Banco de questões

Template:Questões Esta funcionalidade permite a um professor criar, pré-visualizar e editar questões em um banco de dados de categorias de questões. As categorias podem ser limitadas ao uso em todo o site, ao uso em todo o site, apenas em determinado curso ouem determinado curso ou questionário. As questões de uma categoria podem ser adicionadas a um questionário ou a uma lição por meio de exportação. O professor/autor entra no banco de questões ao criar ou editar uma atividade de questionário ou através do bloco de Administração

A página original do Banco de Questões possui abas que lhe permitem (como professor/autor) editar questões, categorias, importar questões e exportar questões.

Selecionar uma categoria

--- para tradução do original em inglês:

Select a category

Questions are organised into categories. Initially each course has only one category called "Default". It is good practice to create more categories to organize your questions. This not only makes it easier to find questions, but makes the use of random questions and matching question easier. You can create a hierarchy of categories because you can create subcategories inside parent categories. To add or edit categories click on the "Categories" tab.

The question editing screen shows the questions from the currently selected category. You choose this category from the Category: drop-down menu. Using the tick box below that menu you determine whether to also show the questions from all subcategories.

Categories are shared in contexts since Moodle 1.9

Template:Moodle 1.9Since Moodle 1.9 there are separate question category trees in each different 'context' in which questions are shared. The contexts available to you depend on whether you access the question bank from an activity or from a course and depend on the permissions assigned you for access to questions. See Question contexts for more information on these contexts.

Add a new question

Click the Questions tab to access the Question Bank page, if not there already.
From the Category drop-down menu, select a category you want to add a question to.
The page will change to show the questions already in that category
Select the question type you want to create from the Create new question drop-down menu.
Fill in the form for the question type you are creating. Each question type has its own form and has its own options.
Click Save Changes at the bottom of the form.

Preview, Edit, Delete, and Move

The first column in the list of questions contains a number of icons and a selection box.

Clicking on the Preview icon will open a preview window in which you can test the question. The Edit icon allows you to edit the question via the same form that you used to create it. The Delete icon deletes the question, provided it is not already in use in some activity. The selection box allows you to select a subset of questions that you can then move to another category using the controls below the list of questions.

Template:Moodle 1.9As of Moodle 1.9 the move icon allows you to move one question at a time.

Tips and tricks

Put the answer into the question name so you can quickly see the answers when students are asking for answers. This is especially useful if you're dealing with large sets of questions! (No option yet for viewing category or answer of question in the list of questions.)
Export questions in GIFT or Moodle XML formats, then import them into a Lesson. (Future versions of Moodle will make Question bank available to both Lesson and Quiz activities.)
Remember that while some of the same question types can be found in both the Quiz and Lesson modules, they can be very different. Scoring and grading each student's choice is more robust in a Quiz. On the other hand, each Lesson question answer also has a jump associated it.
Use GIFT or other export modes to print questions and answers in a category. Hint, clever use of word processor macros, using search and replace, can tidy up a GIFT file for printing.
The question title is useful in sorting and making notes. For example, "ZZ remove 2010-3 Why did the Moodler cross", will put this question at the bottom of the list. Or where you want a the questions in a category to appear in a specific order, use letters or numbers, knowing that AA will come first, AB will be second in the list.
Do a copy and paste from a PDF file into the question content area. Reduces "other" hidden code which Word, Open Office and other programs can insert.
