Description:

Whilst it requires an up-front investment in time, automated testing is a great method to speed up assessment in your module, check student understanding and offer formative practice tests to students. Moodle contains a comprehensive set of question types and can operate in many scenarios, from formative testing all the way up to high-stakes exams. This initial session will give an overview of the questions available in Moodle and offer a chance to author your first questions.

This session takes place in-person in Library Training Room 1

Outcomes:

At the end of this session you will be able to:

• Create basic quiz questions such as multiple-choice.
• Author complex questions such as drag-and-drop.
• Be aware of advanced mathematical question authoring using "STACK".
• Be aware of automated code testing questions using "Code Runner".
• Manage your questions in the question bank using draft, versioning and category features.
• Understand how Moodle automatically determines the effectiveness of questions.

Suitable For:

This is an in-depth session and will cover the creation of basic quiz questions and touch on the possibilities available for more advanced code-based and mathematical questions. As such, it's recommended for academic staff looking to incorporate automated assessment into their courses. It's also suitable for existing quiz users who want to see the quiz updates brought via the recent Moodle 4 upgrade.

What Next:

This is the first of 3 training sessions related to Moozle Quizzes. Continue with Quizzes Part 2 - Quizzes and Quiz Management.
