on attempts==&lt;br /&gt;
;Require password&lt;br /&gt;
:If you specify a password in here then participants must enter the same password before they are allowed to make an attempt on the quiz. This is useful to give only a selected group of students access to the quiz. If you have many users taking one simultaneous quiz, it may help to assign a very long password to the quiz, so that the load on the server is spread over time (see  [https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=316736#p1273704 this forum thread]).&lt;br /&gt;
;Require network address&lt;br /&gt;
:You can restrict access for a quiz to particular subnets on the LAN or Internet by specifying a comma-separated list of partial or full IP address numbers. This is especially useful for a proctored (invigilated) quiz, where you want to be sure that only people in a certain room are able to access the quiz. For example: 192.168. , 231.54.211.0/20, 231.3.56.211&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:There are three types of numbers you can use (you can not use text based domain names like example.com): &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Full IP addresses, such as 192.168.10.1 which will match a single computer (or proxy). &lt;br /&gt;
# Partial addresses, such as 192.168 which will match anything starting with those numbers. &lt;br /&gt;
# CIDR notation, such as 231.54.211.0/20 which allows you to specify more detailed subnets. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Spaces are ignored.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Enforced delay between attempts&lt;br /&gt;
:You can set a time (from seconds to weeks) between the first and second attempt of a quiz. You can also (or alternatively) set a time from seconds to weeks for subsequent attempts after the second attempt. Thus, you might allow a student to take the quiz twice immediately with no delay, but if they want to improve their score with a third attempt, they are forced to wait a week and use the time for extra revision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Browser security&lt;br /&gt;
:This is by default an advanced field, visible by clicking &amp;quot;Show advanced&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
:The options in this section offer various ways to try to restrict how students may try to &#039;cheat&#039; while attempting a quiz. However, this is not a simple issue, and what in one situation is considered &#039;cheating&#039; may, in another situation, just be effective use of information technology. (For example, the ability to quickly find answers using a search engine.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Note also that this is not just at problem of technology with a technical solution. Cheating has been going on since long before computers, and while computers make certain actions, like copy and paste, easier, they also make it easier for teachers to detect cheating - for example using the quiz reports. The options provided here are not fool-proof, and while they do make some forms of cheating harder for students, they also make it more inconvenient for students to attempt the quizzes, and they are not fool-proof.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Full screen pop-up with some JavaScript security&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:There is a limit to what the quiz, which runs on a web server, can do to restrict what the student sitting at their computer can do while attempting the quiz. However, this option does what is possible:&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:seb24.png|thumb|Student view of quiz question with full screen popup.]]&lt;br /&gt;
:* The quiz will only start if the student has a JavaScript-enabled web-browser.&lt;br /&gt;
:* The quiz appears in a fullscreen popup window that covers all the other windows and has no course navigation controls. (However, it is impossible for a web site to create a browser window that cannot be minimised or moved aside.)&lt;br /&gt;
:* The students are prevented, as far as is possible, from using facilities like copy and paste.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Require the use of Safe Exam Browser&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:This option will only appear if your administrator has enabled it in &#039;&#039;Site administration &amp;gt; Development &amp;gt; Experimental &amp;gt; Experimental settings&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:[[Safe exam browser|Safe Exam Browser]] is a customised web browser that must be downloaded and installed on the computer that the student uses to attempt the quiz. It restricts student use more effectively than a pop up window option.  Features include full screen, without web navigation options, shortcut keys including copy and paste are disabled and of course surfing the web during an exam.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Overall feedback==&lt;br /&gt;
Overall feedback is shown to a student after they have completed an attempt at the quiz. The text that is shown can depend on the grade the student got. Click &amp;quot;Show editing tools&amp;quot; to display the rich text editor, and drag the bottom right of the text box out to expand it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, if you entered:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Grade boundary: 100%&lt;br /&gt;
:Feedback: &amp;quot;Well done&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Grade boundary: 40%&lt;br /&gt;
:Feedback: &amp;quot;Please study this week&#039;s work again&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Grade boundary: 0%&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then students who score between 100% and 40% will see the &amp;quot;Well done&amp;quot; message, and those who score between 39.99% and 0% will see &amp;quot;Please study this week&#039;s work again&amp;quot;. That is, the grade boundaries define ranges of grades, and each feedback string is displayed to scores within the appropriate range.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Grade boundaries can be specified either as a percentage, for example &amp;quot;31.41%&amp;quot;, or as a number, for example &amp;quot;7&amp;quot;. If your quiz is out of 10 marks, a grade boundary of 7 means 7/10 or better. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that the maximum and minimum grade boundaries (100% and 0%) are set automatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can set as many or as few grade boundaries as you wish. The form allows you up to 5 ranges at first, but you can add more by clicking the &amp;quot;Add 3 fields to form&amp;quot; button underneath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you&#039;re getting confusing error messages about a boundary being out of sequence (when it&#039;s obviously *in* sequence), or &amp;quot;boundaries must be between 0% and 100%&amp;quot; (and they are) -- check that the Maximum Grade for this quiz is set to something greater than zero.&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to reduce the number of boundaries and feedbacks, you will need to remove all feedbacks and boundaries and then add the reduced amount.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Outcomes==&lt;br /&gt;
This setting will only appear if [[Outcomes]] have been enabled by the administrator and are used in the course. See [[Outcomes]] for how to remove an outcome once it has been added to a quiz.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Common module settings==&lt;br /&gt;
(These settings are collapsed by default)&lt;br /&gt;
See [[Common module settings]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Restrict access/Activity completion==&lt;br /&gt;
(These settings are collapsed by default)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Restrict access and Activity completion settings are visible if [[Conditional activities]] and [[Activity completion]] have been enabled in the site and the course.&lt;br /&gt;
===Quiz completion===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following automatic activity completion conditions apply to the quiz:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Require view&#039;&#039; - the student clicks on the quiz to view it&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Require grade&#039;&#039; - the student obtains a grade&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Require a passing grade&#039;&#039; - a &#039;Grade to pass&#039; is specified for the quiz in the gradebook.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;All available attempts completed&#039;&#039; - a certain number of attempts were allowed on the quiz and the student has completed them all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Group and User overrides==&lt;br /&gt;
Dates, timing and number of allowed attempts may be changed for individual users or groups by following the links &#039;&#039;Group Overrides&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;User Overrides&#039;&#039; in Quiz administration. In situations where two group overrides may apply to a single user, the most lenient date is used. For &amp;quot;Open the quiz&amp;quot; dates, this means the earliest possible date is used, for &amp;quot;Close the quiz&amp;quot; dates, this means that the latest possible date is used	Note also that if there exists a user override for a student, it will always take precedence over any group overrides.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Group overrides===&lt;br /&gt;
To change a quiz setting for a particular group, click the &amp;quot;add group override&amp;quot; button in &#039;&#039;Quiz Administration&amp;gt;Group overrides&#039;&#039;, make the changes you wish and save or enter another override.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===User overrides===&lt;br /&gt;
To change a quiz setting for a particular user or users, click the &amp;quot;add user override&amp;quot;button in &#039;&#039;Quiz Administration&amp;gt;User overrides&#039;&#039;, make the changes you wish and save or enter another override.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Site administration settings==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The quiz module has additional settings which may be changed by an administrator in &#039;&#039;Site administration &amp;gt; Plugins &amp;gt; Activity modules &amp;gt; Quiz&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The time period settings for a quiz (such as time limit, submission grace period, autosave period and so on)  can be set here with a duration of seconds, minutes, hours, days or weeks. These defaults will then be used when new quizzes are created.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Autosave period&lt;br /&gt;
:If enabled, student responses will be saved at regular period according to the selection here. the default is one minute. This is useful so that students don&#039;t lose work but does increase the load on the server. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How questions behave can be configured in &#039;&#039;Site administration &amp;gt; Plugins &amp;gt; Question behaviours &amp;gt; Manage question behaviours&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Pillsbur: /* How questions behave */ expanded the &amp;#039;Interactive with multiple tries&amp;#039; section&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{Questions}}&lt;br /&gt;
==How questions behave==&lt;br /&gt;
The following question behaviours are available when [[Quiz settings|creating a quiz]] (also when previewing questions):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Deferred feedback&lt;br /&gt;
:Students must enter an answer to each question and then submit the entire quiz, before anything is graded or they get any feedback.&lt;br /&gt;
;Adaptive mode and Adaptive mode (no penalties)&lt;br /&gt;
:Allows students to have multiple attempts at the question before moving on to the next question. This behaviour requires that the &amp;quot;Whether correct&amp;quot; box is ticked under &amp;quot;During the attempt&amp;quot; in the &amp;quot;Review options&amp;quot; section, at a minimum. &lt;br /&gt;
;Manual grading&lt;br /&gt;
:Used for essay questions (irrespective of what the quiz is set to) but you can now choose to have every question in the quiz manually graded, if you wish.&lt;br /&gt;
;Interactive with multiple tries&lt;br /&gt;
:Used for allowing multiple attempts on the same question (perhaps with a grade penalty). Students answer the question and click the &#039;Check&#039; button. If the answer is wrong, the student can click the &#039;Try again&#039; button to try a new response. Importantly, the question definition must contain hints that will be shown after each incorrect attempt, though the hint text can be as minimal as an HTML non-breaking space. Once the student has got the question right, they can no longer change their response. Once the student has got the question wrong too many times, they are just graded wrong (or partially correct) and get shown the feedback. Unless &#039;Allow redo within an attempt&#039; was enabled in the &#039;[[Quiz_settings#Question_behaviour|Question behaviour]]&#039; settings of the quiz, they can no longer change their answer. There can be specific feedback after each try the student makes, in addition to overall feedback about incorrect or correct answers and answer choices. The number of tries the student gets is the number of hints in the question definition plus one, with a minimum of three.&lt;br /&gt;
;Immediate feedback&lt;br /&gt;
:Similar to interactive mode in that the student can submit their response immediately during the quiz attempt, and get it graded. However, they can only submit one response, they cannot change it later.&lt;br /&gt;
;Deferred feedback or Immediate feedback with Certainty-based marking (CBM)&lt;br /&gt;
:With CBM, the student does not only answer the question, but they also indicate how sure they are they got the question right. The grading is adjusted by the choice of certainty, so that students have to reflect honestly on their own level of knowledge in order to get the best mark.&lt;br /&gt;
;Conditional questions&lt;br /&gt;
:If using the Interactive with multiple tries or Immediate Feedback behaviour and with the navigation method set to &#039;Free&#039;, it is possible to make the display of a question dependent on a previous question being answered first.&lt;br /&gt;
:The question editing page will display padlock icons to the right of each question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Certainty-based marking==&lt;br /&gt;
When a student answers a question they also have to state how sure they are of the answer: not very (less than 67%); fairly (more than 67%) or very (more than 80%). Their grading is then adjusted according to how certain they are, which means that for example if they answered correctly but were only guessing, their mark is adjusted from 1 to 0.33. If they answered wrongly but were very sure, their mark is adjusted from 0 to -2. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For detailed information on how CBM works and how students can benefit from it, see [[Using certainty-based marking]].&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Managing question behaviours==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An administrator can manage question behaviours available across the site in &#039;&#039;Administration &amp;gt; Site administration &amp;gt; Plugins &amp;gt; Question behaviours &amp;gt; Manage question behaviours&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Deferred feedback with explanation==&lt;br /&gt;
[https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=qbehaviour_deferredfeedbackexplain Deferred feedback with explanation] is an additional question behaviour, available for Moodle 2.6+,  that is just like deferred feedback, but with an additional input box where students can give a reason why they gave the answer they did. No attempt is made to automatically grade the explanation, nor is it required. &lt;br /&gt;
* It may be used in various ways, for example:&lt;br /&gt;
** The teacher may want to manually edit the grades where the student gave a wrong answer, to give partial credit if the student used the right method or approach.&lt;br /&gt;
** The student might want to explain their thinking, so that later, when the results and feedback are revealed, they are reminded of what they were thinking at the time, and so can reflect more deeply.&lt;br /&gt;
* You can use [[Language customization]] to change the default text string &amp;quot;Explain your reasons&amp;quot;  in the file qbehaviour_deferredfeedbackexplain.php to a more specific text such as &amp;quot;Enter justifications below if you want partial credit in numerical problems by showing your steps, ignore otherwise.&amp;quot; as described in https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=275752&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{Activity completion}}&lt;br /&gt;
==Activity settings==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on the type of activity, there are different completion requirements. For example, a [[Page|Page]] might have the requirement to &#039;&#039;require view&#039;&#039;; a [[Quiz|Quiz]] might have the requirement to &#039;&#039;require grade&#039;&#039; while a [[Forum|Forum]] might have the requirement to &#039;&#039;require posts/discussions/replies&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;gallery widths=&amp;quot;300px&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
File:Activity_completion_settings_common.png|Activity completion settings for most graded activities&lt;br /&gt;
File:Forumactivitycompletion.png|Forum activity completion settings&lt;br /&gt;
File:24assignmentsubmit.png|Assignment activity completion settings&lt;br /&gt;
File:quizpassinggrade.png|Quiz activity completion settings&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/gallery&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Completion tracking===&lt;br /&gt;
There are three options:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;Do not indicate activity completion&#039;&#039; - this will not show checks (ticks) next to the activity&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;Students can manually mark the activity as completed&#039;&#039; - students press the check (tick) to change it. (Note: they can do this even without doing the activity!)&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;Show activity as complete when conditions are met&#039;&#039; - the selected completion criteria must be met before the check (tick) will change style&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Require view===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When this option is ticked, students have to view the activity i.e. click the link in order to complete it. You should not turn on the &#039;view&#039; condition if you have other requirements - this makes extra work for the server and it&#039;s unlikely that a student could meet any other conditions without viewing the activity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Require grade===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When this option is ticked, students have to get a grade on the activity in order to complete it. For example, a quiz would be marked completed as soon as the user submits it (so long as it doesn&#039;t contain any &amp;quot;essay&amp;quot; questions).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It does not matter how well the student did. Getting any grade will mark the activity completed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Setting a grade to pass for a quiz====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is possible to distinguish between &#039;pass&#039; and &#039;fail&#039; grades so that a quiz becomes &#039;completed, passed&#039; or &#039;completed, not passed&#039; instead of just &#039;completed&#039;. These results show a different icon and alternative text in the [[Using Activity completion|Activity completion report]].&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:quizpassfail.png|thumb|400px|center]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To set this up, you need to specify the pass value for the quiz activity&#039;s individual grade:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Go to the Quiz settings and in the Grade section, locate the &#039;Grade to pass&#039; field.&lt;br /&gt;
# Enter a grade value (e.g. 5.0) &lt;br /&gt;
# Click the &#039;Save changes&#039; button&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;Completed, passed&#039; shows a green tick and &#039;Completed, not passed&#039; shows a red cross.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you have done this, anybody submitting the quiz will receive either the pass or fail completion icon. If the quiz can be taken multiple times, the completion icon will automatically update whenever the grade does.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is one limitation: this only works if grades are immediately visible to students. The grade must be neither permanently hidden, nor hidden until a certain date. If a grade is hidden then only the standard &#039;completed&#039; state will be displayed - even once the hidden date has passed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Require passing grade====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If a grade to pass is set for the quiz then it will be marked complete once the student obtains this grade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If a certain number of attempts are allowed, the quiz may be marked complete once the student has done them all (even if, for example, they did not achieve the passing grade.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that &#039;&#039;Require grade&#039;&#039; must be ticked as well as &amp;quot;Require passing grade&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lesson completion settings===&lt;br /&gt;
The following settings are specific to the Lesson activity (in additon to the standard ones)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:newlessonconditions.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Require end reached====&lt;br /&gt;
In order for the lesson to be marked complete, the student must go to the very last page of the lesson.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Require time spent====&lt;br /&gt;
In order for the lesson to be marked complete, the student must stay within the lesson pages for the time specified by the teacher here. The time can range from seconds to weeks. If they finish the lesson sooner, they will see an alert saying they did not reach the minimum time acceptable and may have to repeat the lesson.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:lessonstudentviewrequiretimespent.png|thumb|400px|center|Student message if the condition is not met.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Assignment completion settings===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====Student must submit to this activity to complete it=====&lt;br /&gt;
This setting means that an assignment may  be considered as completed once the student has submitted it but before the teacher has had time to grade it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Forum completion settings===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Require posts====&lt;br /&gt;
For the forum to be classed as &amp;quot;complete&amp;quot; the student must either start a discussion or reply to a discussion. The total number of posts they must make can be specified in the box.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Require discussions====&lt;br /&gt;
For the forum to be classed as &amp;quot;complete&amp;quot;, the student must start a discussion topic. The number of posts they must make can be specified in the box. &#039;&#039;Note: this requirement cannot be satisfied using the &amp;quot;Single simple discussion&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;Q and A&amp;quot; forum types, since students cannot create discussions in those two types.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Require replies====&lt;br /&gt;
For the forum to be classed as &amp;quot;complete&amp;quot; the student must reply to a discussion. The number of posts they must make can be specified in the box.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Expect completed on===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When a date is entered here for a Forum activity, or for a resource, such as a Page or Folder, the expected completion date will be displayed on the new [[Course overview block]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Locked completion options==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If at least one person has completed an activity, completion options are &#039;locked&#039;. This is because changing these options may result in unexpected behaviour.  For example, if somebody has ticked an activity as manually completed, and you then set it to automatic completion, the activity will become unticked - very confusing for the student who had already ticked it!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Tip:&#039;&#039; It is best not to unlock options unless you are sure it won&#039;t cause problems - for example, if you know that students don&#039;t have access to the course yet, so it will only be staff who have marked the activity completed when testing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What happens when you unlock==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you unlock options and then click &#039;Save changes&#039;, all completion information for the activity will be deleted and, if possible, regenerated according to the new settings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* If the new completion option is manual, everyone will be set to &#039;not completed&#039; regardless of any previous setting.&lt;br /&gt;
* If it is automatic then, depending on the options chosen, the system may or may not be able to construct a correct current value for everyone.&lt;br /&gt;
** The &#039;viewed&#039; requirement will not work - even if a student has viewed the activity before, it will not be marked completed until they view it again.&lt;br /&gt;
** Most other options will be recalculated successfully.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you change completion options while a student is logged in, they may not see the changes for some minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Required site settings==&lt;br /&gt;
To use activity completion, the feature needs to be enabled for the site by an administrator as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
*In &#039;&#039;Administration &amp;gt; Site administration &amp;gt; [[Advanced_features| Advanced features]]&#039;&#039; check the &amp;quot;Enable completion tracking&amp;quot; box.&lt;br /&gt;
*The admin may also set the default completion tracking setting when adding new activities, choosing from &#039;Do not indicate completion&#039; or &#039; Use activity default&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
{|&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Click the &#039;Save changes&#039; button&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Required course settings==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Administration &amp;gt; Course administration &amp;gt; Edit settings&#039;&#039; and look for the &#039;&#039;Completion tracking&#039;&#039; section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You must enable this setting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Changing activity completion settings in bulk==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within a course, the default settings for activity completion may be changed and several activities may have their completion settings updated at once, from the tabs in the Course completion screen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:activitycompletiondefaultbulk.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Default activity completion&#039;&#039;&#039; allows you to select one or more course activities or resources and change their default settings (usually &#039;manual&#039;) to a setting of your choice. For example, if you always want your quizzes to be completed with a specific passing grade, you can specify this here. If you always want assignments to be completed when submitted, you can specify this here. Note that the altered settings only apply to items added after the change, not to existing items on the course page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Bulk edit activity completion&#039;&#039;&#039; allows you to change the completion requirements of one or several existing activities in one step. For example, if you have four quizzes with manual activity completion, you can bulk edit them so that all four require a grade to be marked complete.&lt;br /&gt;
